CHILDREN NOT TAUGHT COURTESY.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: An attempt to teach swine the Greek language

for or anticipate courtesy from a brute Is likewise
disastrous Courtesy is gift Of Nature. inherited.
and descends to generations. 1t Is useless. In my
opinion. argue who the transgressors arc be
they Jews or Gentiles. People should be taught to
respect each other: without which there can be no
courtesy. Ny is great for the future. as it
is to be observed with regret that children have
less respect less consideration, less politeness than
their parents.
People do not resent rudeness here, as is the
case universally abroad There is no city on tho
globe day where there is conspicuous absence

man and in this city When mothers teach

Sir l understand that monument is to be erected

who suffered for their country's on the British
prison ships located in harbor during our revolu-

be pushed toward too quickly.
But there is another good thing that should be
done at the time. and that is build,
rather place. statue OF the greatest Of Washngons
generals, Nathaniel Greene top OF said monu
ment. Let the mighty chief that was called tho
second Of Washingon-the second OF the kind that
Washington the frst-have the respect paid that
should be given him. II ever q man deserves to be

THE POLICE.

Inere Is an important matter that the
chief of police should attend to. The large
number Of comparatively unknown men on
the force coupled with the peculiar actions
of few of them of late has created feel
ing of distrust in the minds of many people
against the policemen. Not few persons
feel as though they should be on their
guard against the police rather than be
ready to ask their assistance This feeling
has apparently been engendered by the
extra officiousness of few members on
the police force, and is no reflection upon
the others. But it is certain that citizens
should not look with any distrust upon the
custodians of the public peace. There
should be feeling of mutual reliance be-
tween the policeman and the citizen, or the
usefulness of the former will be greatly
abridged and the public welfare will suffer
accordingly. The average citizen needs
but little watching on the part of the
police; it is the transient, rough charac-
tiers, and the criminal class that the police
should take care Of For the policemen to
quarrel with well-meaning citizens, to be
over nice in the matter of making groups

that ventures the opinion that the police
are becoming overbearing, etc, is not the
way in which the police can secure the
confidence of the citizens. They II ust have
the support of the people in order TO fulfil
their duty as public officers.
The chief of police should see to it that his
men are given to understood that theil
business is to guard the welfare of the
people, not to establish system of petty
espionage over them. AS perhaps only q
few of the men have this latter idea, it will
be an easy matter to remedy the evil
Some of the policemen make a too fire
quent use of their revolvers. In one suct
case, a few nightsrago, the officer had his
pistol taken away from him, and he prob
ably deserved that humiliation. This mat
ter also should receive the attention of the
chief
