WOMEN WANT SCHOOLBOYS TAUGHT HOUSEWORK

Where Victorian Mothers Failed

Victorian mothers did not properly teach their children household duties, declared delegates at the annual meeting of the National Council of Women of Great Britain at Seymour Hall, W., recently.

They had lived to regret this bitterly, especially in recent years when it was becoming increasingly difficult to obtain domes- tic help.
