rk in industrial occupations which offer employment to women.

The woman of the home has work of unrivalled value. She has to study new
standards of living, to help to control the food supply, to improve the
health of children, and to lower the rate of infant mortality. A standard
of living in each community might be tabulated by women home-makers. Such
information should be available in each locality and should be accessible
to all classes in the community. How are workers--girls, boys, men, or
women--to know on what sums individuals and families can live and maintain
health and efficiency in one district or another, if these matters are not
studied, determined, and published for their use?
