V In the Toronto Sun. “Bystander ’ (Prof. Goldwin Smith) says: , “Among the causes of the growing scarcity of domestic service, an Ameri- can journal reckons the drawingofi' of women into employments hitherto mule. It is not likely that, many of the women who trike to male cmploynnents Would. otherwise havo taken to domestic ser- vice. 'But the fact that so many women are invading male employmcnts is in itself serious. '1 here is growing among among women a disposition to renounce matrimony and maternity. and instead of being the partners of man,. tobecome his competitors. They want, some of tllem'say, to live their own lives. as though the life of a woman could be perfect without domestic affection. Men, crowded out of employments which have hitherto been theirs, will have no means of maintaining- wives, and. it is notth be expected that their celibacy will‘siwuys be pure. But the economic consequen- cos of the revolt of womau','though seri- ous, are not its most serious part. The most) serious part of it _ igthc change of woman’s ideal. liti'AaiIstraliugi't‘lle para- disc of ‘politieul‘experiment, where they had forty changes of. Government in thirty-seven years, feminism is being carried .to its extreme length. In one of the Pharisees women have been made eligible to the Legislature. It is rather significant that at the same time Australians nre lamenting a dangerous decline in the birth rutcl’ \ _We do not believe thatn disposition to'renouncc matrimony and maternity is growing among women, or that there is any change in their ideal, and it is unfair to blame them for that which is not their fault. How Innny women out. of every thousand who are “ invading male employments" would not rather be wives and mothers than sales-ladies, book-keepers, stenographers or type- writers? Probably not a dozenâ€"cer- tainly not fifty. There is no change in human nature; but capitalism has caus- ed a change in conditions, and the num- ber ot'mcn who remain unmarried be- cause they doubt their ability to sup- port wives and families is constantly in- creasing. That’s what ’s the matter. Fenelon Council; Cameron, January 11th, 1904.
