This article discusses various issues related to the conjugal condition, illiteracy and health of Negro domestics of the Seventh Ward of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The study of the conjugal condition of domestic servants seems to corroborate the opinion of those employers who found colored people "very much like other human beings." The illiteracy of Negro servants is about 2 per cent greater than that of the total Negro population of the Seventh Ward of Philadelphia. This is doubtless to be accounted for by the fact that 70 per cent of colored domestic servants are women, and the illiteracy of Colored women is uniformly greater than that of colored men. This will be seen by glancing at the per cent of illiteracy for colored men and women servants, 9.6 per cent as opposed to 24.8 per cent, and in the total population 14.2 per cent as opposed to 24.1 per cent. A comparison of the averages shows that the men in domestic service are somewhat less illiterate than the men in the whole population, while the women in domestic service appear to be slightly behind the women of the whole population. The article further focuses on health of Negro domestics.
