| Summary |
"The spiritual nurture and religious training of the world's childhood is vital to all we hold dear in our Christian civilization. In this work of child training, the home holds the strategic place. It has the children in its care in the early years before they are old enough to attend either the Public School or the Church School. The impressions of these years determine or modify the whole of the life that follows. Even later, the children spend many more hours in the home than they do in either the Church or Public School. The training of parents for the task of child training in the home, therefore, becomes one of the Church's greatest responsibilities. To perform this service effectively, every Sunday-school should have a parent training class and attempt to meet this responsibility in an organized way. Such a class greatly needs the help of a concise, practical text book. Indeed, without such a text book a parent training class is a most difficult class to hold. "Parenthood and Child Nurture" has been specially prepared for the Parent Training Class. Where the individual can find or form no group to join and gain the added benefit that comes from comparing notes, much good may be obtained from privately reading and following the advice contained in this book. Its scope includes the physical, mental, social and spiritual life of the child from birth to twelve years of age. It contains unusually helpful suggestions regarding songs, games, stories and other material suitable for the child. The collateral reading recommended would enable any parent or parent training class to build up a library on the training of children that would be of great value. We prophesy for this message a ministry of world-wide service in the work of training the young according to the spirit and teaching of the Master, who loved the children"--Introduction.
