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. After the pupils have had training in the care of their bed-rooms, this experience, together with their lessons in cleaning, should enable them to keep any of the other rooms in the house in good order. It should be pointed out that, in these days of sanitary building and furnishing, there is no necessity for the semi-annual "housecleaning" of former times. Each week the house can be thoroughly gone over, with the exception of laundering curtains and washing wood-work, and these duties might be taken in turn, a room at a time every week, so that the work will not accumulate. The class should be taught to consider the economy of time and energy and encouraged to provide themselves with all the latest aids they can afford. The cleaning methods which are necessary for this work and which have not been formally taught, should now be definitely outlined. These are the weekly sweeping, weekly dusting, and cleaning special metals. DIRECTIONS FOR WEEKLY SWEEPING 1. Dust and put away all small articles. 2. Lift the small rugs, sweep them on both sides, out-of-doors if possible, and leave them to air. Rugs too large to take out should be brushed and folded over to allow of sweeping the under side and wiping the floor beneath. 3. Cover the furniture with dust sheets. 4. Shut the doors and open a window.
