From Mrs. Croly's Letter to Mrs. Burns, Relative to the Proposed Industrial School for Girls 222 WEST 23RD STREET, Feb. 28, 1900. My dear Mrs. Burns: There is only one point that I would have emphasized, and that I do not find included in your otherwise excellent statement. It is the moral influence of a training for self-support.
NO LONGER MARRY FOR SUPPORT. The time has changed and women have changed with it. They have grown more sensible, more independent in disposition as well as circumstances. They no longer marry for support; they have proved their capacity to support themselves, and self-support has developed them in every way.
Of the malice, which generally accompanies a superfluity of sensitiveness, Ilbrahim was altogether destitute: when trodden upon, he would not turn; when wounded, he could but die. His mind was wanting in the stamina for self-support; it was a plant that would twine beautifully round something stronger than itself, but if repulsed, or torn away, it had no choice but to wither on the ground.
Ernestine, if less confident, had sufficient self-reliance not to worry about the future. Thanks to her eighteen years of successful self-support, she knew that she could meet life anywhere any time, and get the best of it. From the very next day there began for Milly the most active and the happiest period of her existence.

She was humiliated at his borrowing for his self-support, and could not see much glory in his creed: "He who helps me only helps my art through me, and the sacred cause for which I am fighting."
It is not strange that many women prefer the comfort and relief of an apartment or hotel, that many more hesitate to assume the responsibility of marriage and children, preferring to undertake their own self-support, and that not a few seek divorce. 75. =Family Desertion.= While the burden of housekeeping rests upon the wife, there are corresponding weights and annoyances that fall upon the man.
It has long been a common error for the charity visitor, who is strongly urging her "family" toward self-support, to suggest, or at least connive, that the children be put to work early, although she has not the excuse that the parents have.
In the same way, respecting all our work, The General has always urged the importance of applying, as far as possible, our general rule of self-support; for though the people may have very little to give, the very least they can do helps to protect us from the prejudice created by the term "rice Christians," applied to those who are believed to have made professions of Christianity for the sake of the food they hope to receive.
But he would at least be doing something towards solving the problem of self-support, and towards increasing the measure of his own self-respect. "What had you planned?" the Major was asking. "Well of course there is the law And I like it, but there would be a year or two before I could earn a living And I've wanted to write " "Write what?
