did this. with charming courtesy.
All these evidences of good breed
ing were silent compliments to
the mother and father who
brought you up, and show how
fortunate you are in having had
such good guidance.
But there are many boys Of
your age who do not practice the
lessons in good manners which
they have been taught at home
when they are in public places.
They seem to think it is not a
matter of Importance, and they
allow the exuherant spirits of
childhood to get the better of
their training.
In every part Of America one
may see boys of your age and old
er boys and youths pushing past
grown people to enter public con-
veyances, showing no courtesies
to elderly men or women. and sit
ting while others stand, and in
innumerable ways making them
selves annoying TO persons of good
taste.
They shout to one another from
end to end of crowded cars. they
