HELP IN THE HOME
It seems to be becoming usual for mothers to justify their need for help in the home (when they are fortunate enough to possess one). Circumstances still have a habit of altering cases and health and personal preferences, too. have their effect on our way of life. Some of us would like a little more time for such things as taking the baby to the beach a little more often, picking up the threads of a long-neglected musical education, attending adult educational classes, or even (terrible thought) a little time to ourselves— not a very indulgent programme, but one which would have its ultimate effect on family and community alike, and. who'knows, even the birthrate. The question arises, is it beneficial that women, in normal times, should be expected to forsake outside interests in order to give undivided attention to raising a family? I have never been able to see that there is virtue in unremitting toil. DOUBLET.
