NURSERY SCHOOLS
DOMESTIC, PLANS IN SWEDEN
Miss Caroline Haslett, president of the British Federation of Business and Professional Women, which represents 28 affiliations with women's national organisations, speaking of domestic issues in Sweden, rays:—
"The women in Sweden are concentrating on nursery schools for the immediate future which will make it possible for" a mother to work if she wishes to do so. They have a law' by which a woman may not be dismissed on marriage, nor if she is-about, to become a "mother. -It is based, not on our ideas --of women's rights, but on the point of view of the family. They think that a woman is a far better mother if she can continue her career if she wants to do so. Women in Sweden want also to put domestic service on to a higher level. They are more, democratic than we were before the war. I was interested to see the daughters of the house taking their turn at waiting on table with the one maid, whom they looked upon as an expert."
