Authorities Discuss
The Working Mother
' Br LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Do work
ing mothers contribute to the
financial security of their fam
ilies and the economic health of
the nation? Or do they contrib
ute to the rising rate of juvenile
delinquency and the breakdown
of the American home?
These questions are causing
grave concern to religious lead
ers, educators, social scientists
and government officials, ft
United Press survey showed to
day. Two mothers out of every five
who have children undr 18 now
are holding jobs outside the
home. The number of working
mothers has increased nearly 30
per cent in the past 10 years, and
now stands at a record 6,500,000.
Ot these, 2,500,000 have children
under six years of age.
While authorities differ widely
in their opinions about the over
all impact on American life, all
agree that each working mother
must be judged as an individual.
Some women, they say, go to
work because they crave lux
uries which their husbands' pay
checks can't provide. Others be
come wage-earners by necessity.
About one-fifth are widowed and
divorced.
Some'flee the hard work and
heavy responsibility of full-time
homemaking for an easier job in
an air-conditioned office. Othera
a at trying sincerely to make the
best use of their time and talents
while their children are away at
school. Some working mothers
undoubtedly neglect their chil
dren. Others are extremely con
scientious parents.
Alarming Developments
Recognizing this wide range of
individual differences, some au
thorities nevertheless consider
the national trend as an alarm
ing development.
In a recent nationwide survey
of public school teachers by the
National Education association,
80 per cent listed "lack of paren
tal supervision due to mother
working" as a cause of student
behavior problems. One - third
called it an "important" factor.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
told the United Press -"parental
neglect" is a major cause of in
creasing juvenile crime. He said
it is likely to occur in three
types of homes those"broken
by death or divorce," those in
'hich parents are "too absorbed
in th?ir own social pursuits to
give essential guidance and af
fection to . their children," and
those in which "both parents are
working."
Msgr. Irving Deblanc, director
of the Family Life Bureau of
the National Catholic Welfare
Conference, said the increase in
the number of working mothers
is "clearly related" to a deterior
ation of moral and spiritual val
ues among large numbers of
American youth.
"Creating a good home and
giving children all of the love,
security and guidance they need
is a mother's first responsibili
ty," he said. "It is a job that
usually requires all of the time
and energy she has.
"A mother should have a very
grave reason for taking a job
something far more important
than buying a hew car or tele
vision set."
Psychological Strain
Dr. Eli Ginzberg, Columbia
University professor who direct
ed a recent study of women in
the nation's labor force for the
National Manpower Council, said
working mothers themselves are
exposed to "psychological
strains" that may have a ser
ious effect.
"They are likely to be espe
cially uneasy about the impact
of their working on the devel
opment of their children," he
said. The effort to perform ade
quately in their dual role may
cause conscientious women to
exceed "their emotional and
physical limits."
A strong defense of the work
ing mother came from Mrs. Alice
K. Leopold, director of the
Women's Bureau of the U. S.
Labor Department who happens
to be a working mother.
Mrs. Leopold, who says she
brought up two "non-delinquent"
sons, said it is "grossly
unfair to make employed wom
en the scapegoats for every so
cial ill of our day."
Juvenile delinquency, she
said, has "m any complex
j causes" and no one has produced
I any figures to show it to be more
prevalent among children of

' working mothers than ia other
families.
"Some women who don't work
are just as derelict in their pa
rental duty," she said. "Women
who spend their time playing
cards. And chasing around to
social and civic activities often
do less for their children than
the average working mother."
Middle Ground
Middle ground in the contro
versy was staked out by a lead
ing Protestant clergyman, tha
Rev. Dr. Richard Lents of In
dianapolis, Ind. Dr. Lents, e
Disciples of Christ minister who
formerly was head of the Fam
ily Life Bureau of the National
Council of Churches, told the
United Press it all depends on
the mother.
A woman who "puts her work
ahead of her responsibility as e
mother" and who is "not home
when her children return from
school," he saidH is "definitely
contributing' 'to juvenile delin
quency. "On the other hand, some
mothers contribute to the de
linquency of their, children by
staying at home. Many a child
learns to drink because he sees
his mother drinking at home.
"Holding a job has to be put
in the total context of a woman's
performance as a mother. A
great deal depends on whether
she is able to give her children
the sense of security and lova
they would get by having her
home all the time. '
"Some women I think a lot
of them are able to do that."
