This undoubtedly affects the attractiveness of domestic service as a profession.

But the lower social position is in itself no explanation of the high rate of immorality.

At least there are no figures to prove that the rate of morality rises or falls with the social status of the individual.
In the contemplation of what is known as the "servant problem," I think we have been less scientific and more superficial than in any other social or industrial problem.

For the increasing dearth of domestic workers, for the lowered standard of efficiency, for the startling amount of immorality alleged to belong to the class, we have given every explanation except the right one.
At the bottom of the "servant problem" lies the fact that it exists in the privacy of the home.

Now, we have reached a point of social consciousness where we allow that it is right to intrude some homes and ask questions for the good of the community.
