America is a point re

by Professor Scott
Nearing, the Penn

when he points out
that by the nature of
her buying she deter
mines the nature of
the production of the

for immediate consumption; that the man
buys tools, machines and factories, while the
woman buys lace, bread and soap. Wisely
or foolishly it is woman who controls the
spending of the world’s wages.
It follows immediately upon this that
the art of spending money has become the
one in which it is most necessary for the
woman to be proficient. Among poorer
households this has been carried out to
a great extent, but those who work in the
tenement districts are well aware of the
absurd food bought by women with scarcely
enough to live on, food with little nourish
ment and a great deal of waste. Similarlv,

especially among American women of the
poorer class, it is not unusual to see money
spent for an ostrich feather which should
have been given to warm clothing. The
woman is not to blame as a wrongdoer,
even though she ruin the family thereby;
she is merely undertaking a profession for
which she is not trained.
Perhaps one of the most striking features
of this has been the “union label” question.
to a hair and studies to save half a cent a
pound; the woman, though spending is her
profession, has not even the remotest idea
how prices are fixed, and pays whatever may
be asked by the grocery store or other place
whereat she is accustomed to deal.
It is a matter of constant comment that
the foreigners who come to America amass
a larger amount of savings in a short time
than do American women whose husbands
are receiving the same wages. The excuse
advanced generally is that “we wouldn’t
live the way those foreigners do!” As
a matter of fact, the foreigner usually ap
pears to be as well clad and as well fed as
his American brother or sister, and has
as much fun out of life. The real difference
lies in the spending of money. The foreign
woman, having a much smaller income in
the old world, has learned in a hard market
the necessity of careful buying; she has
learned her profession as a money spender
in the school of experience, and she feeds
and clothes her family on one-third of what
is supposed necessary by an American home.
Amid the cry that is being raised for
further opportunities for women, it is sug
gested that this is a profession to which
almost every jtvoman is already admitted,
but she has not prepared herself for it and
takes no pride in doing it well. It is as
though a doctor entered his profession with-
out any medical training and practised as
though it were a matter of no importance !
whether his patients got ill or well. As
long as men earn the money and women
it, the financial condition of the !

The demand for it has spread, but it has not spend
spread as rapidly as the increase in the family will depend more upon the smallness
interests of labor, and keen judges of the of the amount spent than the greatness of
subject believe it to be because the women the amount earned. Where the man himself
of the country—who are the buyers—are
not greatly concerned therein. Whether
it is a wise or an unwise principle, it is
pointed out the issue can never be fairly
decided until woman understands the union
label and what it stands for and decides
what stand she will take as the money
spender of the country.
The advertising business is built up almost
solely on the realization that woman does
the buying and that she is readily moved
emotionally, and especially easily influenced
by an emotion that is often repeated. This
is more true of the city and town dweller
than of the farmer’s wife, but rural free
delivery and publications of vast circulation
are becoming effective there. The power
of advertising comes out in very direct
manner in a bargain sale, where the prospect
of lower prices attracts the bargain hunter
as a moth to a flame. Yet the bargain hunter
is almost invariably actuated by the best
motive—that of spending wisely the money
placed in her charge by a savage onslaught
on a bargain. She wants to spend prudently
and wisely, but she is untrained; she does
not know what real values are.
There is scarcely anything which more
spends selfishly—which is far more rare

than is thought—he is, of course, to that
extent responsible.
Women now are admitted to colleges
very widely and many arc members of clubs,
in which ways they learn to work in har
mony. Yet if they should learn to spend in
harmony, buying good instead of shoddy
material, good instead of merely spicy
or easily prepared food, how conditions
would change! Woman in America, under
the present conditions and at the present
time, has in her hands the power to control
production. To control it wisely is her
chief economic duty.
