Excerpt from When Mother Lets Us Help: Many Practical Suggestions to Little Folk Who Want to Be Useful About the House With Several Important Rules in Rhyme

There are many children who want to help about the house but do not know how to begin. This book is meant for them.

A number of important duties have been purposely omitted from this book, as not suited to little folks; but even so a mother would do well to mark out such matters as she thinks unwise for her children to undertake until they are at least fifteen, - such as the care of lamps, lighting fires and washing windows.

Now just one word to the young folks themselves. It is better to be a happy home-keeper than a perfect housekeeper; and if you find that you cannot be bright and happy and at the same time have your house spotless and in applepie order, then let the housekeeping go, and attend to the more important matter of making your home cheery and contented.

The author hopes that this book may prove a foundation for much good housekeeping in the future.
