Abstract

(1) THE author of “The Mothercraft Manual,”—who is a director of the School of Mothercraft in New York, complains that the word mothercraft is coming into general use, especially in England, in a much narrower sense than it was intended to bear. Certainly the aim of her book is a wide one. It is, briefly, to make available to “home-makers, present and prospective,” some of the wealth of knowledge gained by students of biology, hygiene, child-psychology, and other sciences by translating it into the language of everyday life.
