This certificate was awarded to my mother when she was in Grade Six. It’s hard to imagine Grade Six girls (because I’m sure that it was only girls) being taught baby-wrangling at school today. No doubt these 1930s girls would have been expected to help their mothers.
And her 77% result? Well, I guess that’s 3/4 of a baby. It was obviously enough.
