Some mothers, feeling sure the boy or girl as old as 7, 10 or 12 should be able to wash himself, in

school, try

Usually child's spirit is willing but his warh ing is weak, With some patient sug- Kestions and perseverance she may get the child to turn himself out fairly clean. But he soon may lapse his efforts, or his standards. in Shocked and vexed at his backslid- .41 Ing, the mother may angrily go the washing herself, rubbing a good deal more roughly than necessary,

Quietly inform him that he may not leave for school until he has passed your inspection, that he will have to go back and wash further if his face, ears and hands are not clean, Don't stand and watch him while he washes. Go about your work. Let him come to you for inspection. If he has

Better that he shall fall a bit beneath your stand- ard than that you should have Moisten the stains with water and wash him yourself.
