The process of table setting should be demonstrated with the materials
at hand, and the work should be adapted to home conditions.
If there is no available table in the school-room, the desk tops may be
used for individual places.
Reasons for the arrangement of the table should be given--the
convenience of placing the knives and the spoons to the right, the forks
to the left, the cup and saucer and the tumbler to the right, the use of
the napkin, etc.
