A Mother's Educational Course
for Latter-day Saints
Newly Revised (2014)




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."
