Gillette News April 4, 1921 Campbell County Rockpile Museum, 900 W Second Street, Gillette, WY 82716 Email: [email protected] - www.rockpilemuseum.com Below are a few pieces of poetry that were popular recitation pieces for Mother’s day programs. Only One Mother By George Cooper Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky. Hundreds of shells on the shore together. Hundreds of birds that go singing by. Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather. Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn, Hundreds of bees to greet the clover. Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn. But only one mother the whole world over. Which Loved Best? by Joy Allison "I love you, Mother," said little John. Then forgetting his work, his cap went on. And he was off to the garden swing, Leaving his Mother the wood to bring. "I love you, Mother," said little Nell. "I love you more than tongue can tell." "Then she teased and pouted half the day, Till Mother rejoiced when she went to play. "I love you, Mother," said little Fan. "Today I’ll help you all I can." To the cradle then she did softly creep, And rocked the baby till it fell asleep. Then stepping softly, she took the broom, And swept the floor, and dusted the room. Busy and happy all day was she, Helpful and cheerful as child could be. "I love you, Mother," again they said. Three little children, going to bed. How do you think that Mother guessed Which of them really loved her best? Campbell County Rockpile Museum, 900 W Second Street, Gillette, WY 82716 Email: [email protected] - www.rockpilemuseum.com Somebody’s Mother By Mary Dow Brine, 1878 The woman was old and ragged and gray And bent with the chill of the winter's day. The street was wet with the recent snow, And the woman's feet were aged and slow. She stood at the crossing and waited long Alone, uncared for, amid the throng Of human beings who passed her by, Nor heeded the glance of her anxious eye. Down the street with laughter and shout. Glad in the freedom of "school let out," Came the boys like a flock of sheep, Hailing the snow piled white and deep. Past the woman so old and gray Hastened the children on their way, Nor offered a helping hand to her, So meek, so timid, afraid to stir, Lest the carriage wheels or the horses' feet Should crowd her down in the slippery street. At last came one of the merry troop, The gayest laddie of all the group; He paused beside her and whispered low, "I'll help you across if you wish to go." Her aged hand on his strong young arm She placed, and so, without hurt or harm, He guided her trembling feet along, Proud that his own were firm and strong. Then back again to his friends he went, His young heart happy and well content. "She's somebody's mother, boys, you know, For all she's aged and poor and slow; "And I hope some fellow will lend a hand To help my mother, you understand, If ever she's poor and old and gray, When her own dear boy is far away." And "somebody's mother" bowed low her head In her home that night, and the prayer she said Was, "God be kind to the noble boy Who is somebody's son and pride and joy."

    Son Preference or Son Pressure? Narratives of Fertility Decisions from Chinese Female Migrants Felicia Feng Tian Department of Sociology Duke University Danielle Kane Department of Sociology and Anthropology DePauw University Ke Liang Department of Sociology and Anthropology Baruch College, The City University of New York 2 ABSTRACT Though son preference has been identified as a major determinant for the imbalanced sex ratios at birth in China, Little about how son preference influences fertility decisions. Most studies either assume Chinese parents prefer sons as rational choices because of sons’ higher wage-earning or the ability to provide old-age support, or for cultural reasons such as lineage preservation and prosperity. By exploring narratives of fertility decisions for 42 Chinese female migrants, this article argues that son preference is not an individual choice per se, nor a joint decision by the couple, but a pressure descending from the upper generation of the husband's family, from mothers-in-law in particular. The results suggest the importance of an intergenerational perspective in exploring son preference in the Chinese context. 3 The sex ratios at birth in China, as defined by the number of boys over 100 girls, has skyrocketed since the 1980s. The officially reported sex ratios at birth have increased from 108.5 in 1982, to 113.8 in 1990, 119.9 in 2000, and 120.5 in 2005 (National Bureau of Statistics 2007). The actual ratio could be slightly lower, if one considers the underreporting of daughters in censuses (Goodkind 2004, 2011; Zeng et al 1993). However, China's sex ratios at birth fall far out of reach of the biological stable range between 104 and 106 (Dyson 2012).

    "teen mom" tv shows & stigma around young parents Creators of reality shows such as Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant say they are intended to prevent young pregnancy and parenting, but their greatest effect may be to increase stigma on pregnant and parenting youth.

Analyses of this media have found that the structure and content of the series minimize social inequities that often underlie young parenting. Some health promotion groups have partnered with such shows to try to provide health education to young viewers.

    Scottish Naming Customs Craig L. Foster AG® [email protected] Origins of Scottish Surnames Surnames are said to have begun to be used by Scottish nobility at the direction of King Malcolm Ceannmor in about 1061. William L. Kirk, Jr. “Introduction to the Derivation of Scottish Surnames,” Clan Macrae (1992), http://www.clanmacrae.ca/documents/names.htm “In some Highland areas, though, fixed surnames did not become the norm until the 18th century, and in parts of the Northern Isles until the 19th century.” “Surnames,” ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Types of Scottish Surnames Location-Based Surnames Some people were named for localities. For example, the surname “Murray from the lands of Moray, and Ogilvie, which, according to Black, derives from the barony of Ogilvie in the parish of Glamis, Angus. Tenants might in turn assume, or be given, the name of their landlord, despite having no kinship with him.” Sometimes surnames referred to a specific topographical feature of the landscape such as a river, a loch, a hill, etc. Some examples might include: Names that contain 'kirk' (as in Kirkland, or Selkirk) which means 'church' in Gaelic; 'Muir' or names that contain it (means 'moor' in Gaelic); A name which has 'Barr' in it (this means 'hilltop' in Gaelic). “Surnames,” ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Occupational Surnames A significant amount of surnames come from occupations. So a smith became known as Smith or Gow (Gaelic for smith), a tailor became Tailor/Taylor, a baker was Baxter, a weaver was Webster, etc. “Surnames,”ScotlandsPeople, https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/surnames Descriptive Surnames “Nicknames were 'descriptional' ie.
