The Little Mother's Aid Society was created to help young girls who were primary caregivers to younger siblings. From one 1896 pamphlet: "Who are the Little Mothers" "The little girls who can have no share in the vacations provided by the Fresh Air Fund being constantly occupied with the care of their homes and the younger children while their mothers are at work. Heavily burdened and cheerless their lives know little of childhood's joys or the benefits of education. For the past five years the Little Mothers Aid Association has thrown some brightness into these grey lives by summer day outings and winter entertainments. Nearly eight thousand children have been taken from the crowded dingy tenements and given a day's happiness in the daisies fields and apple-laden orchards of Pelham Park." According to the organization's mission its members aim "to lighten the unusual and unrequited labors of these children and to promote the home comfort of their families." As part of the program adult "Chaperones" arranged "care of the babies and the homes by day" during outings as well as "suitable clothing" playtime in parks and twice weekly meals and baths for the girls. Little Mothers' Motto: "To do all the good I can To all the people I can In every way I can." The group mentions both recreational and education goals in their list of Methods: "Giving Summer Outing with abundant food a salt-water bath care-free play gifts of fruit and flowers to take home. Entertainments at Thanksgiving Christmas and Easter and Reunion for story-telling and song. The circulation of books and leaflets written for them: 'How to Keep Well' 'How to Behave' and 'Rules for the Care of Baby.'"

No copy could be found among Institutional or library Collections according to OCLC Worldcat. <br/><br/>Women's Academy and Seminary Archive recording the first important movement of women into higher education in the United States seminary was synonymous with "academy" and did not have the religious connotation of today. In the 1800's the Female Academy and Seminary Movement transformed American educational norms allowing women the opportunity to receive secular non-religious college-level education. Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up. This document dates from just 3 years after Seneca Falls. unknown books
