Using Signs Instead of Nagging.

A mother who had grown weary
of the continuous repetition of in
structions hit upon the expedient of
employing signs. If the weather
was bad she did not say to each
child, ooh, why did you wear your
rubbers into the house and get mud
on the floor?" Instead she attached
a sign to the door which read "Chil-
dren will please leave the rubbers
In the vestibule" In the bedrooms
and bathrooms other necessary signs
were put, and as the children out
grew a sign it was removed. The
little folks were interested in the
signs and were spared the annoyance
of being "nagged. Good House
keeping.
