APPENDIX I
SCHEDULE No. I.—EMPLOYERS
STATISTICS OF DOMESTIC SERVICE
The graduates of Vassar College, Classes of ’88 and ’89, desire to collect statistics in regard to the subject of domestic service, and ask your assistance.
The work has grown out of a belief that a knowledge of some of the actual conditions of such service, as viewed from the standpoint of both employer and employee, is essential to an intelligent discussion of this question. It is hoped to tabulate the results obtained, showing the average wages paid in each occupation, the length of time employed, etc. The statistics, to be of value, must represent the experiences of many housekeepers in many localities, and the co-operation of all who are interested in the subject is earnestly solicited. Three schedules are sent you upon which to supply information.
Schedule No. I.—For Employers (mistresses of households).
Schedule No. II.—For Employees (domestic servants of all kinds).
Schedule No. III.—For Educational Statistics (from teachers, etc., in the kinds of schools specified).
These schedules are sent to all housekeepers and their employees who can be communicated with by the members of the Classes of ’88 and ’89 and the Department of History.
