"TIS MANNERS AND WANT OF LOW." There is not much use in taking ex- ception to a lack of manners in any- one who has reached the age of fif- teen, but before that time hope can be cherished. It is, to use Scotch, feckless, to expect a year at a finish- ing school or four years at Harvard or Yale to create in a personality what has been totally lacking. A healthy, deeply rooted plant left to grow at will outside sun, nourishment, air, and protection from heat or cold, when it has reached maturity cannot be trained to beautiful lines if the gardener's hand be ever so skillful. Unless a child's bad manners are altered for good before it reaches fifteen or even earlier the veneer of polish will show a coarse grain at the scratch. The schools cannot do all the work. Children are imitative, and what is seen and heard at home is repeated in voice, gesture and action in public. A child may be taught to tell the truth, but unless he can tell it with regard for the listener his selfishness balances a lie. A boy may respect another's property, but when he slams through a swinging door and lets it whack back on whoever follows one can be certain the respect for property is from fear of punish- ment and not from consideration or a sense of justice. When a girl goes to church regularly and never thinks of offering a stranger a hymnal, that the service may be shared, there is something morally wrong. Manners make the man and the woman and manners are made in the child. They do not grow naturally. Wise guidance, fineness of example, and intelligence in appeal are the means to a desired end. A healthy nature is quick in its grasp of a fine thought or action. Strength does not mean rudeness and a vigorous men- tality does not necessarily create dis- cord. These facts are universally ac- knowledged as true by parents until it comes to the point of their acting upon them and encouraging in the child a disinterested sense of kind- ness and honor. It is too much trou- ble to correct their own faults, and so the chance of improvement in the small boy or girl is left to the already burdened clergyman or teacher. Children can be the most interest- ing things in the world and they can be the most pathetically vexatious. MAKE THEM THE THE MAN FEL- Dr. Edwin T.
