Book Description
Excerpt from Carontawan, 1936 Within this volume we celebrate the athlete, the scholar, the popular, the outstanding, the exotic children of this modern age and scroll their names immortally in ink on cherished pages, but we never think as we look at their names and pictures, of the persons who hatched these capti vating swans. It never occurs to us that it'is the mothers who never had much schooling themselves who keep the college going. As we look at the children we never bother to picture the everyday, commonplace mothers who, quietly and inconspicuously, go about their daily routine, pinching, scrimping, saving, wearing last year's hats and basement bar gains, spreading the butter a little thinner on the bread and buying stew meat instead of pot roast, so that J anie and Dick and Betty and Sam may have the advantages they themselves never had; determined that their children shall have the education that was denied them.
