  1. Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    The people of this district have always been tolerably supplied with boots and shoes. It has never been the custom for grown up people to go bare-footed, but children sometimes go to school bare-footed in the summer time, especially the boys.
    Our boots are made in factories and we buy them in the shops.
    There are no local shoe-makers, but some of the people repair their own shoes.
    Clogs are very seldom worn.
