The Problems OF

A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,

Making a Better World

What is the best education for
our children?
Doubtless the past twenty-five
years has seen more progress to-
ward the true answer to this age
old question than had the twenty
FIVE centuries before.
We are seeing something new
when children like school SO well
that they can hardly be kept
away from it; when they are more
interested than their own parents
in making themselves physically
fit; when they become the volun.
tary guardians of the public health
when they are learning to be gooc
citizens, not by memorizing ancient
history and civil government sc
much as by actually performing
the duties of good citizens in the
community; when they are giver
enough social life and group &C.
