Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Domestic Service
No success had been anticipated in securing replies from employees; but as any study of domestic service would be incomplete without looking at it from this point of view, the attempt was made. As a result, 719 blanks were returned filled out. In some instances employees, hearing of the inquiry, wrote for schedules and returned them answered. In a few cases correspondence was car ried on with women who had formerly been in domestic service. The in?uences that operated to prevent employ ers from answering the inquiries made had even greater force in the case of employees. In addition, there was present a hesitation to commit anything to writing, or to sign a name to a document the import of which was not clearly understood by them.
The limited amount of information that could be given explains the small number of returns received to the third schedule, about two hundred.
