In view of the fact of the enormous number of men who are unable to obtain employment, what steps would you suggest for the amelioration of this condition? Trace the gradual stages of the enforced retirement of man from business enterprises. Can this be attributed to the willingness of women to accept lower wages? In what year was there a pro- portion of three women to every man employed? 12, Is it reasonable from past records to suppose that man is capable of filling a position of importance? If so, would you consider it advisable to pay him the same salary as a woman of similar age and attainments? 13, Describe from illustrations prior to 1929 the appear- ance and habits of ‘‘ babies.’’ What constituted the ‘divinity of motherhood"?
