The Moral Problem of the Children
"The Moral Problem of the Children." Third Edition. By Mrs. Woodallen Chapman. Cloth, 25 cents. The Mary Woodallen Fund Committee, 615 West 162d Street, New York City. This little book is the outgrowth of a lecture which Dr. Woodallen Chapman gave to mothers of public school children in New York. It was attended with beneficial results there, and now has the added matter of the outgrowth of experience. The mother, we are rightly told, is or should be the character former of her children, and this little book is written to help the mothers. Dr. Chapman points out the awful increase of vice, the fearful results of ignorance on the part of mothers, and the prime necessity of a mother's having and holding the confidence of her child regarding sex questions, and so becoming able to lead the child in the right paths. Every mother of growing children ought to read the book.
