SIXTH GROUP OF LESSONS CLEANLINESS AND ANIMALS SYLLABUS Necessity for cleanliness of domestic animals, for our sake as well as their own. How to keep dogs and cats clean.

They will realise that the caged bird, the pig in the sty, or the rabbit in the tiny hutch have less opportunity to keep themselves clean than when they run wild. Cleanliness, then, may be presented to the children as something which the domestic animal wants, so that the child who really loves the animal comes to wish to let the animal have it, and to be willing to help him in every way to secure it.
