ONE OF THEM
The thing wrong with this pic
ture. it seems TO me. Is the idea
that a woman can't find plenty of
self-expression in taking care of
her children.
Leaving some nurse maid-a
girl who does the best she can
but who, necessarily. is person
Of not too much education and
ability-to rear children while the
mother goes roaming out to some
office or shop to preen her ego
with the notion of self-expression
is nothing short of criminal.
There is no human being who
can teach and train and help
children to grow. as their own
mother can. providing she is
good mother.
And it is her duty to he a good
mother. 1t is up to her TO study
motherhood; to learn all she can
about woman's highest and most
important job-rearing children
and to put what she learns into
practice.
A woman not willing 10 do this
has no right to children and no
right to marry.
And the wife who refuses to
have children because she lives in
the city where space Is cramped
and living conditions difficult for
little ones, should move to the
country.
Which is the more pathetic and
tragic figure: the mother who
leaves her children to be brought
up by nurse maid, or the wife
who refuses to have children and
goes to work outside her home to
express herself?

comments the writer, many tooth

lower teeth with an upward
