A
Mother's Educational Course
for
Latter-day Saints
Revised (2012)
How
It Came About
After
reading the following Parent's Review article, in July 2004, members of
the LDS-CMers email
list were inspired to work together to come up with a similar
course
of study.
1897
Parent's Review Vol. VIII, No. 7: The
Mother's Educational Course
|
Purpose
This
course of study has been developed to help us become better persons,
mothers,
& home educators.
Charlotte
Mason said:
"It
is
our business to know all we can and to spend a part of our lives in
increasing
our knowledge of Nature and Art, of Literature and Man, of the Past and
the Present. That is one way in which we become greater persons,
and the more a person is, the better he will do whatever piece of
special
work falls to his share."
And
what greater work on earth is there, than that of a mother.

From
the Teachings of President John Taylor
"We are
here, as a people, ...not to imitate the world, unless it be in that
which
is good ... but that we may put ourselves in possession of every truth,
of every virtue, of every principle of intelligence known among men,
together
with those that God has revealed for our special guidance, and apply
them
to our everyday life, and thus educate ourselves and our children in
everything
that tends to exalt man. ... We should seek to know more about
ourselves
and our bodies, about what is most conducive to health and how to
preserve
health and how to avoid disease; and to know what to eat and what to
drink,
and what to abstain from taking into our systems. We should
become
acquainted with the physiology of the human system, and live in
accordance
with the laws that govern our bodies, that our days may be long in the
land which the Lord our God has given us. And in order to fully
comprehend
ourselves we must study from the best books, and also by faith.
And
then let education be fostered and encouraged in our midst."
