A Lesson on Order

A MOTHER who is pursuing the lessons in Early Education, of the Mothers’ Normal Department of the Fireside Correspondence School, has found one of the lessons very helpful in training her little boy in habits of order. She writes about her experience as follows:—

“This lesson, on order has been of great interest to me, because as a child I was taught very little, in that line, and what I did learn on the subject was through magazines. But I want our child to learn it while young, and I know that the right example is necessary.

“I have a box with shelves in it where he keeps his toys. When he is tired of playing, I take his hand and show him how to carry his toys to the box, and then walk to and from it with him until they are all put away.

“He has a regular time for meals and for going to bed. Every morning after washing his face, I give him a little toothbrush, and I have another. Then I wash his teeth; and when I finish, he tries to do it himself. This is about all I have done so far.”
