I 'BRAIN TRUSF TO HANDLECH1LDREN IS LATEST MOVE ny Stephen McDonough Jr. NEW YORK m Wives of 10 Co lumbia university professors are en Joying more leisure because they put their headB together and adopted some of industry's efficiency rules. It all came about after thby had concluded, "Housekeeping has not kept pace with Industrial conditions," and' worked out a co-operatlvo plan to put their work In step. Mrs. Irvln Bussing, wife of a pro fessor of economics at the university, suggested the idea to President Nich olas Murray Butler and, when It was approved, found an Immediate recap tion among wives of the school's Ju nior officers. Move Into One Building So the 19 families moved Into. a re modeled building near the university and began an experiment which after a month was reported running smoothly. Deciding that child care was 'the moat wasteful of a mother's time, they devised a plan whereby one mother with the aid of a paid super visor, could take care of the 25 chil dren In the group. One apartment In the building was converted- into a nursery and play room for rainy days, and on the roof, six stories above 'the noise and dirt of the street, they built a sunny, airy playground surrounded by a high climb-proof fence. Tend Children In Turn Each, mother takes her turn for half a day each, week watching over the children with the aid of i the su pervisor. The children of pre-school age spend from 0 to 12 o'clock each morning and from 2 to 5 o'clock In Jhe afternoon playing together. The Idea 1b being extended, to In clude providing noon lunches and, at small additional expense, care of the children during the evening by a nurse. A laundry in the basement of the building Is being used co-operatively by tho entire group at a considerable saving, -' ; Eliminate I) n plication No effort is made to interfere with normal family relationships, Mrs. Bus sing declared. "The entire .project Is merely an effort to eliminate much of the sense less duplication of common tasks In the home and to enable wives and mothers who must operate on small budgefe to gain some leisure time and other advantages which arc or dinarily posslblo only In the home which, has several servants," she said.
