If is scarcely reasonable to expect the pupils in
our crowded schools to conform to the ciyilities
and courtesis Of life in their conduct toward their
teachers unless the latter set them correct ex-
Rmples by the due observance Of these proprte-
ties in their relations to scholars and their par
ents. Civil communications addressed to people
Of culture and breeding require due acknowledge
ment and respectful Consideration. Neglect In
such matters is inadmissible as qualification in
the teacher of q grammar school, while imperiOus
impOliteness, or discourtesy and dOmineering
manners in his intercourse with the parents OF
youth temporarily committed to his charge, is in
sutfeTable. The quality and manners Of teachers
are generally reflected with tOlerable fidelity in
the conduct Of their scholars.
