WHY GIRLS MAKE POOR MOTHERS
A thousand women delegates to the conference of the National Council of Women at Leicester are to demand proper training in mothercraft for their daughters. They want educational authorities to make this subject a recognised one in the curriculum of schools for elder girls. [They will point out that in the days of large families the middleclass girl usually secured training in her own home. She had to help look after the younger children, and there was often a nurse in the household.
But now, many girls rarely see their own homes between breakfast and late at night. When they marry, they have no idea of the duties devolving on them. Yet they are not always able to employ a nursemaid for their babies.
