GOOD MANNERS
MARK OF GRACE
AND URBANITY
Social Life of Present Less
Formal Than in Days of
YOre.
ARE WE DETERIORATING?
Rx FREDERIC J. HAsK1N.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The manners of
Americans, and especially of the younger
generation of them, are rapidly deterio-
rating, according to DR.. Charles w. Eliot,
pres dent emeritus of Harvard, who is a
sort Of professional representative of
the last century.
He protests against the informality of
greetings, against the fact that men
smoke in the presence of women, that
boys end girls touch, tap and shove"
each other, and that they talk about
things, events, processes and subjects
which the young men and women OF his
day never mentioned at all. By this lat
ter circumlocution, the learned doctor
is trying to tell US, without making him
self blush, that men and women now
frankly discuss matters of sex.
This plant against the deterioration OF
our manners has been heard so often of
late that the subject seems to require
study. What are good manners and what
purpose do they serves Are our manners
really deteriorating or merely changing
After consulting a number of the great
est authorities, living and dead, on the
subject. we are unable to answer these
questions, Tut can pass on to the reader
some of the information acquired and
let him try to answer them for him
self.
The scientists seem agreed that the
manners of society are rooted to great
extent in fear-the fear that individ-
uals have of each other, and that the in
dividual has for society as whole. This
point is emphasized by Mrs. Elsie Clewes
Parsons. an able American woman an
thropologist
In support Of this view 1t may be
shown that manners have always been
most formal and perfect where both
these fears were well grounded. In the
South before the Civil War, for example,
II was the custom for men to fight duels
over small matters. sometimes mere dis
courtesies. Rude treatment OF women
was also a cause for bloodshed. At the
same time, observers assure US that pub
lie opinion was tyrannical.
Here was a land where bad manners
or careless words might cost man mis-
life and the result was a code of man
ners of great formalty and beauty. They
were remarkably similar to the manners
of Elizabethan England when every gen
tleman wore sword and was always
ready to skewer other gentlemen for I'M
routeness. II may also be pointed ont
that manners are now most perfect IN
formal society, where each is wholly de-
pendent for preferment upon the favor
Of others rather than upon his own
abilities.
