Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Home Sphere of Child Life, Vol. 2 The aim and scope of this idea - The Home Sphere of Child Life - are beautifully interpreted by the cover pictures of the two books, the "Home Teacher" and "Child Activities," which complement our self-instructing equipment. These pictures "Father Time and the Child," and "Her Son," may well be studied side by side. The former projects the bequest that the Past has prepared for the child. Father Time bequeathes to the Child, the World - its noble deeds, the struggles of its races of men, the light and the progress gained since the break of the earliest day. This bequest is unlike money or titles to lands. It cannot be spent or squandered. It is a prize earned and cherished in honor as the mind grows into conquest of it. The fitness of representing this gift to the child, as being rendered in the name of a father, deserves remark, for it is the function of fatherhood to lead the child into his first world-experience and by the honor and useful service of his own work to bring to the home such protection, comfort and rewards as the highest type of family life requires. "Father Time and the Child" fixes the period at which the father´s fullest duty and influence begin, something like "Her Son" suggests the fullness and, as it were, the completion of the mother´s most beneficent service. For the part of a mother is a tragical one. As the boy-child enters young manhood - a little less so with the girl-child entering young womanhood - her service consists in making herself useless to the life which, in infinite patience and tenderest thought-through love, she has tried to shape and inspire with splendid incentive and high purpose to achieve. "Her Son" depicts the mother´s anxiety when the boy begins to assert the choices and responsibilities of an awakwening reason, to gain control of the powers of a completely functioned body and to respond to and interpret the demands and forces that nature and society set to play on the individual. The next great step in race culture may be in the direction of society determining who and what kind of child shall be born, for of all the social problems now being studied, whether commercial, educational, political or religious, our findings carry us back to a solution in the welfare and fitness of the individual child. The recent progress of scientific thought permits the affirmation of a few general propositions. First, an equal parental responsibility, for the character and soundness of the child begins in the uprightness and nobility of the full span of the father´s and mother´s lives. Second, there is in each child the potentiality to be at least anything and all those who gave him life were and are. Third, the consciousness of the infant may be conceived of as a clean sheet of paper upon which the parent begins to write. Of course paper may vary greatly in size but be it remembered that even the smallest sheet may take the finest truth that sparkles in the blue skies of literature. Fourth, there is a child´s world, totally different and distinct from that of the "grown-ups." It is largely in the discovery of this child-world and in the exploration of the mind and sphere of life of its little inhabitants that the mother is to find her joys and rewards in life. It is a strange world, this child-world, for we grow up out of it and are hardly more able to return to it in thought and feeling than we are in physical being and stature. How strange that it is really impossible to make intelligible the idea of what we all are or were - what it is to be a child. No mother can explain her own child´s love for her doll. As a boy the father made a horse of a broomstick. He remembers something of the fact but is unabl
