NINTH GROUP OF LESSONS CLEANLINESS OUT OF DOORS SYLLABUS Cleanliness at picnics and excursions. Necessity for packing and carrying food so that it may not come in contact with dirt or be contaminated by flies. The avoidance of contaminated water. Disposal of litter. Cleanliness in camp. Cleanliness of food, water, bottles, latrines, clothing, bedding, etc. Burning of refuse. NOTES ON METHOD The topic of cleanliness out of doors may be made to cover an extraordinarily wide range. It provides material for discussion with very young children, and material for the consideration of senior pupils. The teacher may draw the attention of the children to the evidence which comes under their notice of the dirtiness of the atmosphere of towns. The whole question of the unsatisfactory methods we employ in burning coal is thus raised, and can be discussed in any way suited to the development of the pupils: if it can be made the subject of simple laboratory investigations, so much the better. The pupils may learn that in modern factories and offices precautions are taken to filter and wash the air before it is considered fit to breathe. Something can be said of the way in which the smoke in the atmosphere of large cities cuts off many of the rays from the sun which are necessary to health; so that the country holiday becomes a necessity for the city inhabitant. Something might be said, too, of proposals for burning coal outside the cities, 60
