After the publication of A Montessori Mother two years ago, Mrs. Fisher was overwhelmed with personal letters from all over the country asking special advice. Mothers and Children, running along its easy, half-humorous way, answers all these questions and gives the clue to the answer of ten thousand more.
“The Tarnishing Eye of Relations” is the title of one chapter. Some other chapters are “The Sliding Scale for Obedience”; “A New Profession for Women: Question Answerer”; “When I Am a Grandmother”; “Nurse or Mother”; “Mothers-by-Chance and Mothers-by-Choice.”
“A book of help for the most complicated and important enterprise in the world—the rearing of children. It gives the wisdom of an expert in the language of a friend ‘just talking.’”—New York Evening Post.

BOOKS ON AND OF SCHOOL PLAYS
By Constance D’Arcy Mackay
HOW TO PRODUCE CHILDREN’S PLAYS
The author is a recognized authority on the production of plays and pageants in the public schools, and combines enthusiastic sympathy with sound, practical instructions. She tells both how to inspire and care for the young actor, how to make costumes, properties, scenery, where to find designs for them, what music to use, etc., etc. She prefaces it all with an interesting historical sketch of the plays-for-children movement, includes elaborate detailed analyses of performances of Browning’s Pied Piper and Rosetti’s Pageant of the Months, and concludes with numerous valuable analytical lists of plays for various grades and occasions.
