"We find it necessary to make a rule," said Miss Addams, "that children be taken only when it is necessary for the mother to work. In the case of widows or permanently deserted women there is no doubt about the matter. If the father is sick it is also right to care for the children. But too often we are asked to care for children whose fathers should be able to support them, but who are willing to break up home life and let their wives go out to work in order to make it easier for themselves."
