About this book
A Treatise on Parents and Children is by Bernard Shaw. Its contents list headings such as The Child is Father to the Man, What is a Child, Small and Large Families, Children as Nuisances, School, Children's Rights and Duties, Should Children Earn their Living and Children's Happiness.
In one passage the author mentions the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the growing body of law meant to stop parents from using their children to make money for the household. Another passage says that in domestic life a great deal of service is done by children, girls acting as nursemaids and general servants and lads as errand boys, and that both boys and girls in the country do a share of farm labor. A further passage recalls Rousseau's saying that men are born free.
