Excerpt from Report of the National Congress of Mothers: Held in the City of Washington, D. C., March 10-17, 1905 The report of the Ninth National Congress of Mothers is a not-able one, showing progress in the different lines of work for child and home. The character of the speakers on the programme, the con sideration of the varied subjects relating to the work for child hood by men and women of great influence in national and inter national government marks an epoch in the progress of the world. When the interests of the child and the home are receiving the serious thought of those who have the power to accomplish as well as to consider, there is reason for deep gratitude and for hope for the uplift of the citizenship of the nations. Never before in the world's history has the head of a great nation, the official ambassadors of other great nations, the heads of national depart ments of Government and leaders in educational research met with the mothers of the nation to view the conditions affecting homes and children. The department of the home is the greatest department in any nation. It is the nursery of the future citizen. Its influence and the ideals which are implanted there will affect the whole future of individuals and communities.
