Labour and Childhood

Klappentext A 1907 exposition of the vital role of school doctors and the detrimental effects of part-time labour on underprivileged schoolchildren. Zusammenfassung Celebrated for her pioneering work in nursery school education, Margaret McMillan (1860–1931) was also an active socialist campaigner.
