Men cannot bear the entire responsibility for the world. They must be assisted by .women, and the women should come forth willingly, prepared to take up their shdre of the burden of see ing that things go right with the world. At the Congress of Working Women we will discuss problems affecting women which we, as women workers, are particularly able to consider, that we may recommend^ow conditions of the labor of women and children can be improved.” , Teaching Illiterate*.
