Of quotation came for momen:

YOU AND YOUR GIRL
AN ARTTCLE FOR PROGRESSIVE PARENTS

The quickest and best way to
inculcate a sense Of responsibility
in you thirteen-year-old girl is to
interest her in the household. A
regular program of domestice dis
cipline amounting to three or four
hours per day will do more for
her sanity and her character than
anything you can buy for money.
The price which your thirteen
year-old girl must pay for sterling
worth and a true consciousness OF
value to society is some kind OF
sacrifice of her own effort. To
learn to do common work is
fundamental for enc Of her age
and. for this there is no known
substitute.

Probably she has formed the
habit Of running to you with her
