| | I’m rather amazed with the strict order imposed on a middle class housewife, as read in Catharine Beecher’s “System and Order”. Each day of the week is filled with a specific chore that is repeated the following week. It seems like such a lifestyle would become repetitious and mundane, yet Beecher refers to this “taste for regularity” as a “blessing”. How come?- Lisa Wilkerson | | I’m rather amazed with the strict order imposed on a middle class housewife, as read in Catharine Beecher’s “System and Order”.

| | In regards to Katie's comment, I think Mrs. Beecher gave money to the well off teacher because of personal bias. Mrs. Beecher could have favored one teacher over another. What I also want to know about that document is why did all these women go out West on the frontier to teach, if the conditons out there were so bad? Did these women go out West for adventure and not realize what life on the frontier was like? ~K.
