AMERICAN MOTHERHOOD

is a magazine for mothers, edited by mothers. It is a magazine with a purpose and that is to give mothers practical help in the solution of the problems they meet each day. Nor is the magazine lacking in interest to others besides mothers. Fathers find it worthy of their attention; teachers find it full of helpful suggestions; workers in Mothers’ Clubs and similar organizations could hardly get along without it; even the children look for it eagerly because of the things that can be read aloud to them.

Young mothers with babies in their arms are not the only ones who need help and advice; older mothers whose children are in the kindergarten, the grade school or the high school, feel their responsibility weighing on them with even greater force.

SPECIAL FEATURES

It is surprising to learn how many fathers read this publication closely. The adolescent period is to many the most trying and puzzling period in their children’s lives. In this magazine they find that which enables than to understand the boys and girls who are passing through this time of storm and stress; so they are enabled to deal wisely with them, guiding than safely into a strong, noble maturity. The heart of the magazine is the Parents’ Problems department. Here is answered by the editor, and by a woman physician of splendid training and long experience, the questions submitted by the readers.

How to wean the baby; what kind of clothes to dress him in; what food the prospective mother should eat; how to teach children to be truthful; how to break a child of whining; how to keep the active boy from wrong-doing; how to overcome timidity; how to secure obedience; what to do with the boy who wants to smoke; these and hundreds of other questions are answered with great care and thought. Some of the best known educators of the day are contributors to the magazine. The articles are simple, practical and to the point, while the great aim of the magazine is to be helpful.
