LESSON 4.
Purpose.—To show that cleanliness is one sign of good manners in school.
Method.—Item to be read with or without comment, or questions to be asked.
The Lesson.
Cleanliness of person and tidiness of dress are unmistakable signs of good breeding. The minutest detail of the toilet should be attended to. Frequent bathing and proper attentions to the hair, the teeth, the nails, are of no slight importance. The clothing also should be clean. Pupils who fail to observe these directions not only show lack of respect for themselves, but for their teachers and school-mates. Disrespect is impoliteness.
Questions. What opinion do you form of a person who is untidy?
What details of the toilet may be neglected?
How does slovenliness of dress affect the reputation of one who indulges in it?
Of what does untidiness show a lack?
