The duties of the girls are: to put out knives, forks, spoons, cups, plates and saucers before breakfast, dinner or supper and to clean afway the dishes after meals, to dust the furniture, to sweep the floor, to do the beds, to do the rooms, to do shopping. They must help mother with cooking in the kitchen. The boys also may help father in his work about the house or in the garden.

The ideal family must be built on the democratic bases. All the members of the family must gather together to decide the problems they meet. It should be a friendly family to overcome the difficulties. The friendly family would prefer to spend their spare time together: to go to the cinema or theatre, to go to the seaside or to the country, to go on the trips or travel abroad. They have occupations and interests in common and the same way they look on life.
