1. Tell about your body.
2. Name the parts of the body. 3. Name the parts of the head, trunk, and limbs. * * * * * THE NOSE AND THE MOUTH. Be sure to keep your mouth closed when you are not talking or singing, especially when you are walking, running, or _asleep_. The two nostrils are outside doors, always open to admit the air, and inside of the upper part of the nose there are two other openings, through which it passes into the throat. Air which goes this way is warmed, cleansed, and moistened, but that which is breathed directly through the mouth is not so well prepared for its work in the lungs. Do not use your mouth as a box or a pin-cushion; the pin, or whatever yon have put into it, may slip into your throat and cause your death. * * * * * QUESTIONS ON THE INTRODUCTORY LESSONS. Of what is the body built?--"Of bones." What covers the bones?--"Flesh." What covers the flesh?--"Skin." |
