Book Description

Excerpt from The Child Housekeeper: Simple Lessons, With Songs, Stories, and Games This is emphatically a good and a great thing to do. Any one who can put poetry into dish-washing, and spring sunshine into the house-cleaning we men had learned to associate only with colds and with loose tacks and bad language, has given the world a real boost toward the better day. For when it comes to that, the best of that day will always be the home, as it is of this, and whoever helps make it better and brighter by putting cheer into the things which were slavery before, why, that one is a real Santa Claus of all the seasons.
