James L MarksThis work is a series of essays that appeared (or were intended to appear) in a small town bi-weekly newspaper from 1994-5 through around 1996. Most of these essays dealt with the rearing, encouraging, teaching, and disciplining of children. Also, thre are several pieces intended to advise the as yet unpartnered in the fine art of mate selection. The author envisions the prime target audience as late teens of both sexes who are in the "mate-search" mode, and young parents who are concerned with giving their pre-school a head start at life and learning.
