Girls Courtesy In School

Many young girls who are elsewhere
we'll behaved and charming, seem to
fancy that a school teacher has no
claims upon their courtesy which they
are bound to respect. 1t is strangely
warped sort Of public sentiment among
school girls which allows a professediy
we'll bred maiden to leave her good
manners on the doorstep when she goes
into school. The teacher expects mat
tsntion and insoIence from those whose
birth aud training have been of an un-
lovly and vulgar sort but it Is unfor-
tunate'y true that the most wayward
and disagreeabie pupils are too often
those from whom one might expect to
receive the most graceful respect and
cooperation. Girls who pride them
selves on lady-like department at q re-
cepsion or party. and would be ashamed
to pay . clergyman or a lecturer the in
civility Of open inattention, will often
be dippantiy iuattent,ve and imperti-
nent 10 the teacher or English history
or algebra.
Yet, while the school is In session, its
teacher Is hostess, her pupils are,
properly, guests and, setting aside the
personal, religious reasons for decent
dem-anor In the church, the teacher is
as much entitled 20 respect at her desk
as the clergyuea in his pulpit.
The secret of this wrong urobab'v
lies In that unwritten tradition of school
life which rnskes teacher and pupils
ex-oficio enemies. Bot this tradition
is as foolish as II is unkind.
