Celebrated for her pioneering work in nursery school education, Margaret McMillan (1860-1931) was also an active socialist campaigner. This work, first published in 1907, considers the vital role of the school doctor and argues that the practice of poor schoolchildren engaging in part-time labour is detrimental to their well-being.
