Always Wash Behind the Ears. That is the warning the native woman with the pitcher gives these Albanian war orphans who are attending the American Red Cross school at Tirana. This is the morning class in personal hygiene. The camera caught them at tooth brush drill. This is a great innovation, these children and most of their parents never had heard of a tooth brush before the Red Cross came. They have to brush their teeth and wash before they can get into school. They also have to wash their own wash bowls after they get through washing so that the next fellow can wash in a clean wash bowl
