The New Ideal of Motherhood

Those who are wont to criticise the in
difference of the rich mother who turns
her offspring over to the ministrations of
hirelings while she herself pursues her
butterfly course, doubtless have in mind
the shaving mother of the ma jority whose
life is one of self-effacement. This ser
vant-mOther type has been the prevalent
one for so many generations that it has
come to be considered as only right that
however husband and children may de-
velop and enjoy, she shall be always
found at hearthstOne-a tireless tender
First beguiled by fairy stories of the joys
of romantic love, and then disappointed
i'll the sentimental side of matrimony, she
turned with pathetic eagerness to her
children for that demonstratiye affection
she had been trained by convention
novels, poetry and plays to expect. With
the children, however, in most cases
came establishment. not so much the re-
suit of deliberate ingratitude or indiffer-
ence but because, as they grow in years,
studies, careers, marriage and other spe-
clal interests by the score took them
along their individual ways and left her
alone with her memories, and a heart
ache for the days when she could tuck
them in at night.
The modern mother realizing that she
has her own life to live as a human be-
ing, apart from her relation to her fam
ily is coming in larger numbers to ap-
preciate the limitations of the demands
she can justly make on her children.
She now perceives that it is her duty TO
continue self-culture and self develop
ment. and that this cannot best be at
tanned by continuing the seryant-m0ther
attitude that for centuries was the ideal
of motherhood She aims to be the com
panion of her husband and children and
to use whatever ability she possesses, or
can develop, for the higher purposes of
family life, leaving the lower offices,
wherever practicable to humber folk

things trained nurse-maids, nursery gov

the development of race of self-reliant
