APPENDIX III
The following circular letter was sent out in November, 1895, to the
members of the Civic Club of Philadelphia:
_The Committee on Household Economics to the Members of the
Civic Club_:
The following standards of work and wages are submitted by the
Committee on Household Economics to the members of the Civic
Club for their consideration, with a view to taking some action
on the subject during the next season.
If any amendments or additions suggest themselves to the
members of the Club, will they please note them in the blank
space left for that purpose, and send the paper to the Chairman
of the Household Economics at the address given below?
In case an applicant for service fails to come up to these
standards, the employer agrees to furnish instruction in the
points of failure, the employee agreeing to share half the
expense of such instruction by accepting a corresponding
reduction of weekly wages until skill is attained. It is
understood, of course, that the employer furnishes the proper
materials and utensils for the performance of the labor.
STANDARDS OF WORK AND WAGES IN HOUSEHOLD LABOR
COOKS AT $3.50 OR $4.00 PER WEEK
