"स्मरण"- महात्मा

 Under the title. 'Our Dirty Ways' in Navajivan on 13-9-1925, Gandhiji wrote the following:

1. Both excretory functions should be performed only at fixed places.
2. To pass urine anywhere in a street, at any place not meant for the purpose should be regarded an offence.
3. After passing urine at any selected place, one should cover up the spot well with dry earth.
4. Lavatories should be kept very clean. Even the part through which the water flows should be kept clean.
           Our lavatories bring our civilization into discredit, they violate the rules of hygiene.
5. All the night-soil should be removed to fields.

". . . If my suggestion is followed, no one would need to remove night-soil, the air would not become polluted and villages would remain very clean."

Salute to you...
