A glass potty in the cot, infant care, 1937

Seen from above, the teacher lifts the dressed doll over the rail of the cot and sits it on a glass bowl in the corner, holding it upright by the arms while the women in white coats bend over to watch. Early toilet training, begun in the first months, was the doctrine of the child-care manuals of the time, above all of Johanna Haarer's bestseller of 1934, which taught mothers to follow a strict timetable.
