MODERATION IN
MOTHERHOOD
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

The devoted mother of a son is
talking. After having outlined a
program Of great nobility and self
sacrifice, she has given up her social
affairs, her clubs, and will devote
herself exclusively to her boy.
I have brought him into the world;
am responsible for him and feel it
my duty to give him my entire at
tention until he is old enough to
leave home.
Theoretically this is a beautiful
sentiment; practically it will never
work.
Motherhood, being the highest call
ing on earth and involving the deep
est affections, must be practiced in
moderation and the woman who in
dulges her love too much will live
to regret it.
1t is true that many women ne
glect their children for club work
and social affairs, but the other ex-
both child and parent. For young
sters can become unspeakably bored
with too constant attention. Even
a mother can become tiresome, eSpec-
tally if she does not keep her mind
alert.
1t is a bad thing to have child
tied to his mothers apron strings,
but it is, far worse for a growing
boy to have mother fastened to
his coat-tails.
The woman who gives up every
thing for her children is sowing
seeds of sorrow. She will become
stupid through her immolation, she
will fail to keep up with things Of
interest and importance to her sons
and daughters, until finally she will
assume the role Of martyr, which
has killed more love than any other
one thing. And when the time comes
for the children to leave the home
nest she will be a broken-hearted
old woman.
The self-sacrificing mother Of song
and story may make a hit in fiction,
but the modern child needs some
body with lot more backbone. Our
children demand more than mere
hand service from their mothers.
They want some one of whom they
can be proud, who can go anywhere
with them and demand a share Of
attention, who can serve their minds
as well as their bodies.
The bitterest draught a mother
can drink is pressed to her lips when
she realizes that her child is
ashamed of her, and this potion is
always of her own mixing.
