Editing Dating Do's and Don'ts (section)

== Background ==
In this film, the boy is the sole initiator of any contact with the girl, and all arrangements are made under the warm supervision of the family, particularly a mother who is a matriarchal [[homemaker|housewife]].  This film, as many of the other educational shorts of the post World War II era, denotes the traditional socially conservative values that were common in the early to mid 20th century.<ref>[https://www.history.com/news/1949-dating-etiquette-school-health-film The Dos and Don’ts of 1940s Dating Etiquette|HISTORY]</ref>  His mother, as the film was released in the late 1940s,  was raised during the end of the [[Victorian Era]], in the 1910s or 1920s decade, supposing she is middle aged,   where the custom of "courtship" was commonplace and is new to the "dating" concept, but she accepted it.

The film is one of many [[public domain]] films in the [[Prelinger archives]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://archive.org/details/DatingDo1949|title=Dating: Do's and Don'ts|date=July 30, 1949|via=Internet Archive}}</ref>
