not mean license: that freedom
does not mean lawIessness.
American mothers have a large
duty confronting them h E
duty of teaching their children
the fine distinctions which lie
between these words.
Ask any man or woman who
has seen many lands and many
people. and you will be told that
American children are the most
lawless and ill.bred of ell the.
children on earth.
On any ship, or in any hotel,
the children who make them
selves obnoxious by their loud.
voices. their impertinent manv
ners, and their failure to show.
courtesy to their elders. are in.
variably American children. It
is not an unusual sight to see
American children walk or
| stand before strangers. staring
at them rudely, and whispering
or tittering as they move away.
Two young girls made Them
selves so obnoxious on one Of the
large ocean liners by their inn
pertinent manners to passengers
in the dining saloon that it be-
came necessary to ask the chief
steward to reprove them. These
children were daughters of a
New York banker. Their moth
er was on board with a retinue
of attendants, but she had never
taken time to teach her children
refinement or even common de-
cency of department.
When such examples ill- breed

cannot wonder that the poorer
classes have not reached a
standard where they understand
the Importance of including
good manners in the curriculum
of education.

every mother would teach her
boys and girls as soon as they
were able to. talk.
For instance, boys of sixteen
came into her spresence without
removing their caps; and often
when reporting to her for direc-
/ tions they bolted into her pri-
vate apartments without knock
ing or in any way making their
presence known.
! 1t became necessary for her to
teach her employees good man
ners before she taught them
their other duties.
Every mother should train
! her children to show good taste
and delicacy in their treatment
of herself. Then it would fol-
low as matter of course that
they would treat others with
courtesy. From the time boy

CIGARETTE SMOKING BOYS

Thirty-five Solomon boys are
threatened with Jobs fixing up the

from cigarette smoking, says the
Salina Union.
Many boys under age have been
smoking cigarettes in Solomon.
Where they get them is not known,
but complaints began to be heard
and the marshal took 1t upon him
self to investigate.
BY noon, Tuesday, he had secured
the names of thirty-five boys who
had been seen smoking cigarettes In
violation of both the state law and
a Solomon city ordinance.
The marshal informed the boys
the smoking of cigarettes would
have to stop at once and threatened
to arrest them all that very evening
and put them to work on the streets
today.
No arrests were made last even
ing, however, and none had been
made up to noon today, but 1t is be-
|lieved that thirty-five young men
have abandoned the cigarette habit
for a time at least. The marshal
states that anyone of them found
smoking another cigarette, will be
Immediately arrested and put to
work on the Solomon streets as an
example to others.
