The Manners Of Parents.
Monroe Journal.

Monroe Journal.
We hear a good deal said about the
behavior OF children in these days, and
these remarks are often the reverse OF
complimentary, but no one as yet has
seemed to seriously consider the man.
ners of grown people in relation to
children, though nowhere is the law OF
cause and effect more clearly manifest
ed. If parents are habitually courte-
Gus to their children, the children al
ways have pleasant manners. II the5
are rude, so are the children. They
reflect the manners of their elders as a
mirror does the object by which 1t is
surrounded. Many parents who are
we'll bred in their equals never trouble
themselves to be coDsiderate in their
behavior to their own children. In
deed, there are parents who actually
seem to think that it is not we'll to be
courteous to child.
'Say Thank you'," I heard
mother command little daughter
when she had tied sash for her.
"You never say Thank you to me, y
returned the child instantly.
"It is not my place to say THANK
you,' to you. You are my child, and
it is your duty to do whatever order,
responded the mother.
The Child quietly walked from the
room with firm shut lips and flashing
eyes, and the mother never noticed
that her command had not been obey
ed.
How often do we command when We
should request.
"Pass the Bread"
"Shut that door"
I'VE do not know the author OF the
above, but there Is more wisdom in II
than there is meat in nut.
