1913 To aid working mothers Dr. Josephine Sara Baker formed the "Little Mother's League" which taught girls twelve to sixteen to care for their infant siblings while their parents worked. Dr. Baker became the first woman appointed as a health official for a major U. S. city (New York). The girls received better public health education at the time than many medical students. The course was twenty lessons long, including such things as milk preparation, disease prevention and observing a sick baby. By 1915 25,000 girls were enrolled. Photo by Jesse Tarbox Beals.
