Mother’s Relation o the
Physical Development of Child
Since the foundation of the world
there have been good mothers and
thoughtless, frivolous, mothers, and so
it will be to the end.
My heartiest sympathies are with
every movement for the education of
mothers to the highest standard of‘
motherhood. I believe each individu-!
al woman has got to think and work';
sut for herself the great problem of
how to do her duty to her children.
The suggestions here will bring
forth good or bad fruit according to
the mother. Motherhood is a sacred
#nd B&uutiful relatiod exactly in pro
portion to the intelligence and com
mey sense which the individual moth
er puts into preparing her child to go]‘
forth into life to meet its obligations.
A mother should seek to well-equip
her children, morally and intellectual
ly and in every sense of the word, So
}the duty of the mother becomes, first
of all, in my judgment, the duty of
\thc organizer. I am not very good at
theories. I have usually been an ex
'ccedingly practical woman and have
never done anything well that had firs¢
to be spun out in the form of long,
drawn and high sounding theories.
The practical side of this question be
gins in so organizing the child physic
.ally that it may be able to meet the
trials of life and resist them.
" The first duty of the mother begins
THE LEADER-ENTERPRI SE AND PRESS, MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1916,
with developing the body with proper
rfeeding and proper caring for it, in
such a way that the child, as to its
Enerves, brains, tissues and blood shall
be supplied with vitality. Then the
mother has to care for it in other ways
so that the child may have such a
well provised and well balanced na
ture that it shall not come under temp
tation easily. This begins at home.
I do not believe we shall ever solve
the problem of how to organize our
children morally till we have learned
to be good cooks. Hurried and poor
ly cooked meals is responsible for
half of the dyspeptic stomachs in the
world for half the ill tempers and for
two-thirds of the family discord, di
vorces, and other things that follow
naturally. And so lam in favor, first,
and foremost of proper feeding—feea
ing men into heaven and children in
to' morality. For several years, the
men of different labor organizations
in different sections of the country,
have been studying the important
question of how to organize thier hod
ies properly to get rid of the appe
tite for stimulants. lam told that
in one place, where all the workmen
were engaged in building a ship that
they were very fond of their beer, go
ing out for it at noon every day, for
years past, but a splendid reform came
to them in a change of diet, to cereals,
whole wheat bread, vegetables, fruit,
with very little meat, so they no long
er want their beer. So there is an
idea, a vast field for the tmeperance
worker. The question has been asked
if men, many times, men who drink
socially, but never get intoxicated—
men who drink wine, without caring
much for it, yet at times drink too
much and men who are terribly ad
dicted »to the habit, “would you care
if you never saw wine again,” ‘and
there are so many answers, so much
testimony, to the effect that wine
means practically nothing to them,
that in most cases they would he glad
to be free of the terrible bond that en
slaves them.
When men are well fed from infancy
up there is little craving for stimulant
Thedesire for drink is often in pro
portion to the lack of nutriment in
food.
The first duty of reformers is to
teach mothers who have the care of
families how to make the dishes that
will nourish muscles, nerves, brains
aud tissues o: the body. This, I be
licve is the first great question with
which the mother has to deal. I do
not think that we parent-teachers
could take up a better study at first,
than how to prepare foods chemically
and become so expert that every dish
put upon the tamily table shall have
some definite purpose in supplying
rutritive food t: the bodies of children
to do away with inherent evil and
gross appetites. The very foundation
of every reform should be to send
scientific cooks to the lowest of clas
ses in our cities and towns, teaching
the women to predar: inex
pensive and nutritious foods. This is
the first practical work to do to im
prove public morals.
Again, mothers shouid study anat
omy, Why? Because if we do not
undlerstand anatomy we do not un
derstand the relationship of the va-.
rious parts of the body. Then, phy-l
siology must receive attention, so that
we may understand the harmonious}
workings of all the various parts of
the body. '
Then, sanitary science, hygiene and
prysical development follow naturally
—how to devlop children in every part
so that each part will be in harmony
with every part,
We can have a more reasonable
hope for vital, splendid manhood and
womanhood if we bring reasonable in- |
telligence to bear, not only upon pa
rental conditions, in order that child
ren may be well born, but from the
moment of their coming into life look
to proper feeding, nourishment and
development. There is no good rea
son why our nation should not be the
strongest the world has ever seen. I
believe the time will come when womp
will Le positively ashamed z 3 some ot
us are now, to call upon our friends'
re-tailing a long list of our physical
ailments,
I believe the time will come when
disobedience to God’s laws as shown '
in this wonderful and complicated hu
man structure will be considered a
greater crime than neglect of municip
al and other laws. |
It is the mother who has first and
foremost to see that her children are
properly organized While T have
great sympathy for all the problems
that face the woman of our country, I
am also in sympathy with downtrod
den man. I have come to think that
the average man is not half as bad,
as painted. LTS
In fact, it does seem to me that of
ten when women talk about men’s
habits the need to look at home.
~ Our boys are for years and years in
the hands of mothers. No amount of
‘women’s meeting together and patting
each other on the back, and saying,
l“oh if men would only behave,” is
t<ing to change facts. crrection be

gins at home.
I we begin by intelligent learning
Dow to eat and then deveion r-hysically
as we should develop, and dress prop
erly, there is no reason why we should
not eradicate the germs of evil. Dis
case is crime, every criminal should
be treated as a diseased person. I
do not believe in punishment, but in
correctio® See the stupidity of our
laws. We allow the diseased, criminal
and irresponsible classes among us tao
marry and propogate,
We say it is interferring with indi
vidual rights to deny them mearriage
and the privilege of bringing children
into the world. Every man and every
women in the country who wish mar
ry should be made to pass a phy
sical examination at ieast as thorough
as the one which the insurance com
panies demand for a five hundred dol
lar policy before license is granted,
There would be some common sense
in demanding that the man who is
going to marry should make at least
the guarantee afforded by health to
the state that his children will not
as criminals, idiots and irresponsibles
generally come upon the public for
support. All criminals should be
treated as diseased ‘persons. They
should be given the means for phy-}‘
sical cleanliness, development and}
proper food. I believe two-thirds of
the criminals could be fed into de
cency..
Our duty as mothers, is not to go
around with an electric search-light
seeking out the faults of others onlyl
to rail out at them and then havc,
them to take care of themselves, but
to search in a kindly, gentle, christian
spirit for the good in human nature
and then with tender, motherly mo
tives separate the wheat from the
chaff and seek to eradicate evil. )
The Mother’s Congress is differcntl
from the church in that it does not'
extend charity but helps people less
fortunate to help themselves, helps‘
them to become self-respecting and
self-helpful,
The women here today who are
anxious to do the best for their child
ren do not represent the people who
need the most help from Mother's
Congress.
There are people who do need such
help, and we should g 0 to them and
study them, and get hold of the best
means we can for helping those low-‘
ed down in the social strta than our
selves. Work must begin at the hot
tom.
We need not only to work in thc|
individual home with individual child
re but with all who are denied thc!
blessings of a serene, pure and help
ful influence and teaching. ‘
L bope that the practical means
which have been suggested—study of
sanitary science, physical develop
ment, proper dress and reorganization
of our daily bill of fare, will be among
the stduies this branch of the congress
will take up.
~ Scientific cooking, the chemistry of
foods, and a thorough understanding
im’ our splendidly organized hodies will
‘enable us to properly develop and con
'troltrol not only our own health and
morals and our children’s but to con-
Itrihute individually our quota by pr
cept and example to the moral eleva
tion of a common humanity.
