Charlotte Mason quote

"We are waking up to our duties and in proportion as mothers become more highly educated and efficient, they will doubtless feel the more strongly that the education of their children during the first six years of life is an undertaking hardly to be entrusted to any hands but their own. And they will take it up as their profession--that is, with the diligence, regularity, and punctuality which men bestow on their professional labours." p. 2 and 3 of Volume 1 of CM Series... from this blog http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/lklivingston/593286/
