you help to make meal times pleasant? Make up a story

A PLEASANT EVENING

1. Just after a meal, what is your stomach doing? How can you help
your digestion? 2. Have you played any of the games mentioned here?
How did you play them? 3. Look at the picture on p. 165; why is this a
good after-supper corner? How do you sit and hold your book when you
read in the evening? 4. What parts of your body are you exercising and
taking care of when you read? Of what use is a healthy, vigorous body
without a healthy, vigorous mind? How can you keep your mind healthy?
How can you keep it vigorous? 5. What kind of books do you like best
to read? Tell the class the names of some good ones.

GOOD NIGHT

I. GETTING READY FOR BED. 1. At what hour do you go to bed? When do
you get up? How many hours' sleep does this give you? Is this enough?
Why do you need so much sleep? 2. As you undress, what do you do with
the clothes you take off? Why should you air your clothes every night?
How can you take an air bath? Is this as good as a wash? 3. How do you
care for your hair at night? 4. Do you ever go to bed without brushing
your teeth? If you do, what happens all night long to the food scraps
that were left around and between your teeth? As these scraps decay,
what harm do they do? What makes a tooth ache? 5. Draw a little
picture of your own teeth as you see them in a looking-glass. Are
there any spaces that you can see where food might lodge and stay? How
can you keep your teeth quite free from scraps of food? 6. Why are
teeth necessary? How must they grow to make good cutting tools? If
they are not straight or sound, what can you do about it? 7. Why ought
children's first teeth to be thoroughly brushed every day?

II. THE LAND OF NOD. 1. When you are ready for bed, how do you
fix your windows? Why is it even more necessary to have the air
blowing through the room at night than in the daytime? 2. How else is
your body being purified at night? Does your body do any work while
you are sleeping? What work? 3. What kind of sleep should you have if
you are perfectly well?
