The
Parents Review is a magazine that was sent to parents and teachers of
Charlotte Mason's schools and correspondence-type homeschools between
about 1890 and 1920 (?).
At
the end of the year, the magazines would be collected and bound into
one beautiful leather-bound volume. Pictured is the Volume for 1900. It
measures 6 x 8 1/2 inches and is about 2 inches thick. There are no
pictures. Each monthly issue was probably about the size of National
Geographic. There are over 800 pages of articles, and, at the back, a
section called "Aunt Mai's Budget," which appears to be a separate
collection of articles designed for (and sometimes by)
children. It may have been included every month at the back of the
regular PR monthly issues. Each issue includes some feature articles
and regular monthly articles on nature, health, Our Work , Books,
letters to the editor and PNEU Notes about news from various
districts. Often, an article would run in serial form, which is
why
some articles have a Part I, Part II, etc.
At
the beginning of each volume, instead of a table of contents, is an
index of articles in alphabetical order. For articles with a volume and
page number, those numbers are based on the volume for that year.
