GIRLS *
is to lay this sad truth: "The girls have vices" {...} What are the best ways to avoid these vices? Rather simple indeed, and easy to practice by school teachers, who must contribute to education as much as to the instruction of children. The summarized as follows.
1 º. No distinction in favor of girls who wear to class or they are children of influential people. Make them understand that most precious finery of a child must be scrupulous cleanliness of his person, and order objects in use. Take your mind the belief that being distinguished only because they have an elegant suit, is rather an insult to them because they are valued only what it may cost the dress.
2 º. Make them understand that considerations that are saved, must be the result of their individual merits, his fine manners, his humility towards his superiors and applications and use. Force them to respect their peers for their achievements, and that, instead of envy, trying to imitate them, ignoring that they are rich or poor to praise its merits.
3 º. Advise and to require them in the hours that leave them free their homework, be devoted to learning each and every one of the chores, none of which see a degradation, but the fulfillment of an essential duty.
4 º. Not to consent to intimate friendship with companions, and severely punish violations and inconsistencies especially ridiculous jealousy so common among girls who call themselves friends.
5 º. Never leave alone in their leisure hours. Therein lies the greatest danger for those interesting beings so easily diverted from the straight path through indolence, carelessness or complacency of those who must watch them. Girls, when left free, they refer one to the other conversations heard, communicate doubts about this or that matter or spurs curiosity awakens their wickedness, and assumption of assumption, and speaking in conversation, come most of the sometimes tear the veil of innocence and even improper to wake up passions of his age and always highly detrimental to their physical and moral hygiene. Oh
teachers!: Penetraos While the important work entrusted to you, your influence on children should be effective to plant in their hearts the maxims of sound that you should give them moral example. You need to sacrifice and charity to fulfill your mission purge beautiful magnify the country teaching, and especially educating children.
