Special Day for Mothers by Linda Quintana Motherhood is a job Some women are at it and some are is nol easy lo be a good mo ther For the good mother has to be an round good person all the time She has no lime off during which she can let down and indulge her human ings Whatever she does whatever she is comes back in direct effect upon her job Mothers have to be Good People if they wish to develop Good dren So says 1953 edi tion of The Mother's Encyclopedia in a menl entitled Mother's Job No doubt about it a job is endless and her responsibilities without number It is for that reason a special day was set aside each year lo honor all the mothers ol the world Credit or founding Mother's Day in the United Stales is ally accorded to Anna M Jarvis but some sort of vance of mothers con lo family life was held long before her birth in many parts of world In early En- gland Mother's Day was called Mothering and the slavs and people in some other have long observed ilar days The recorded suggestion that an an day be set aside to honor mothers was made by Julia Ward Howe in 1872 It was her idea lhat everyone ob serve a Mother's Day on June 2 as a dedication to peace For several years she held a yearly Day meeting in Boslon In 1887 Mary Towles Sasseen a Kentucky school teacher began holding Mother's Day celebrations in her com and in 1904 a campaign to make Mother's Day a national observance was ed by Frank E Hering ol South Bend Indiana The true mother of Mother's ever was Anna Jarvis who wholeheartedly set herself to task ol bringing national re cog toa day observing mothers A native of Grafton West Virginia she moved in 1904 to delphia Pennsylvania where her Mrs Anna Reeves Jarvis died on May 9 1905 On first anniversary of her mother's death Miss Jarvis held an in- memorial vice for her with a lew friends The following year a church service for Mrs Jarvis was held in Grafton As result ol her untiring delphia observed a Day on May 10 1908 Miss Jarvis then became a sort ol missionary tor idea writing literally thou sands of letters and in persons pleading for a regular observance of Mother's Day In 1913 Pennsylvania declared il a state noli day and lhat same year her efforts were finally rewarded when the US Congress recommended that the second Sunday in May be set aside as a national holiday ing mothers The first nationwide Day was proclaimed by President Woodrow son as May 9 1914 for Miss Jarvis efforts was of- made in 1912 when General Con ference of the Episcopal Church in Minneapolis Min introduced a resolution crediting her as founder ot Mo Day She is also given ere dil lor starting the cus torn of wearing bolic lowers on Day Children to day follow suit wearing a pink carnation if their mo ther is living a white one if she is deceased There is no other relation in world lhat gives a person so much power as thai of mother and child no relation in personal influence co nts or so much reads The Mother's Encyclopedia Mo is a continual ly creative process ex citing and dangerous and rewarding so il is No wonder Anna Jarvis ought so long and so hard a battle to bring to mothers every where the credit that is duo sible will be played
