most parents, says the Saturday Re-
view, and all young persons would
receive with amused contempt or
fierce resentment the idea that the
habit Of being agreeable to Others is
very useful, and can be taught. And
here is worth noticing the difference
between the English and French
view Of good breeding. When an
Englishman uses thctcrm "wcll-brcd'
he refers To the persons pedigree.

and women regard good breeding as a
thing which cannot h. taught, but is
partly c%ongenital and partly inhaled
unconsciously from III social atmos-
phcre.
Lord Chesterfield took cmphatical-

THERE IS AN ENORMOUS IGNORANCE OF THE IN
FLUENCE WELDED BY OFFICIALS AND OF THE POWER
OF THE INDIVIDUAL. TO DEMONSTRATE WHEN SUCH
INFLUENCE Is MISUSED.
There is another very great duty-the duty of vigilance. 1t is
disastrous to believe that by legislation you can secure moral or
social reform. You may elevate the standard Of your legislators
and multiply civil service examinations, but without beneficial re-
suits. for good government consists not in laws nor in the men who
execute them, but in public sentiment.
IT IS THE TRAGEDY OF MODERN LIFE THAT THIS
SENTIMENT HAS BECOME ATROPHIED.
There must be something done to awaken men, to protect inno-
ccncc, prevent crime and compel officials to do their duty. This is
not a theory. It is a condition, and il young III &c n only properly
vgilant they can do a great service to their communities.
IT is PERSONAL. SERVICE THAT IS THE DUTY OF
EVERY YOUNG MAN AND EVERY OLD MAN.
We must recognize good service and condemn the bad. Personal
service does not require official position nor high standing nor wealth
to be OF service to your city. Ii requires steadEastness Of purpose,
intelligence and watchfuluess and the energy to act.
