Recently an elderly woman stopped a chaplain of an infantry regiment to ask about her boy. She knew he had been killed in action, but “did he have the last rites of the church? Did he have a Christian burial?” ‘The chap- lain, his eyes filled with t as- gurea her he did, and as hé turned away was heard to remark: “God for- give mo!

Make More Jobs for Soldiers. Dean Johnson of the University School of Commerce Takes Advanced Views of the New Post-War Problem. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall Copyright, 1919, by the Prew Publishing Co, (The New York Erming World.) F the 27,000,000 adult women in the United States, it has just been estimated by The Woman Citizen that 40 per cent, or 10,600,000, are wage-earners to-day, It is a matter of common knowledge that, during the war, women invaded many occupations and were pro moted to many posts of responsibility formetly monope- lized by men, Now that our soldiers are returning are these women going to give up their jobs? Ought they to do so? And OH if they do not, what will be the result for taem and for me! Both sexes are discussing these questions with an im- tensity amounting almost to bitterness. I decided to sub- mit them to an arbiter qualified by his knowledge of economic history and law, and by his ability to think. clearly, logically and progressively. He is Joseph French Johnson, Dean, of the New York University School of Commerce, President of Alexande: Hamilton Institute and author of “Business and the Man.” And first 1 asked him to talk about woman's new status in business and industry from the point of view of sands more women into sale wage - earning occupations than ever were in them before, and new workers seem inclined to stick, now the war is over, ts the best thing that ever happened to women,” Dean Johnaon declared. “I believe much of the unhappiness in the world has been caused by the fact that so many women have had nothing in particular to do. I belleve this condition of affairs is the basis of much matriinonial unhappiness. ‘There 1s nothing in this business of marrying @ man and then sponding the rest of your Mfe doing his dishes and waiting for him to ecme home. “So many times I have seen It turn out badly,” Dean Johnson added, with crisp decision. “And now, when a young woman comes to me and says, ‘I'm going to be married,’ I ask her, ‘Do you love him? And if she an- swers—as not infrequently she does— Well, I like him @ lot, and he'll give me a home,’ I tell her, ‘Don't do it! Unless you love him go much that you will be more miserable without him than you ever will with him, don’t marry!" * And {t ts Dean Johnson's opinion, also my own, that the number of marriages of convenience—really as unfair to the husband ag to the wife will decrease as the number of really decent and interesting Jobs for women Increase. To escape from « sweated Industry, aa to escape trom a tyrannous parent, @ girl will marry anything that comes along and she and “anything” will live unhappy ever after, But if she gets a chance to compete with men in a fair fleld for well-paid work offering prosnects of promotion, then the man she mar- | ries may count himself a knight of | romance and not a mere meal ticket. | “The war," continued Dean John- son, “has given women business op- portuntties they might not have ob-| i oe fem ate WOMEN. HAT the war has forced thou- should not tet marriage interfere witht business, “The assumption that the home ts menaced by such an arrangement ts,/ unjustified. We are an individualistic people, and we shall not adopt com- munity Hving, We want our own Places where we can do as we please. I do not like to criticise women, but I venture to say that the married business woman can obtain the do- | mestic assistance necessary to run he» home smoothly and effictently it she will deal with her employees tm 4& businesslike fashion—e thing she never bas done up to the present time. Housework has been a feudal, not @ business, relation, “When the domestic employer stops wanting to know where her maid ta every evening, when the maid may sit down for a half-hour in the ternoon without some duty found for her immediately, the ghort- tained in years of peace. ‘Tho war a domesti really has been a sort of forcing Bay rs paciemse Gareanid' may: ie house for thelr capabilities, Em- ‘ As for the effect of the new eco- nomic status of woman upon the next xeneration, Dean Jobnson believes there always will be enough babies, and that with elimination of wars and pestilence one of the world’s problems will be keeping {ts popu- lation down to the limits of the food supply. ‘ “Women ought to work,” he omm- med up. LL women ought to work, The increased number of women in business will mean that women will be healthier, happier and more val+ uable economically, And men will benefit as well as women.” What the new fobs for women will mean to men will be discussed by ! Dean Jobngon tn a second article, Throw This i Man Out of a Job.
