- Summary:
- There is a widespread desire on the part of parents to know the truths of life, and to be taught how to present them to their children. Teachers all over the continent are recognizing their professional and moral duty and responsibility to cooperate with parents in teaching high ideals and standards of womanhood and manhood. Social workers recognize that for a transitional period of two or three decades, the great truths of life must be taught in the schools. After many years of study and research, and in the light of many hundreds of personal histories, the author presents here the great truths of life in just the way we would present them to our own sons to guide them through the problems of boyhood, youth, manhood, husbandhood and fatherhood--in just the way we would present them to our own daughters to guide them through the problems of girlhood, maidenhood, womanhood, wifehood and motherhood.
