No two children are exactly alike; not even those of the same family with hereditary influences, environment, and economic conditions the same. Their temperaments, their ambitions, their ideas of life, it will be noted, are widely different. For committing a wrong act one child needs punishment, while on a like occasion another child needs advice. To bring up their children so that they will be vigorous, noble men and women is the most perplexing problem that confronts mothers and fathers to-day. Dr. Kerr, from his close association with children, is well qualified to enlighten parents on these difficulties. In this book he has given thorough treatment to the training of children, hygiene, physique, mentality, and morality. After one has read the book there seems to be no phase of the question that has not been covered. The young parent will find it a wonderful aid; the elder parents will want to pass it on to their children.

This new book consists of a dozen letters which deal in a fundamental and very original way with habits of posture, good and bad, and their influence upon the body; with efficiency through an understanding of the needs of the body in relation to foods, and the removal of waste; the care of the skin; and the offices of clothing.
Very simply and clearly the structure and functions of the nervous system are given as a basis for important suggestions regarding its care from infancy to womanhood. Explicit teaching is given regarding the care girls need to give themselves during high school and college years if they wish to keep as well and strong as they ought to be. The story of motherhood is told in a very interesting manner, and valuable advice is given regarding the physical preparation for it, which the author believes should begin in early girlhood.
