Politeness in China

TN CHINA parents are held RESPONSE
Bile for the manners Of their chill
- dren; accordingly. for the credit
Of their parents. people try to be polite.
If you are mobbed in a Chinese town
you should look straight at one or two
of the people and say. Your parents
did not pay much attention TO your
manners; they did not teach you the
rules of propriety." A remark Ike this
will make the crowd slinK away. one
by one, ashamed of themselves.
Few people will deny that the man
ners Of the Chinese TO their parents and
to old people generally are better than
ours, though we may think some Of the
examples of fliaI piety that are held
up in Chinese books for enulat go to
an absurd length. One example is that
OF a certain Lac. This worthy. when

toy or tho overdressed doll has worn off,
the children show no further interest.
The fond grown-ups who have spent so
much on these gifts are disappointed
with children who are so easily bored.
Many of them accuse the little ones of
lack of appreciation or concentration,
and few indeed realize that the fault
is not with the children, but with them
selves.
Watch any normal child and you will
observe that ne wishes TO construct his
own toys rather than have his play
things ready made. Notice how soon
the mechanical toys. fancy dolls and
like playthings are cast aside for the
well-worn blocks. An old wooden wag-
on to pull by a rope and to fill with
sand or dirt is much preferred TO a
pretty satin-lined coach that is drawn
by two gayly caparisoned horses that
are of no earthly use. Mother will not
allow the satin to be soiled by dirt,
and the beautiful steeds are too small
to sit upon, No wonder that the ex-
pensive team is left to stand in the
nursery while the old express wagon is
hauled about the yard and truly en-
jcyed.
