THE COURIER. 11 r J V Jr The .Social Value of Unattached , Women. We have not yet fully recognized the social value of the unattached women of our country. The presence of a large body of. single women in a community is an essentially modern condition. This social phenomenon is of immense impor ance. It has been measured bo far mainly as an evil; the evil to the - o man herself in losing her share in the great processes of reproduction, with all the care and happiness involved; the -evil to society in the multiplication of opportunity for illicit union in varied forms, and the economic ejril to men in having either to "support" or "compete with" these single women. The economic contradiction is easily i disposed of, its error lying in our com r mon assumption that "pay" is the ob ject of working. We think of the "pay" the man gets, and that if the woman, too, gets some of the pay, she robs him. Look instead at the plain fact that work is done to make something or to carry it about. Production or distribution these are the two great divisions of hu man labor. Now consider a farmer raising corn, and having six daughters, four sieters and thiee maiden aunts de pending on him for support. If he alone has to raise corn, they will all bo hungry. If these amiable ladies all put a hand to the plough and a shoulder to the wheel, the corn supply is multiplied by thirteen a visible increase of wealth, whether they eat or sell. A woman con sumes goods to a large extent, and unless 6he produces them she is a burden on f society somewhere. It is a pity that any human creature should miss that large field of human usefulness and joy, marriage and the raising of children. But for a thousand reasons some of us must; and the loss must simply be faced and borne like any other deprivation, and, like others, it has its compensations. The effect on prostitution and kind red evils is a serious one, but largely economical in its nature. The single woman most cpen to this sort of .tempta tion are these unable satisfactorily to support themBelvPS. Give good econom ' ic conditions and the average woman does not succumb to that form of tempt ation. But when economic advantage is all that way, when the world is added to the flesh and the devil, it is true that a large surplusage of women means an increase in prostitution. But now let us look upon the bright side of the picture, upon the immense social advantages.accruicg through this class. For the first time in history, we see women acting freely and as indi viduals upon the society of their times. Instead of being absorbed, contented, wholly occupied and limited by their own families, we have now the heart and mind and ever-serviceable hind of woman turned loose to serve the world in general. The power of love, un drained by its natural recipients, is freed for wider use; the capacity for absolute devotion and unfailing service to one person is now applicable to a social need; and we have about us in visible record the effect of all this potential motherhood upon society The educational, religions, charitable, philanthropic, reformatory and gene rally humanitarian work of this age, is largely done by single women. The women who are self-supporting are women oven moro useful to society at large. Much as we need the woman in times of suffering and disease, per sonally and socially, we need -her more ' in steady every-day contact. Neither sex does its best alone; each needs the influence of the other. To have all V the main industries of the world in male bands alone, and women growing i .more and more content to "be support ed," was a vast social evil.

It remained for the single woman, reluctant, afraid, utterly unconscious nf her noble mis sion, to creep slowly into the ranks of honorable social service.
