Mrs. Dow's school did give courses which if passed took you into college; but I wasn't interested in college; I was about 17 and a ga half sic when I left Mrs. Dow's. The education in Germany was during the war and consisted of house keeping school didn't learn a thing and of German which I learned. I am not sorry I didn't go to college; I think I would have frittered away my time and probably flunked. I was not a good student for I was far too lazy."

1888157080New York: Bliss Publishing Co. 1888. 12mo pp. 1-9 10-348 flyleaves at front and rear original pictorial olive-green cloth front and spine panels stamped in black floral patterned endpapers. First edition. A sequel to John Hay's novel THE BREAD-WINNERS: A SOCIAL STUDY 1884 that uses some of the same characters from Hay's story. Barber promotes the cooperative movement which will convert the American industrial world into a Christian utopia. Barber "was religious sympathetic to labor and outraged by THE BREAD-WINNERS. She was heavily influenced by the social-gospel movement one of the most important religious movements appearing between the Civil War and World War I. Her novel like other social-gospel labor novel writers was infused with the principles of that movement -- especially that God is immanent in the world working out his purpose through individuals and institutions so adherence to Christian principles could bring harmony to worldly problems including conflict surrounding the labor problem." - Larry W. Isaac "Literary Activists and the Labor Problem" p. 35. THE BREAD-WINNERS elicited other responses most notably Henry Keenan's THE MONEY-MAKERS 1885. Blake The Strike in the American Novel p. 216.
