Book 3 — Spoon Attachment to Prevent Child from Using Left Hand

The Projection Keeps the Spoon from Entering the Mouth When Taken in the Left Hand

To discourage a child from using a spoon in the left hand, a projection was made of a piece of brass, filed into the shape shown in the illustration. After the projection was attached, the entire spoon was plated. This makes it impossible to use the spoon in the left hand, as the projection will prevent the bowl from entering the mouth.—Contributed by W. H. Hutchinson, Hamilton, Ont.
