2) CHILD CULTURE IN THE HOME. A Book For Mothers
Mosher, Martha B

Fleming Revell Co.: 1926 240 pages. 'The new educational method consists in a truer appreciation of the child nature-its longings and capabilities, and confers mentally and morally a more perfect observation, a nicer assimilation, a finer expression. The endeavor of this book is to select the most essential, vital questions pertaining to this progress, to urge the better way with an earnestness that will move some thoughtless mother, and to offer a few practical suggestions to some aspiring one. If it succeeds in the least degree, it is its own excuse for being; if it does not, it is a misjudgement. Some of the thoughts may not appear directly applicable to the child's education, but these indicate the line of his development. Parents must lead the child, but they cannot do so in advance of their own enlightenment and appreciation." . Hard Cover. Fine/No dust jacket present. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

The third part dealt with the extent of the awareness among the villagers of the different facilities and their attitudes towards certain programmes and practices.
