But I knew one mother who told me that she washed all her dishes over for a per- iod of time when she was teaching her little girl to do it rather than not let the little girl learn when she was willing. When we are busy we cannot be bothered trying to teach the children how to do things, but too many of u.i are inclined to use the term "busy" as an excuse. The reason so many girls grow up with so little knowledge of houeekeping and cooking is because their mothers would always rather do the work themselves than be bothered.

The sponges are brought up by divers, some of whom work naked, while others war diving coetume.
