When I asked them if they had tooth-brushes, one of the girls replied, pointing to a brush: "Yes, sir.

That is our brush.

We bought it together, yesterday." It did not take them long to learn a different lesson.
It has been interesting to note the effect that the use of the tooth-brush has had in bringing about a higher degree of civilization among the students.

With few exceptions, I have noticed that, if we can get a student to the point where, when the first or second tooth-brush disappears, he of his own motion buys another, I have not been disappointed in the future of that individual.

Absolute cleanliness of the body has been insisted upon from the first.
