Teaching Youth courtesy.

II is true that the one-time honored
"ma'am" has gone to voyage. Yet
wait-what takes its place? Sometimes
nothing. Poor modern childi
Little Willie, you see, is taught that
'ma'am" is decidedly bad form, don't
you know. a mode of address only TO
be used by servants, indeed, and so
his youthship comes out with an
abrupt mo" or a brief Eyes" to old
ladies and playmates alike, an ex-
change observes.
Inc really correct thing Tor Willie
to be taught is that the name or rela.
tionship of the persons addressed must
be given in place of that socially os-
TRACKED 'ma'am." He must say Eyes,
mother" or mo, father" Gf he has
been taught not to s "sir"), or mo,
Mr.. Smith or Miss Jones'" as the case
may be.
The mentioning of a persons ann
when speaking to him or her is always
q pleasant little mark of courtesy,
even from one older person to another,
and is charming TO hear from a child's
lips.
