HEALTH AND CLEANLINESS A TEXTBOOK FOR TEACHERS GENERAL INTRODUCTION THE compilation of a scheme of instruction for the use of teachers who wish to teach cleanliness to their pupils, and of a collection of hints as to how this scheme may most effectively be used, presents at the outset a number of difficulties, greater in the case of the latter than of the former. For while we are generally agreed about what all children should know and do in the matter of personal cleanliness, every school presents its own peculiar difficulties in respect of teaching and practising cleanliness. In spite of some improvements during recent years schools with no proper supply of washing water still exist, and, in these, attempts to encourage cleanliness can only be farcical. There are others in which the lavatories themselves are in greater need of cleansing than any pupil can possibly be; and numbers in which the needs of the children are only very inadequately met by the supply of soap and towels altogether insufficient for the number of pupils. On the other hand, there are schools which are models in these respects. Nevertheless, generally speaking, school lavatories tend to encourage habits which cannot be encouraged consistently with the teaching of cleanliness: the use of common towels and common soap, for example. It is sometimes possible, when a number of favourable factors co-operate, for children to keep their own towels, soapboxes, and combs in the school, but this happy state of things is the exception rather than the rule. It can be done, though apparently not always or even often. 9
