Proper Furniture
for the Children
Prepared by Childrenis Bureau. U. S.
Department Of Labor

Too many homes, even those where
there is no lack of means for the nee
assary margin CT choice, are furnished
without apparent regard for the needs
or rights of children, and in these it is
hardly possible for child to find q
place to play or use his own things
without having to be continually
warned against breaking or harmine
something. 1t is plainly not just to an!
child to surround him with furnishings
designed entirely to accommodate
growp-up people and ask him to re
spect them, unless there is somewhere
place in which he has equal rights
and where the gr0wn-ups must pay
equal respect to his possessions. Fol
this reason there should always be
some room. or at least q corner Of the
family living room, where the children
may keep their own things and use
them in comfort.
The ideal rooms for children contain
only such furniture ~ they nesd foa
comfort or convenience, and this VII
Be simple and eastly kept clean. Waah'
able painted wulls, bare hardwood q
psinted floors, simple cuftains and
painted furniture are suitable. II wan
paper 10 used 1t should be inexpensive,
20 thst It can be frequently renewed
All the holdings, door panels window
and door screens should be made viii
plGin painted surfaces 30 that they car
be readily cleaned.
Only the lightest curtains should BE-
need, and they should not cover the
windows, ave when necessary to shut
ont the hot sun. The chairs, tables,
beds. shelves, bookcases and all other
necessary articles OF furniture should
be small: and low, 20 that the children
may ind them comfortable and con.
venient. The continual effort to use
tahses and chairs which are too high,
to get things that are out Of reach,
and to be under the necessity Of trying
to adapt the strength, size and skill Of
children to the furniture Of grown per
sons results In no little irritation,
some Of which might be easily re-
lieved. The washbowl In the bathroom
u usually too high for . child to M
without getting his sleeves and the
front Of his clothing wet. A stool or
hassock, or even a low box on which
he may stand, will save much trouble.
After the baby's high chair has been
discarded the child should be provided
with a dining chair which is high
enough to bring his elbows about on a
level with the top Of the table. and he
should have q stool or footrest. An
