 THE AUTHOR 
 
ALL THROUGH THE DAY 
 THE MOTHER GOOSE WAY 
 
 This book is an effort to give in an incidental way, 
 adapted to young children, the most important prin- 
 ciples of healthy living. The child needs to form a 
 number of good health habits very early in life. We 
 cannot wait until he can be persuaded by the usual 
 type of text book explanations. He must be ' ' caught 
 earlier " than that. The Old Mother Goose favorites 
 unspoiled by additions or changes and the adapt- 
 able " movie-man " and " zookie " figures make a 
 suitable introduction for the younger children. 
 
 Little reference is made in the text itself to habit 
 formation. It is neither advisable nor fair to put 
 upon the child the burden of habit formation as such. 
 
 Devices have been included by which the child 
 is given something to do in a constructive and 
 interesting way so that certain desirable habits may 
 be established unconsciously through such proj- 
 ect methods.

" Jump over the candlestick " sounds easy, but 
 this is a big candle half as high as Jack. Can you 
 jump that high'? 
 
 What else can you do to keep yourself nimble 
 and quick ? Most outdoor games are good, and some 
 kinds of work, like running errands and working 
 in the garden, are very good exercises, too. 
 
 Exercise every day but don't get too tired. If 
 you run too long or too fast your heart has to work 
 too hard. If you lift things that are too heavy, you 
 may hurt your back. 
 
r I 
 
 JACK BE NIMBLE 
 
 Jack, be nimble, 
 Jack, be quick ; 
 
 Jack, jump over 
 The candlestick. 
 
Bonny Lass crawled into the dog house for fun. 
 But poor fat Bonny Lass stuck fast and she isn't 
 having any fun now. 
 
 What makes Bonny Lass so fat ? 
 
 She eats too much sweet food like candy and cake. 
 You should see her eat! And that makes her too 
 lazy to exercise. She just sits and reads or sews 
 instead of walking and playing out doors in the 
 fresh air. 
 
 O, Bonny Lass, you lazy, fat girl! Ask Nimble 
 Jack how he learned to jump so well. 
 
BONNY LASS 
 
 Bonny Lass, Bonny Lass, 
 
 Wilt thou be mine ? 
 Thou shalt not wash dishes, 
 
 Nor yet feed the swine ; 
 
 But sit on a cushion, 
 And sew a fine seam, 
 
 And feed upon strawberries, 
 Sugar and cream. 
 
Did you ever hear that some people eat too much 
 meat*? Once a day is enough. And most people 
 would be better if they didn't eat quite that much 
 meat. 
 
 Eat fish sometimes instead of meat. And eat 
 plenty of milk and eggs. They are even better for 
 you than meat. 
 
 Every time you eat fish instead of meat for dinner 
 mark out one of the fish in this tank. 
 
DANCE TO YOUR DADDY 
 
 Dance to your daddy, 
 My little baby ; 
 Dance to your daddy, 
 My little lamb. 
 You shall have a fishy, 
 In a little dishy ; 
 You shall have a fishy, 
 When the boat comes in. 
 
Did you ever get out on the wrong side of the bed ? 
 That's what father calls it when I wake up cross. 
 
 But what's the use of staying cross? 
 Whistle or sing until you drive all the cross- 
 ness away. 
 
 Laugh and be merry, because it's the merry heart 
 that lasts the day out, and it's the merry heart that 
 has a good time all the day long. 
 
 Look in the looking glass and then draw the kind 
 of a mouth you are going to have. 
 
A MEREY HEART 
 
 Jog on, jog on, the foot path way, 
 And merrily jump the stile, boys. 
 
 A merry heart goes all the day ; 
 Your sad one tires in a mile, boys. 
 
Wee Willie Winkie, you didn't catch Ned. He 
 made a paper clock to show him when to go to bed. 
 
 See the star he pasted on the clock to remind 
 mother when to call him. Then he's sure to get up in 
 time to eat a good breakfast before he goes to school. 
 
 Children 5 to 6 years old need 13 hours of sleep. 
 Children 6 to 8 years old need 12 hours of sleep. 
 Children 8 to 10 years old need ll 1 /^ hours of sleep. 
 Children 10 to 12 years old need 11 hours of sleep. 
 
 How many hours of sleep do you need? Can 
 you mark this clock to show when you should go to 
 bed and when you should get up ? 
 
!SZ 
 
 WEE WILLIE WINKIE 
 
 Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town, 
 TJp-stairs and down-stairs in his nightgown, 
 
 Rapping at the window, crying through the lock, 
 " Are the children in their beds, for now it's 
 eight o'clock?

Since the crooked man lived where everything 
 else was crooked perhaps he didn't mind being 
 crooked. 
 
 Would you like to be a crooked man ? How do you 
 stand now straight or crooked? 
 
 Does mother ever have to say, "Sit up straight ?" 
 
 Here are four things to do that will help you grow 
 up to be a straight man or woman. 
 
 1. Hold your head up high. 
 
 2. Keep your chin in. 
 
 3. Keep your back straight. 
 
 4. Walk with your feet straight. 
 
THE CROOKED MAN 
 
 There was a crooked man, and he went a 
 
 crooked mile, 
 He found a crooked sixpence against a 
 
 crooked stile ; 
 He bought a crooked cat, which caught a 
 
 crooked mouse, 
 And they all lived together in a little 
 
 crooked house.

 Thirty white horses to keep clean! Have you 
 thirty teeth yet ? 
 
 Brush out all the food between your teeth. 
 Brush up and down. And then brush them on the 
 inside the side next to your tongue. 
 
 Do you keep your tooth brush in a clean dry place 1 
 Who wants to use an old, wet tooth brush ! 
 
 Put in the letters that tell when to clean your 
 teeth.

THIETY WHITE HOESES 
 
 Thirty white horses upon a red hill ; 
 
 Now they tramp, 
 
 Now they tramp, 
 Now they stand still. 
 
Is your face really clean if your ears are dirty I 
 If your neck is dirty? 
 
 Are your hands clean when your nails are dirty ? 
 When you look to see if your hands are clean do you 
 look at the back or just the inside of your hands ? 
 
 Do you wash your hands before you eat t Remem- 
 ber that only clean things should go into your mouth ; 
 dirty fingers will make your food dirty, too. 
 
THE LITTLE CLOCK 
 
 There's a neat little clock, 
 In the schoolroom it stands, 
 
 And it points to the time 
 With its two little hands. 
 
 And may we, like the clock, 
 Keep a face, clean and bright, 
 
 With hands ever ready 
 To do what is right. 
 
Pease-pudding hot and pease-pudding cold is a 
 great game. That's what these boys are playing. 
 
 Look out, boys, or you will upset your bowls, and 
 you will have no supper at all. 
 
 That would be too bad, because peas and beans 
 are such good food better in some ways than meat. 
 So are eggs and milk. 
 
 Instead of meat, 
 We can eat 
 
PEASE-PUDDING 
 
 Pease-pudding hot, 
 Pease-pudding cold, 
 
 Pease-pudding in the pot, 
 Nine days old. 
 
 Some like it hot, 
 
 Some like it cold, 
 Some like it in the pot, 
 
 Nine days old. 
 
Whatever day you sneeze, cover your sneeze with 
 your handkerchief. The boy in this picture was too 
 slow. He didn't get his handkerchief up in time. 
 
 After using your handkerchief put it away in 
 your pocket. 
 
 Be just as careful when you cough. We can 
 catch colds and sore throats from people who are 
 careless when they cough or spit or sneeze. 
 
 Use your handkerchief every time or you will 
 make other people catch your cold, and then they 
 will " sneeze for sorrow, " even if it isn't Friday. 
 
IP YOU SNEEZE 
 
 If you sneeze on Monday, you sneeze for danger ; 
 Sneeze on a Tuesday, kiss a stranger ; 
 Sneeze on a Wednesday, sneeze for a letter ; 
 Sneeze on a Thursday, something better ; 
 Sneeze on a Friday, sneeze for sorrow ; 
 Sneeze on a Saturday, see your sweetheart to- 
 morrow. 
 
Think of all the dirty places where that little 
 mouse has been! All over the floor, in the garbage 
 pail and out in the barnyard, too. Dirty little mouse, 
 keep off my table ! Keep out of my dishes ! 
 
 We eat clean food in this house. We won't let 
 you taste our food first. Neither de we let the flies 
 walk over it, for their feet are dirty just like yours. 
 
 You look like a dear little thing, but we know 
 your ways. You'll have to keep out of our house, 
 you rats and mice. Run away ! Run 1 
 
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY 
 
 When I was a little boy 
 
 I lived by myself, 
 And all the bread and cheese I had 
 
 I laid upon the shelf ; 
 
 The rats and the mice' 
 
 They led me such a life, 
 That I had to go to London 
 
 To buy me a wife. 
 
Tea and coffee are not good for growing children. 
 Perhaps they are not good for anybody. Anyhow 
 we know they are not good for children like Molly 
 and me. 
 
 Some of the wrong things to eat and drink make us 
 ill. Some of them make us too fat. Some make our 
 noses red. Our real Mother Goose book tells about 
 that. 
 
 Nose, nose, jolly red nose; 
 
 And what gave thee that jolly red nose? 
 Whisky and beer, mustard and spice 
 
 That's what gave me this jolly red nose. 
 
 Too much pepper is not good for us either. I'll 
 put it up on the shelf with the other things Molly and 
 I have stopped eating. 
 
it I 
 
 MOLLY AND I 
 
 Molly, my sister, and I fell out ; 
 
 And what do you think it was all about ? 
 She loved coffee and I loved tea, 
 
 And that was the reason we couldn't agree. 
 
If 
 
 Most boys and girls have to stay indoors when it 
 rains or snows; but if they would be careful and 
 wear proper clothes they could have such good times 
 out in the rain and snow. 
 
 You don't have to have leather clothes, like this 
 old man. Wear rubbers and a raincoat when you 
 need them. Sometimes an umbrella is just the thing. 
 
 Keep your feet dry and take off your wet things 
 when you come in. Don't keep them on and get chilled. 
 
 Rain and snow are not very good for our clothes, 
 but they won't hurt us if we are careful.

 ONE MISTY MOISTY MORNING 
 
 One misty moisty morning, 
 When cloudy was the weather, 
 
 There I met an old man 
 Clothed all in leather 
 
 Clothed all in leather, 
 
 With cap under his chin; 
 How do you do, and how do you do? 
 
 And how do you do again ! 
 
One little nail lost the whole battle ! 
 
 What stories can you tell about little things ? 
 
 I know one little shoe string that made a man 
 miss his train. How did it do that ? 
 
 One little hole in a boy's tooth made him stay 
 home from a picnic. Can you tell why ? 
 
 One boy stole just one ride, hanging on the back 
 of a truck, and broke his arm. 
 
 One little banana peel made a little girl go on 
 crutches for a whole winter. 
 
 k 
 
 STOP 
 LOOK 
 LISTEN 
 
 is a good sign for everybody. Good drivers 
 always obey that sign. 
 
 Carry that little sign in your heads, and 
 STOP, LOOK, LISTEN for motor cars and 
 trolley cars before you cross the street. 
 
FOR WANT OF A NAIL 
 
 For want of a nail, the shoe was lost ; 
 For want of a shoe, the horse was lost; 
 For want of a horse, the rider was lost ; 
 For want of a rider, the battle was lost ; 
 For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost ; 
 And all for the want of a horseshoe nail ! 
 
Do you sleep outdoors ? 
 
 That is the best place to sleep, even in cold weather. 
 
 But if you sleep indoors, have at least one win- 
 dow wide open, even in winter. 
 
 Pin a piece of paper on your window to show how 
 many nights you had it open. Put one mark on it 
 every morning when you get up. 
 
 Or, instead, cross out one of these numbers for 
 every night this month you have your window open.

KOCK-A-BYE, BABY 
 
 Kock-a-bye, baby, on the tree top, 
 When the wind blows, the cradle will rock ; 
 When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall; 
 Down will come baby and cradle, and all. 
 
Do you feel like dancing when you are clean ? 
 Dirt doesn't always make people sick. But I'd 
 rather be clean, anyhow. Wouldn't you? 
 
 Why when I'm clean I feel so fine I feel good 
 all through. Somehow it is easier to be good when 
 I'm clean. Perhaps that's one reason why mothers 
 work so hard to keep us clean. What is the 
 other reason? 
 
THE OLD WOMAN AT THE TUB 
 
 The old woman must stand at the tub-tub-tub, 
 The dirty clothes to rub-rub-rub ; 
 And when they are clean and fit to be seen, 
 She'll dance like a lady on the green. 
 
When winter comes, and it is very cold that | 
 Little-Boy-in-the-Lane will cry for some nice warm 
 woolen clothes. 
 
 Wear thick, loose, woolen clothes in cold weather. 
 And be sure your shoes aren't too tight. Your feel 
 can't keep warm in tight shoes. 
 
 Take your warm outdoor clothes 
 off when you come into the house. 
 It isn't good for you to sit in warm 
 places, such as trains or school- 
 houses or churches, with all your 
 warm wraps on. 
 
 Sometimes those places are 
 much too warm. Mark this ther- 
 mometer with a red pencil to show 
 when we should open a door or win- 
 dow to cool the room. 
 
BAA, BAA, BLACK SHEEP 
 
 Baa, baa, black sheep, 
 
 Have you any wool? 
 Yes, marry, have I, 
 
 Three bags full; 
 One for my master, 
 
 One for my dame, 
 But none for the little Boy 
 
 Who cries in the Lane. 
 
Which shoe in the store window is your shoe? 
 Which shoe will help you climb the hills ? Which 
 shoe will hurt your foot even if you do nothing but 
 sit still? 
 
 Look at the shoes people wear until you can write 
 the answers to these questions. 
 
 1. Where should a shoe be loose? 
 
 2. Where should a shoe be tight ? 
 
 3. Why should your shoe have a very low heel?

 An apple a day keeps the doctor away. 
 
 She knew that fruits like raisins and apples are 
 good for us. 
 
 Eat raisins, prunes, oranges, apples or some kind 
 of fruit every day and then, like Jack, you can say 
 " What a good boy am I ". 
 
LITTLE JACK HORNER 
 
 Little Jack Homer 
 Sat in a corner, 
 
 Eating a Christmas pie; 
 He put in his thumb, 
 And pulled out a plum, 
 
 And said, "What a good boy am II 
 
Who would be Diddle-Daddle John, when it feels 
 so good to get into nice clean night-clothes and climb 
 into a nice clean bed with clean, cool sheets ? 
 
 Diddle-Daddle John doesn't know how nice a 
 good warm bath makes you feel, or he'd take off his 
 clothes and have a good wash before going to bed. 
 
 How does he air his clothes if he wears them all 
 the time? Do you spread your clothes out on the 
 chairs to air at night ? 
 
 Perhaps you can make a nice rack that will hold 
 them better than a chair would. Leave all the ends 
 long ; that will make it easy to spread everything out. 
 
 
DIDDLE, DADDLE, JOHN 
 
 Diddle, daddle, dumpling, my son John, 
 Went to bed with his stockings on ; 
 One shoe off, and one shoe on ; 
 Diddle, daddle, dumpling, my son John. 
 
Girls and boys, come, stop your play. 
 The moon doth shine ; it is not day. 
 You Ve had your supper and need your sleep ; 
 Say " Good night, playfellows ", and leave 
 the street. 
 
COME OUT TO PLAY 
 
 Girls and boys, come out to play ; 
 The moon doth shine as bright as day ; 
 Leave your supper, and leave your sleep, 
 And come with your playfellows into the street. 
 
 
A little boy who worked as hard as that for his 
 supper should have been better paid than little Tom 
 Tucker was. 
 
 I would have given him brown bread, not white 
 bread. Butter is a good food, but he should have had 
 some fruit or vegetables, too, and at least one glass 
 of milk. 
 
 No wonder he is such a little fellow almost 
 skinny, I'd call him. Can you put one word in this 
 rhyme to show what kind of bread Tom should have 
 for supper ? 
 
 O, why so big, you big Tom Tucker ? 
 Because I eat. , .bread and butter. 
 
LITTLE TOM TUCKEE 
 
 Little Tom Tucker 
 Sings for his supper ; 
 
 What shall he eat? 
 
 White bread and butter. 
 
Little Miss Muffet was a silly little thing, to leave 
 her bowl of nice sour milk because a spider came 
 near her. 
 
 Nice, sour milk! Does that make your noses go 
 up? Why, you silly little boys and girls! Little 
 Miss Muffet was wiser than you are. She liked any 
 kind of milk, even sour milk. 
 
 I'm sure her mother never had to say to her, 
 " You aren't drinking your milk."

 Here are twenty-one glasses of milk one for each 
 meal for a whole week. Mark one out with a black 
 pencil every time you drink your glass of milk, and 
 see how many are left at the end of the week. 
 
LITTLE MISS MUFFET 
 
 Little Miss Muffet 
 Sat on a tuffet 
 
 Eating her curds and whey; 
 Along came a spider, 
 And sat down beside her, 
 
 And frightened Miss Muffet away. 
 
When I was a little boy I crawled up to King 
 Boggen's house one dark night and ate all the candy 
 door knobs, six window panes, and a big piece of the 
 roof. While I was biting off a brown piece of pie- 
 crust, out ran little King Boggen and caught me. I 
 tried to run away but I couldn't run I had eaten 
 too much. 
 
 That's the trouble with sweet things. They are 
 so good we eat and eat, until we eat too much. 
 
 Sweet things like candy spoil our appetites. Eat 
 your candy at the end of the meal; then you enjoy 
 your other food more. 
 
 Mother says I only dreamed I went to King Bog- 
 gen's house. I wonder if I did; for in the morning 
 I woke up in my own bed. 
 
1 
 
 LITTLE KING BOGGEN 
 
 Little King Boggen, he built a fine hall, 
 
 Pie crust and pastry crust, that was the wall ; 
 
 The windows were made of black-pudding and white, 
 
 And slated with pancakes! You ne'er saw the like. 
 
Even if we could get new eyes by jumping into 
 another bramble bush, we'd take care of our own 
 old eyes, wouldn't we? 
 
 But we can't scratch new ones in again, so we 
 must be careful of the eyes we have. For even if 
 we had a little dog to lead us around, it wouldn't 
 be much fun, would it? 
 
 Write YES after the things you will try to do; 
 and write NO after the things you will try not to do. 
 
 1. Read in the dark 
 
 2. Rub your eyes with dirty fingers 
 
 3. Rest your eyes by closing 
 them for a few minutes 
 
 4. Read while swinging or rocking 
 
A MAN IN OUR TOWN 
 
 There was a man in our town 
 And he was wondrous wise, 
 
 He jumped into a bramble bush 
 And scratched out both his eyes. 
 
 And when he found his eyes were out, 
 With all his might and main, 
 
 He jumped into another bush 
 And scratched them in again. 
 
I wish I had been on the hill to help Jack and 
 Jill with my First Aid Kit. I would have put a nice 
 clean bandage on Jack instead of brown paper. 
 
 If Jack's head had a bruise I would have bathed 
 it with water very hot water and very cold water. 
 And then very hot, and very cold, over and over 
 again. That keeps bruises from swelling and from 
 turning black-and-blue. 
 
 Instead of vinegar, I use iodine for cuts. Or 
 sometimes, a little alcohol. What does your mother 
 use for cuts and splinters'? Print it on the third 
 bottle. 
 
JACK AND JILL 
 
 Jack and Jill went up the hill, 
 
 To fetch a pail of water ; 
 Jack fell down, and broke his crown, 
 
 And Jill came tumbling after. 
 
 Then up Jack got and home did trot, 
 As fast as he could caper ; 
 
 And went to bed to mend his head 
 With vinegar and brown paper. 
 
Even grown-up people do not wear long skirts 
 now-adays, but there are lots of boys and girls just 
 as silly as Miss Lily. 
 
 They throw their hats and coats around on the 
 ground and on the dirty floor. 
 
 Go open the door of the coat room and see if 
 there is a Silly Lily or a Silly Billy in your school. 
 
 I know a Silly Billy lives in this house. See 
 where he hangs his hat. He hangs it on the f . . . r ! 
 
SILLY MISS LILY 
 
 Little Miss Lily, you're dreadfully silly 
 
 To wear such a very long skirt ; 
 If you take my advice, you would hold it up nice, 
 
 And not let it trail in the dirt. 
 
When a bird is cold he fluffs out his feathers 
 until he is like a little round balL The layers and 
 layers of air in between the layers and layers of 
 feathers keep him warm. 
 
 We can keep warm that way, too. In winter we 
 wear loose, soft, woolen clothes that hold in the lay- 
 ers of air and that keeps us warm. 
 
 The north wind doth 
 
 blow, 
 
 And we shall have snow, 
 And what will the chil- 
 dren do then, 
 
 Poor things'? 
 
 When lessons are done, 
 They'll jump, skip, and 
 
 run, 
 And that's how they'll 
 
 keep themselves warm, 
 Poor things! 
 
 Doesn't the boy on the window seat know this? 
 He's been playing in the house all day. 
 
 What a 
 
 he is! 
 
THE NORTH WIND 
 
 The north wind doth 
 
 blow, 
 
 And we shall have snow, 
 And what will the robin 
 
 do then, 
 
 Poor thing? 
 
 He'll sit in the barn 
 And keep himself warm, 
 And hide his head under 
 his wing, 
 
 Poor thing ! 
 
I don't believe Jack Sprat ate lean meat and 
 nothing else. Do you really think his wife ate noth- 
 ing but fat meat ? 
 
 Just one kind of food isn't good for anybody. 
 All fat meat or all lean meat would be almost as bad 
 for us as all candy would be. Let us tell Jack Sprat 
 to eat more kinds of food : 
 
 Jack, you should eat all kinds of food, 
 
 So, also, should your wife. 
 Unless you change, soon sick you'll be 
 
 And shortly leave this life.

 JACK SPRAT 
 
 Jack Sprat could eat no fat, 
 
 His wife could eat no lean ; 
 So twixt them both they cleared the cloth, 
 
 And left the platter clean. 
 
Little bricks of habits 
 
 Laid up day by day 
 Make a healthy body 
 
 That's the only way. 
 
 What good habits are you going to use to build 
 your house ? 
 
 Can you think of some which are not in this pic- 
 ture ? Write their names on the other bricks.
