The Child’s Day, by Woods Hutchinson. Boston: Houghton Mifflin. 1912.
This hygiene book is aimed at elementary school aged children. It has a lot of assumptions built into it,
Boys ought to wash their hair every week; and girls, every two weeks; and girls, especially, should be careful to dry their hair very thoroughly afterwards.
And some strangled sentence constructions:
Why ought children’s first teeth to be thoroughly brushed every day?
The illustrations are sometimes very bad (especially the photographs), but some are quite charming, such as the one I’m showing here.
