RANDOLPH & COMPANY, 900 BROADWAY, COR. 20TH STREET, IT- A^' It gives me great pleasure to recommend the "Kitchen Garden " system to all interested in encouraging a taste for household work. It has lately beett embodied in a volume by Miss Emily Huntington. In this work the plan for teaching little children in large classes is fully explained. The system has been used with success in one of the Children's Aid Society Schools. Parents are grate- ful to find their little ones rendered so helpful by the information thus gained, and the numerous songs ana exercises are a source of never- failing delight to the chil- dren. It has been earnestly desired that the "Industrial School Lessons " used with so much satisfaction during the past winter, be republished for general use. These, in connection with the " Kitchen Garden^' will add interest to the labors, and enable those engaged in In- dustrial Schools to systematize their 7vork 7vith greater east and success. G. H. Dodge. New York, ) March 6, 1879. j (See Page opposite the Title.) COPYRIGHT, 1879, ^^' Anson D. F. Randolph & Co. TO THE LADIES OF NEW YORK. To a person accustomed from childhood to the conveniences of a New England kitchen, where the iron, tin, and wooden- ware have occu- pied the same places and been cleansed by the same methods for generations, the necessity of a book of this kind does not seem apparent. But my life, for the last year and a half, in the Wil- son Mission among the poor children of your tenement-houses, has awakened me to the need of teaching in the simplest form the names and uses of the most common articles in a family, and of laying down rules which, to the untrained and ignorant, cannot fail to be of service. Again and again I have been asked for copies of the same, and feeling that children of all grades should understand how work should be done, even if manual labor does not fall to their lot, I have allowed this little volume to be printed and circulated. Thus the first Industrial School of New York offers the first lessons, for little children, in prac- tical housekeeping, and thus the Wilson Mis- sion extends a helping hand to all fellow-work- ers in this great Metropolis. E. H. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. The "Little Housekeeper" having been re- ceived with favor, a new and improved edition is now issued. To it has been added a lesson for little nur- sery maids, also the " Wilson Industrial School Sewing Lessons " and '* Rules of Politeness," which, as leaflets, have been already widely circulated.

KIRKWOOD. ; WILSON INDTJSTRIAL SCHOOL, NEW YORK. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. The children who attend our Indus- trial schools belong to families in which, from lack of abilit}- or lack of time on the part of parents, there is little attention paid to training in the proprieties of civ- ilized life. The knowledge we attempt to com- municate must be of things which are most important, and which, in families of a more favored class, are attended to by the parents. Besides making reading practicable and interesting, the fundamental rules of arithmetic inteUigible, and writing legible, attention must be called to the more im- portant rules of health ; the duties that devolve upon those in charge of a house- hold ; how to sweep, dust, wash, and iron ; how to sew, to mend, to make beds, to take care of little ones. In a word, how best to secure our own well- being, and that of those dependent upon us. (29) 30 Industrial Schools. As the hope of the future depends upon the training of the moral nature of the children, it seems desirable that our schools should give a portion of time to Bibhcal instruction. True, most of them attend Sunday-school, but in the absence of any home help, its weekly hour of study is but a slight breakwater against the tide of evil to which they are con- stantly exposed. The children come to school irregular- ly, and only during a small portion of the first few years. These lessons must be taught in a graphic and impressive man- ner. After an idea has been made clear by oral instruction, question, and illustration, if it can be formulated into simple rule and memorized at once, there is hope that it may be ingrained into the nature of the child, and bring forth fruit when the rule and the occasion of its having been learned is long forgotten. Ideas must be put into words, or they will make upon the minds of little chil- dren no lasting impression ; words must Industrial Schools. 31 embody clear and definite ideas, or they will be as idle as the chattering of a par- rot. The simple lessons which follow, may seem meager, but there is sufficient to memorize, and they can easily be elabo- rated in teaching. They are the result of experience. Many plans were thought of, tried, adopt- ed, and abandoned, before we were able to bring into satisfactory shape the lessons we found to be needful. To save type and space, questions are for the most part omitted. They can be easily framed, or a key-word given by the teacher. Industrial schools that meet but once a week have but a short time in which to accomplish all that is desirable ; but it children are stimulated to prepare some- thing definite for a concert exercise, at the opening or closing of school, a good many ideas may be lodged during a season. The good marks by which children are allowed to purchase their clothing arc quite an incentive to study. They will 32 Industrial Schools. cheerfully add to their list of lessons to increase the number of marks. We once found a little girl who could scarcely read, toiling through the book of Esther, because it was to be counted for the older pupils as an extra lesson on Friday, if read through during the week. These lessons have been used success- fully as a general exercise for about fif- teen minutes each day. The Bible Lessons, in connection with reading and questions upon different por- tions, every day ; the others successively every week, as follows : Monday — Rules of Health. Tuesday — Rules of Politeness. Wednesday — Rules of Housekeeping. Thursday — Rules for Nursery Maids. Friday — Rules for Sewing. As we all require " line upon line, and precept upon precept," once every week is not too often to bring up these subjects. New thoughts will gradually, both in the children's minds and that of the teacher, arrange themselves around these system- atized and memorized first principles. Industrial Schools. 33 But in the " pouring in " we must not neglect the all-important *^ drawing-out process," which furnishes the only evi- dence that ideas have found footing in the mind. A. W. K.

THE OLD TESTAMENT. 1. The first five books of the Old Testament were written by Moses, at the command of God. 2. Genesis tells how God made the world ; about the flood, the call of Abraham, and the history of Joseph in Egypt. 3. Exodus tells about the trials of the children of Israel in Egypt, their deliverance by the hand of Moses, and the giving of the Law. 4. Leviticus and Numbers tell about the wander- ings of Israel in the wilderness. God would not let them go into the promised land because of their sins. 5. Deuteronomy means Second Law. It is so called because in it Moses repeats to the people God's law given on Mount Sinai forty years before. 6. Joshua was written by the brave general who, at the death of Moses, led the children of Israel across the river Jordan into Canaan. 7. Judges gives the history of Israel under the Judges v^ho ruled Israel during 450 years after the death of Joshua. 8. Ruth tells the story of a woman of Moab, who left her home and friends to serve the God of Israel. (35) 36 Simple Notes on Bible Books. 9. 1st Kings tells about the reign of Solomon, the building of the Temple, and the division of the kingdom into Judah and Israel. 10. 2d Kings tells about Elijah, who was carried up to heaven in a chariot of fire, and about the beginning of the captivity of Israel in Babylon. 11. 1st and 2d Chronicles review the history of Judah and Israel. 12. Ezra and Nehemiah tell about the building of the second temple and the return from the cap- tivity. 13. Esther is a little story in the history of the Jews while they were in captivity. 14. Job, the oldest book in the Bible, was written before Moses lived. 15. Daniel was a captive Jew, who served Gcd faith- fully in the court of the heathen king of Baby- lon. He was cast into the den of lions because he prayed to the true God. 16. Jonah was a prophet, who refused to obey God and was swallowed by a whale, which after three days threw him upon the shore. Jonah then obeyed God's command. 17. Malachi was writtfen about 400 years before Christ came. THE NEW TESTAMENT. I. The New Testament contains twenty-seven books. The first four are called Gospels, which Simple Notes on Bible Books, 37 means good news. They give the history of the birth, life, sufferings, death, burial, and resurrec- tion of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2. Acts gives an account of the work of the disci- ples after Jesus went up into heaven, and the founding of the Church of Christ. 3. The twenty-one epistles or letters were written to the Christians in the different countries near Palestine, to train them in the faith of the Lord Jesus and to build up the Christian Church. 4. The 27th book of the New Testament is a reve- lation of things to come. 5. Fourteen books, from Romans to Hebrews, were written by Paul. 6. Romans was written to the Christians at Rome, in Italy. 7. Corinthians was written to the Christians at Corinth, in Greece. Corinth was a beautiful city, containing many temples built of marble, but the people did not know the true God. 8. Galatians was written to the Christians at Gal- atia, in Asia. 9. Ephesians was written to the Church at Ephe- sus, which was a beautiful city in Asia, but the people worshiped idols. 10. Philippians was written to the people of Philippi, north of Greece. 11. Colossians was written to the people of Colosse, in Asia. 38 Simple Notes on Bible Books. 12. Thessalonians was written to the people in Thessalonica, north of Greece. 13. 1st Timothy was written to a young man named Timothy, whose grandmother taught him the Scriptures while he was a Httle boy. 14. 2d Timothy was written to the same man while Paul was in prison at Rome. 15. Titus was written to a minister who preached to the people in Crete. Paul told Titus to rebuke them sharply for their wickedness. 16. Philemon was written to a rich man whose slave, Onesimus, ran away. The slave heard Paul preach and became a Christian. He was then willing to go back to his master. Paul gave him a kind letter asking Philemon to receive him as a brother. 17. Hebrews was written to the Jews to prove that Jesus was the Christ who should come. 18. James was written by the disciple James to the " twelve tribes scattered abroad." 19. 1st and 2d Peter were written to all Christians, and are called the epistles general of Peter. 20. The three epistles of John were written when the disciples were very old. His last message was, " Little children, love one another." 21. Jude was written by Jude to all Christians to warn them against the temptations of the wicked. 22. Revelation is the last book in the New Testa- Lord's Prayer Lesson. 39 ment, and tells about the Judgment Day, the punishment of the wicked, and the safety of the righteous in the heavenly city, the New Jeru- salem. LORD'S PRAYER LESSON. The Lord's prayer teaches us what we must de- sire or wish for. Jesus teaches us to call God our Father, because He made us, takes care of us, and we are all His children. When we say, " Hallowed be Thy name," we try to tell God how much we love and worship Him. When we say, " Thy kingdom come," we pray that everybody may love and obey God as the angels do. When we say, "Thy will be done," we mean that God's will is best, and that we will cheerfully bear all the trouble and do all the work our Heavenly Father sends us. When we pray, "Give us this day our daily bread," we mean that everything comes from God, and that we must ask Him every day«for what we need. When we pray, " Forgive us our debts as we for- give our debtors," we ask God to treat us just as we treat others, and to help us to treat others as we would wish him to treat us. When we say, " Lead us not into temptation," 40 Christian Graces. we ask God to make it easy for us to do right, and not let Satan tempt us. When we say, " Deliver us from evil," we ask God to keep us from sin and everything that can harm us. When we say, "Thine is the kingdom," we mean that Jesus only is our King though every one else should refuse to serve Him. When we say, " Thine is the power," we mean that God is able to do all that we have asked Him to do. When we say, " Thine is the glory," we mean that when our prayers are answered we will not take any credit to ourselves, but give it all to the great and good God. " Forever and ever " means that we hope never to stop praising and blessing God. " Amen," is the same as saying, " Lord, hear our prayer," and so praying it over in a single word. CHRISTIAN GRACES.

RULES FOR TAKING CARE OF THE BODY. 1. " Be clean " in person, in clothes, in houses, in food, and in the air which you breathe. 2. We throw off through the little holes in the skin the poison and waste matter of our bodies. The skin can be kept clean and healthful only by washing every portion of the body once every day. 3. Under-clothes should be taken off and turned on the wrong side every night, so that the waste matter from the body which is in them, may escape, and that they may be well aired before they are again put on. 4. We must be clean in our houses, because fevers and other diseases spread from dirty and ill-kept houses. 5. Eat plain, healthy food ; avoid tea, coffee, and cakes. Eat regularly and slowly. The best kinds of food are milk, oatmeal, Indian meal, hominy, bread, meat, vegetables, and fruits. 6. Every pair of lungs needs two barrels of pure air every hour to keep the blood in good condition. The purest air, when it has been once breathed, is poisonous and not fit to breathe over again. Bad or dirty air is the most frequent cause of disease. 7. We must not use the eyes when they feel pained or tired, and avoid sudden changes from darkness to light. 8. We must not use a pin, or other hard sub- stance, to clean the ear. (44) Rules for Taking Care of the Body. 45 9. The teeth should be well cleaned after every meal. 10. Take at least two hours exercise in the open air every day. The variety of exercise which is found in house-work will give to girls the best de- velopment of body. 11. Never wear tight clothing round the waist. Change the position often when sewing or studying, that the spine may not be bent out of its proper shape. EXERCISE LESSON FOR LITTLE CHILDREN. 12. My body is built of blood, flesh, skin, and bones. The blue marks under the skin are called veins. They hold the bad blood. The bad blood flows to the heart ; the heart sends it to the lungs, where it is made good again by the air which we breathe through the nose and mouth. The parts of my body are the back of my head, the front of my head, forehead, temples, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, chest, sides, back, arms, hands, knees, and feet. Do people die suddenly by neglecting God's laws of health ? They do not, but the constitution becomes weak- ened, and liable to cold, fevers, and other diseases. They drag out slowly a miserable existence, losing all the comfort and enjoyment of a healthy, happy life. 46 \Vclco7ne. What is said in the law of God given by Moses to the children of Israel, about attention to health and cleanliness ? If ye hearken to these judgments and keep and do them, thou shalt be blessed above all people, and the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases which thou know- est upon thee. — Deut. vii. 12. WELCOME. Welcome to friends who have gathered to-day. Welcome as flowers to the beautiful May ; Welcome as springs in the desert afar, Welcome to us as the night's early star. Chorus : Glad be our voices as birds of the spring : Light be our hearts while our welcome we sing. Loved ones and dear ones are round us to-day ; Flowers of affection they strew in our way, Welcome, welcome, welcome friends. Welcome our teachers so loving and true, Welcome each morn may we fondly renew ; Welcome, and wishes of kindness to all, Welcomes of love from our lips sweetly fall. S. T. S.

Chorus : Put away the needle and thread, Go without supper to bed, Oh, lazy Jane, how can you ever learn? While you idle and trifle so. Her clothes are all hanging in tatters and rags. Her dress, oh, it is not very clean ; The buttons are all off her cloak and her shoes ; Her sacque isn't fit to be seen. Chorus. Her hair is uncombed from morning till night ; Her apron is hanging in rags ; Her face and her hands for dirt are a sight. Her hood all in tatters and tags. Chorus. G. B.

" In silence I must take my seat And give God thanks before I eat ; Must for my food in patience wait Till I am asked to hand my plate ; I must not scold, nor whine, nor pout. Nor move my chair or plate about ; With knife or fork or napkin-ring I must not play, nor must I sing ; I must not speak a useless word, For children must be seen, not heard ; I must not talk about my food. Nor fret if I don't think it good ; I must not say • The bread is old,' • The tea is hot,' ' The coffee's cold ; ' :|| Things that are Lovely. I must not cry for this or that, Nor murmur if my meat is fat ; My mouth with food I must not crowd, Nor while I'm eating speak aloud ; Must turn my head to cough or sneeze ; And when I ask, say ' If you please ; ' The table-cloth I must not spoil, Nor with my food my fingers soil ; Must keep my seat when I have done. Nor round the table sport or run ; When told to rise, then I must put My chair away with noiseless foot. And lift my heart to God above* " In praise for all His wondrous love." Knives we may use, our food to cut, But to our lips we must not put. Only rude girls, and ill-bred boys. In eating food will make a noise. Obey these rules and you will be Fit for the best of company. THINGS THAT ARE LOVELY. BY A. W, K. ^;V— "Blue Juniata." " Whatsoever things are lovely, think on these things."— Phil. iv. Beautiful faces are lovely and winning, But gentle manners are to all inore charming. 6 School-Room Rules. Trained hands and feet and hearts, Wisdom's way treading, Through all life's rugged path Smiles and kind words spreading. Choosing with ready mind, things that are lovely, We strive each day to be gentle and lowly. Smooth, shining hair always. Teeth bright and pearly. Nails brushed as white as snow, Each morning early. Clothed with the ornament of a meek spirit, If vexing trial comes, cheerfully bear it. So shall we daily gain Wisdom and favor, While we thus glorify Our blessed Saviour. With promptness I must take my seat, And come with dress and person neat ; No idle talk, or jest, or play. When God's good Book we read and pray ; We must not speak unless we ask Permission, or about our task. When once within our class we come, We must not leave till all is done ; All due respect to teachers pay, And all the rules we must obey. School-Room Rules, Whatever work we have to do, We'll patience use, nor hurry through ; If at first we don't succeed, We'll try again, for there is need That we should learn to do things well ; To stitch, to hem, to run, to fell, Or whatever else is right to know, We'll persevere, and learn to sew ; Our lessons, too, we must recite, For they will help us to do right ; Whatever from the desk is said We'll heed and listen to what is read. Our hymns we'll sing with earnest zest, And always try to do our best. And when 'tis time to close the school, We'll not forget the important rule : That all our work must folded be, And put away before we're free ; Remember, quietness must rezgn. And perfect order, just the same. S. T. S. RULES FOR SEWING PREPARED FOR THE WILSON INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. BY ANNA M. KIREWOOD, Principal of the School. Needle's Motto.
