Midwest Fathers Lend Hand On Home Jobs, Survey Shows

Mothers Grateful for Help but Want to Be Alone In Kitchen at Meal Time.

Bw Sq nee Nervice

ATHER'S place is in the home--just as much as mother’s. In fact, |

America is getting

sex equality in

homemaking

meaning

that father does a bigger share of home work. If vou inquire into home life of American fathers—and two home management specialists, Zella Dague Forsyth and F. Howard Forsyth, ——————————————————————————— en -

have been doing just that in the Midwest—you learn that the maJority of fathers help to some extent with these duties: Selecting Junior's clothing. Helping the children feed themselves. Seeing that Pegeyv does her lessons. Developing the children’s mnterest in religion and nature. Dressing t he children. Reading aloud Washing and drving the dishes. Washing clothes. These aren't all the duties that fathers are frequently assuming either alone or as first assistant to mother. But they give you an idea of the trend.

'R. AND MRS. FORSYTH, who have married since they made this study together at Iowa State College, put their questions to 300 fathers from Iowa south into Texas. Half of the fathers were farmers. Half were professional men jn towns now larger than 20.000 Wives generally like husbands to help everywhere about the home except in the Kitchen at meal time and in the laundry. So t he Forsyths declare, discussing their survey in the Journalof Home Economics, What husbands like is harder to find out The investigators call them “less articulate,” and say it is probably because men still do less homemaking than women and have fewer well-defined attitudes. But here is what fathers, generally speaking, think: They like caring for their children and repairing the house. They don't like fixing meals, doing laundry or cleaning. Even at that, there are significant minorities among fathers, Eighteen farmer fathers out of 150 stanchly said they liked fixing meals.

HE tasks that fathers dislike |

tend to be dropped when they earn more money or move to the city or otherwise find a good way of getting someone else to do these chores. The Forsyths found that professional families get many more tasks regularly done by paid help at home, or outside the home, than is the case with farm households. Sex equality in the home boils down to this: Families that can afford it, shift off the less enjovable h o m e making tasks. What is left is shared, more and more, by husband and wife, Mother's feminist yearning for a career may have had something to do with this trend toward a 5050 homemaking business, but the Forsyths lay stress on “basic cultural changes.” They have a word for this sex equality trend in the home: Homemaking, they say, “is in some respects already moving toward equalitarianism.”

Children Going On Bus Jaunt? Plan Far Ahead

Directed by Adults, Such Outings Are Wholly Safe—and Fun.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Thoughts are turning to vacation trips. Parents, as usual, are anxious to give their children an outing, even though they are not able to

get away themselves. The bus trip has taken hold of the organized vouth clubs but I see no reason why neighborhood or community clubs could not do the same thing. Parents could get together and arrange for such trips. In charge of responsible and exe perienced adults, they would be very safe, I think,

Girls, Too

Whether or not younger children were to go. would depend upon con=ditions, distance, objective and health. Girls need not be left bee hind, for their groups can be ore ganized on the same principles as those of the boys. A difference in the personnel of chaperones would be about the only distinction. If you happen to be thinking of some such trip for a party of young people, my advice is to plan ahead every move to be made Reservations must be sought early. An outfit intending to camp nights, should know where it can do so. There will have to be an extra truck to haul tents, beds and bedding, food and kits.

No Solitary Jaunts

Rules for governing evervbody must be made in advance, so there will be no misunderstanding of orders and the authority of the indi= vidual in charge. One law should be final, and that is that no member of the traveling group may go off alone. I suggest the idea for those who are not aware of the trend to travel, among youth groups, because .there is not only educational value in visiting strange places, but the equally instructive thrill of discovering our country. If properly organized, T know of no better way for John or Marv to have a fine vacation than the bus trip.

Nora Gregory To Read Comedy

Miss Nora Gregory, senior student at Ladywood School, will present a reading of “Pygmalion and Galatea,” Greek mythological comedy by W'. S, Gilbert, at 8 o'clock tonight in the Ladywood drawing room. Miss Gregory is a private pupil of Mrs. George S. Foerderer, A four-year dramatic art pupil at Ladywood. Miss Gregory played Hannah Lightfoot in “Friend Hannah,” final play of the school's sea« son last vear.

Miss Mary Mowat, music student, will assist Miss Gregory in the program which is open to patrons of the school and their friends.
