try faithfully in the 357th infantry
of thp 90th division. He participat-
ed in the Saint Mihiel offensive
and the Meuse-Argonne engage-
ments, and he was with the army
of occupation in Germany. He was
awarded the Victory medal. He was
honorably discharged June 21, 1919.
He has always been a member of
the American Legion. He was
gassed in the war. and only two
members of his company are noiv

There was one man in the early
Christian church in Jerusalem that
was so outstanding’ for his sweet-
ness of spirit that the writer gave
him special mention above all the
others of that early group. This
is what he wrote of Barnabas,
for that was the name of the man:
“He was a good man, and full of
the Holy Spirit and of faith.” This
same tribute may be given to Mr.
Essley.

YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Girls Trained as Domestics Spare Housewives From
Nerve-Wracking Daily Tasks
By CLAUD NORTH CHR1SMAN, M.D.
DROBABLY no statistics can give
* as facts about illnesses, espe-
cially among women, that grow
out of the problem of domestic
help. With the demands made by
the modern

family upon
the housekeep-
er. it seems in-
creasingly nec-
essary to have
outside help
for the many
domestic
duties.

thing of the past. Now the prob-
lems of laundry and cooking, serv-
ing. caring for the children, and a
congested program of entertain-
ment make the management of a
home so difficult that one pair of
hands is no longer enough.
Where to find the person who will
come into r. strange home and as-
sume a part of the burden without
causing too much friction is the
problem from which arises a large
percentage of the nervous ailments
of women. After all. the mainte-
nance of good health involves the
ability to control a varied program
of important and even critical sit-
uations with real poise and steady
nerves.
That these problems arise In the
routine of housekeeping and with
good cause will not be questioned.
Some few years back. Mrs. Edna
Coffin Craven, the wife of one
of our competent consulting engi-
neers. herself a college graduate
with marked executive ability, be-
gan the task of analyzing the rea-
sons why clever women of her
group had so much trouble with
the domestic help situation, with
often disastrous results upon the
nervous systems of the home-
makers themselves.
Out of Mrs. Craven’s research
was born the present setup of
I’ Training
our Household Workers’
School. After a considerable finan-
cial struggle, the school now has
the loan of two WPA teachers and
Is a beneficiary of the city and of
the city's Council of Social Agen-
cies.
The school began very simply
under the Vocational Committee
of the Y.W.C.A. Its first meetings
were held in private homes, but
today it is quartered in a large
home lent by the Young Women's
League.
Mrs. Craven is still the director
and moving spirit. Her own state-
ments regarding the project may
help other harassed housewives
whose peace of mind and nervous
health depend upon finding an
answer to their domestic problems
“Domestic employment is pri-
marily a woman's problem.” says
Mrs. Craven, “and this problem is
not new in our community, since
a letter written 111 years ago de-
plores the fact that competent
servants could not be obtained."
The first approach to the difficulty
has been In the effort to eliminate
the term “servant." not only to
bolster the employed person's self
respect but to dignify household
employment. Three hundred and
fifty-five girls have already been
registered in the school more than
200 have graduated. 105 having
been placed satisfactorily.
An organized Guidance Center
is responsible for the mental tests
for entrance and the Public Health
Department co-operates in phys-
ical examinations, to insure the
employer against contagion. The
employer likewise is enlisted in the
project to secure her personal in-
terest in the prospective employee's
welfare. This, the school contends,
is most essential, and an impor-
tant factor tn the problem.
Mr*. Craven says further. "We
try to teach the girls that their
skills are their best bargaining
tools, and that they are selling
health, comfort, and happiness
rather than just the menial tasks
of washing, serving, ironing, and
the like.” The school is unique In
lta altruistic attitude toward this
class of employment.
