CHASE 'DUNKING'
N 'zOUP' noise
IN 72'S BOOK
School Pupils Give Fine
Points of Courtesy in
Tome.

Children at School 70, Troy and
Carson avenues, knows it's improper
to eat with their fingers, or to make
noise with soup, or to dunk
their bread.
But they also know the finer
points of courtesy and manners
which would put Emily Post to
shame.
A booklet on the subject has been
compiled by the pupils in the Eng
lish and civics classes. 1t was writ
ten and printed by students in the
school print shop.
Bound In Tan
The booklet is bound in a tan
cover sheet and measures eight By
five inches.
On the cover page appears the
quotation from Emerson, Life Is
not so short but that there is al
ways time for courtesy"
The standards of courtesy set
forth in the book give the rules Of
etiquette practiced by adults, eX-
pressed in children's language.
Seven phases of good manners are
considered separately under the
heading; courtesy in the home,
courtesy when invited out courtesy
at the table courtesy on the tele-
phone, courtesy in public as
semblies, courtesy on the street,
playground courtesy and intro
ductions.'
Don't Grumble"
Extracts from the little book read:
Boys and girls who are truly
courteous will perform their share of
the home duties without grumbling.
"A courteous child me-" leases or
DULLES his younger brotE o. sister.
"A written invitation demands a
written reply.
do not find fault with the food at
the table.
BE not angry at the table no
matter what happens; and if you
should have reason to be, show it
not.
Ladies and gentlemen do not
make themselves noticeable in pub
lie places.
1T is better to lose, and lose fairly
than ever to win by cheating.
"Introductions should be cordial,
sincere and simple.
"How do you do?' is one phrase
accepted by most authorities in ack-
nowledgement of an Introduction"
