Education
-Parents have to do much less for their children today because their home has become much less of a workshop.
-Home has become much less of a workshop for clothes can be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked, canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the door step, meals can be had at the restaurant, the works’ canteen and the school dining-room.
-It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home.
-His children rarely see him at his place of work because he works out-side his home.
-When the young wage-earner earns good money, he acquires a feeling of economic independence.
-To have a working mother isn’t unusual in a child’s home life.
-Mother’s earnings and the older children drawing substantial wages makes father a seldom dominant figure nowadays.
-When mother works economic advantages accrue but the children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.
-My choice will be a home much less of a workshop. A home must be a place where I can take a rest. When a home becomes a workshop, a man has lost his home. Nowadays even modern hotels and business centres are created to offer the atmosphere and comforts of home.
-”Boys are seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation” says the writer. I think so. In the past the kinds of occupation were limited. Sons and grandsons inherited their fathers’. At present there are so many kinds of occupations to choose from.
-For extra income the practice of mothers going to work is desirable. Most families need more money to meet rising prices. On the other hand, children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they from school. The bond between mother and the children is love. Love decreases when they are away from each other. In the long run, children get love-lorn.
