the table, the right attitudes. the proper
use of the napkin are all matters OF much
greater Importance in the education of
the average child than instruction in
drawing or in dissection of dead animals
Our country is a smelling pot OF every
nationality on earth, Our schools are
composed of children from all classes and
all chimes. Many people come to us
whose lives in the old countries have
been passed in remote places, far from
centers of civilization. where no knowl-
edge is obtainable of the niceties Of life.
The children the reared by these parents
in the same habits which characterized
their early environments. A large ma
jority Of these children will grow up to
be intellectually brilliant men and women,
and many of them will occupy prominent
places. industrially and politically. 1t is
important that they should be trained in
good manners in the small things OF life
as well as In intellectual development.
II, your children are made to realize
that good manners are regarded as
part of education they will use their
influence upon their parents.
At any one of our seashore resorts in
the summer. or our winter resort hotels,
ono may encounter men and women by
the score who have been successful in
the battle for worldly wealth, but whose
early education lacked training in this
special direction of refined manners.
Men who tuck their napkins under their
chin, men and women who partake OF
their soup audihly, and who flourish
toothpicks at the table, in the corridors
and on the verandas, and even men and
women who convey food to the mouth by
means of the knife. forgetting that the
knife Is only appropriate for cutting and
not for carrying food are to be met with
everywhere in our land.
Many of our early Puritan fathers were
very indifferent to these matters as they
we're opposed to all things ornamental
and beautiful in life. They taught only
the stern virtues. and principles, and an
apstere religion. The ornamental, the
gracious. the courteous sides OF life they
considered of no value.
The New England world has changed
many of it's ideas in modern times, but II
needs to change still more. and to carry
| its modern ideas still further by intro
ducing instruction in good manners into
our school systems.
! II is only the exceptionally well-breC
little boy who does not rush ahead oil
! older people. thrust women and children
aside, and force himself into public con-
yeyances in a hurry to obtain a seat
NOT one small boy in 1000 ever rises and
offers an older person a seat; not NOR,
than one in 1000 has been taught to ris,
when woman enters a room. Thss,
small courtesies mark the well-bred maj
when he is grown and their absenc,

A bright boy after hearing read the
account Of Genesis of how God made all
the animal inhabitants of the earth. one
after another. exclaimed: what fun
that wasi" He was rebukedr for irrever-
enee, but he declared that he meant
nothing wrong; he only thought what IA
delight it would be to actually make new
animals-the first lion, the first tiger,
the first elephant. tho first alligator, and
so on.
And the naturalist, studying the in
finite variety of animal forms, often, no
doubt has a similar impression OF the
pleasure that must underlie the act OF
creating something that has never before
existed. He meets many animals which

There is no apparent reason why the

just as well. have had forms entirely
different from these which we see. II
We could visit Venus, which is OF about
the same size as tne earthi we might
find 1t crowded with inhabitants. every
one OF which would be a complete novelty
TO our eyes, and what was there re-
garded as the acme of beauty might seem
TO us monstrously ugly. Yet. these diverse
forms. existing in a world otherwise like
ours, would merely represent different
ways of meeting the conditions of life
from those adopted on the earth, nature s

possesses sufficient talent in this line
TO make it worth while to continue the
study after school years. The child who
does possess such talent would be dis

well be devoted to something of more
universal value.
One of the most important things in

good manners. Manners which do not

To eat noisily, to display a tooth pick
