Note 138 — Chapter III
Henry P. (Henry Pomeroy) Horton translation
It is easy to understand how the occupation of domestic has a demoralizing influence. Not only do young girls, often ignorant and without education, come to live in surroundings of a sort to pervert them, but there is also their dependence upon people who only demand that their work shall be well done, the lack of civilizing influences, and the isolation that deprives them of contact with their fellows, all of which lowers their moral plane.138
