Possibly the first free thought guide to child rearing. A New York city psychiatrist, socialist, and rationalist, Liber was a Jewish immigrant from (I think) Rumania. His earliest publications in the 1910s were in Yiddish; from 1921 most of his writing was in English, beginning with this remarkable, though now completely forgotten, manual for rearing children. Liber advocates birth control, never punishing children, not enrolling them in organized religions, encouraging the questioning of beliefs and association with people of color, etc. His guide was translated into French, German, Romanian, Spanish, and Chinese. Chapter six (Advice and Discussion, pages 173-248) was added to this third edition. In it Liber both answers queries submitted by earlier readers of his book and reprints reviews with his response to them.
