individual soiled dishes
with the right hand, never piling them.

7. Before dessert is served, if necessary, remove the crumbs from the
cloth with a brush, crumb knife, or napkin.

8. Tea or coffee may be poured at table or served from a side table by
the waitress.

NOTE.--Extra cutlery and napkins should be
conveniently placed on a side table, in case of
accident.

Where the class consists of twelve or more pupils, it must be divided
for the preparation and serving of a meal. Each section should prepare
and serve a meal for the others, until all have had experience. As
breakfast and luncheon are the simpler meals, they should be taken first
in the order of lessons. The duties of the cooking and serving should be
definitely settled, and each girl given entire responsibility for a
certain part of the work.

Those who are served should represent a family. Members should be chosen
to act as father, mother, lady guest, gentleman guest, and children of
varying ages, so that the duties and serving of each may be typified.

CHAPTER VIII

FORM IV: JUNIOR GRADE (Continued)

CARE OF THE HOUSE

The pupils of Form IV Junior should be urged to take entire care of
their own bed-rooms. The Household Management teacher can do much to
encourage them in this. She may include such work as part of the week's
practice.

The order of work should be discussed and planned by the pupils, the
teacher guiding the class by her questioning. In lessons of this kind,
the main work of the teacher is to ascertain what the pupil knows and to
systematize her knowledge.

A typewritten sheet of directions may be given each pupil to hang in her
room, and may serve as an incentive to her to perform the duties
outlined.

DIRECTIONS FOR THE DAILY CARE OF A BED-ROOM

1. Open the window, if it has been closed during dressing.

2. Throw the bed-clothing over the foot of the bed, using a chair to
hold it from the floor, or place it over two chairs near the window.

3. Put night clothing to air.

4. Put away any other clothing in drawers and closet.

5. Tidy and dust the top of the dressing-table.

6. Make the bed, after it has been aired at least half an hour.

Once a week the following work should be added:

1. The blankets and comforter should be hung outside to air.

2. The mattress should be turned, and fresh bed-linen placed on the bed.

3. The room should be thoroughly swept and dusted.
