Sister Mary Pyrlaeus takes care of clearing the table with the Day Helper; at meals a Sister sits at the head of each table and one at the foot, pay attention to the eating of the children, just as they live in the rooms with the children.
About 2:00 Sister Mary Elisabeth Beroth takes care of the washing and the day helper sends it to the Sisters in her room in pitchers.
The walks of the children take place in three divisions, which the Sisters take turns in, the children, with others at 4 o’clock and the rest about 5 o’clock.
The evening table, setting as well as clearing, is taken care of by Sister Mary Pyrlaeus. Each Sister accompanies her children to the Sleeping Hall and stays with them until they fall asleep.
Sister Beroth takes care of the house doors and lamps as soon as her children are asleep.
After all the lessons the Sisters will see that all the rooms look orderly so that when visitors come there won’t be so much to straighten up.
