It is of the utmost importance that the necessary organization of
school-room conduct be established according to principles and policies
that are useful to the child at home and in other situations outside of
school life. He must be taught how to economize his own time, and the
attention of his fellows, how to do necessary things in a way that shall
be both effective and unobtrusive.
While the handling of waste is a small affair for one room in a school,

is big enough to command the attention of every citizen; therefore, to
dispose of the matter properly in school is a valuable lesson in civics
and economics.
