One hour will give you a knowledge of some good book, or wisely
spent, with a purpose of improving your health, it will make your
brain more efficient and add to the value of all future hours.
If you have a horse, a bicycle, a gun, you feel that because you
HAVE it you ought to USE it.
How much more should you feel that you ought to use your TIME, in
using which you use your own brain! Surely, your brain is more
important and more worthy of conscientious use than a bicycle or
a gun.
Talk to children on this question of time. Teach them that
respect for time means respect for their own lives and success in
life.
A MOTHER'S WORK AND HER HOPES
This editorial is not written for women. It is written for MEN,
and for boys; for the millions who fail to appreciate the work
that mothers do, for the millions that ignore the self-sacrifice
and devotion upon which society is based.
On a hot night, in the dusty streets of a dirty city, you see
hundreds of women sitting in the doorways, TAKING CARE OF BABIES.
In lonesome farm houses, far out on monotonous plains, with the
late sun setting on a long day of hard work, you find women,
cheerful and persevering, TAKING CARE OF BABIES.
In the middle of the night, in earliest morning, when MEN sleep,
all over the world, in ice huts North, in southern tents, in big
houses and in dingy tenements, you find women awake, cheerfully
and gladly TAKING CARE OF BABIES.
