An Educational Role
In this particular issue of the Woman’s Home Journal there were many articles published about education and literacy following the reforms brought about in 1936 by Rafael Palma, the first chairman of the National Council of Education. The magazine conveys a favorable stance in the Editor’s Note on Palma’s new educational system.
On the following pages the topic of education is discussed in various articles, each focusing on different aspects. For example, this article by Flora A. Ylagan highlights the fact that women’s organizations have long been promoting the education of adult women. Ylagan then goes to name a few of the projects which were developed for this purpose by The National Federation of Women’s Clubs.
Other articles in this issue concerning the topic of education are “Education for Public Opinion”, “Literacy in the Philippines” and “Education – It’s Worth”. Aside from these education-related articles, there are articles devoted to the home, marriage and health, pages containing commentary to women’s fashion and beauty, a section consisting of multiple cooking recipes and a couple of literary works, mostly short stories.
