"The second part of the talk was on personal hygiene and
appearance. Advice was given on proper hair washing, and brushing,
proper teeth cleaning and care of the teeth. The lecturer
emphasised tidy, neat hair styles and that there was no excuse for
fancy ' perms' and nitty heads.
"Body cleanliness was next discussed, bathing, washing, and
the use of deodorants.
"Feet and shoes, and proper care of the feet was next demonstrated,
with care and detail. This information must have been
most valuable to the pupils.
"Clothes, what to wear, how to wear it, and how to take care
of it, was a very good talk in itself. The girls were advised how
to budget for a sensible and all-purpose wardrobe. Also advice was
given on how to dress correctly for interviews, and for different
jobs, yet be attractive and efficient.
"This was a most interesting and valuable talk, which should
be given to all senior girls. The lecturer was attractive in herself,
and impressed the girls, who were most appreciative of the talk.
It is to be hoped that the lecture becomes routine in all schools.
It might be worth considering talks on similar lines for certain
groups of boys leaving school."
