Twenty-Six Hours a Day (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Twenty-Six Hours a Day

Not so fast, my little mother. It is all true, every word of it, but let us see if it isn't possible to save a little time out of even these busy, weary ing days for something higher then mere physical needs.

In order to find out how to save it, let us see what we do with it. Suppose we sort over our work as we do our work-baskets, and see if we cannot make a little time by saving it.

The first and most important of our duties is the care of the Children, including, of course, their physical, moral, and intellectual training.

Excerpt from Twenty-Six Hours a Day

"Well," exclaims tired Mrs. Motherly, "if anybody needs twenty-six hours a day, I am sure I do, and ten days a week, into the bargain! The days are not half long enough; and when night comes, the thought of the things I ought to have done but couldn't, tires me more than all I have done. This very day, when I expected to do so much sewing, has slipped away, while I have trotted around after the children, washing faces, brushing tangled hair, putting on rubber boots and taking them off again in fifteen minutes, and picking up blocks and playthings, scarfs and mittens, over and over again.
