The average young man SCOTS E
little at one who is noticeable fer his
good manners. Many healthy boy
thinks a certain roughness in speech
or manner is sign Of vigor and man
illness, in contrast to the weak and
effieminate ways Of one who is a.
ways bowing and scraping to people
whom he meets. There could not te
d greater mistake; because, while an
over-display of politeness is a sign
of hypocrisy, natural courtesy will
never permit man to behave in any
way except in the thoughtful, quiet,
refined way which belongs to good
manners. A rough, honest man is
certainly better than q slippery. we'll
hammered, dishonest one; and this is
the reason for SO much of the deiib-
erately rough manner some Of us
adopt. But this does not prove that
courteous behavior is wrong or TO
be avoided.
There is no reason, therefore. why
the average young man in school CT
college Or business, IN his daily occu-
oaticn, or when he comes in contact
with women and men, girls and boys,
should not make it a point to be re-
served, self-contained, tolerant, and
observant OF the little rules which
everyone knows by heart. A s.vs-
tematic method of observing rules
in such cases has its effects. For eX-
ample, you will see man in his dis
cussion among his friends talking ali
the time, demanding the attention
OF others, insisting on his views, los
ing his temper, or making himself
conspicuous in a hundred other ways.
He may be a very good fellow, full
Of push and vigor, and so sure of his
own views that in his heart he cam
not conceive of any other person
really having a different view Of the
subject. That is an estimab!e char
acter to have. Confidence in ones
own ideas often carries one over
many bad place. But the fact that
a person has such character, and
his disagreeable way Of forcing it
upon you, are two entire different
things; and the difference between
being confident and disagreeab!e,
and confident and agreeable, is the
difference between good and bad
manner.
