Excerpt
The clothes of the young child help make the man. Recent findings of science on the far-reaching importance of habits formed in early childhood, and on the beneficial effect of direct sunlight on the body go to prove it. These and other practical points on child health and training are here applied to children's rompers and play suits.
When the child first begins to investigate the world "on his own," rompers are a necessity. A child does not have the best opportunity of developing his body and disposition if he gets tangled up in a dress and petticoat every time he starts to creep. The romper is the child's overall and can be worn by both boys and girls up to 6 or 8 years of age. It protects the underwear and keeps the soil on an outside layer which can be easily peeled off. This cuts down laundry without irritating commands to keep out of the dirt.
