Abstract: The care of the children is the most important of the mother's duties. Usually the older children help with the care of the younger, but the final responsibility rests upon the mother. It would also be necessary to see that the foreign-speaking mothers were informed of the advantages of the playground and convinced of its safety for their children. The supervision of children's play in streets and vacant lots could be greatly extended. The problem of the immigrant parent with regard to the education of his child is more difficult because of the change in the position of the child in this country. The attention of the community is usually called to the difficulties of the foreign-born parents only when a complete breakdown occurs, resuiting in juvenile delinquency. The maintenance of parental authority seems to be tied up with the control of the child's earnings and the maintenance of certain conventions regarding the association between young people of different sexes.
