Good Manners Help.

A merchant who returned from Eng

Of the children he happened to meet

and schools do not lay on good man

abroad. Yet good manners. like the
gold at the foundation Of all money
are current the world over. Emerson
noted this: "Give boy dress and &C
cOmplishments and you give him the
mastery Of palaces and fortunes wher-
ever he goes. He has not the trouble
to earn or own them; they solicit
him to enter and possess" "All your
