Youth Guidance—Second Grade Good manners should be taught to very young children, and the prin ciples and practices of polite society should be continued throughout the whole period of adolescence; indeed it should not stop with the adult, but be come a habit to follow one through out life. In the Second Grade to begin our discussion on True Courtesy we found out what a courteous manner is? We think that real.courtesy is not put on. It is being polite and considerate of others every day. That is why a courteous manner is always quiet and simple. A person with a courteous manner talks in a medium tone of voice, does not giggle or have affected airs of any kind, Trying to please others is part of true courtesy. Sometimes we please most by keeping quiet and minding our own business and sometimes we are most considerate when we offer to help people/ True courtesy is thoughtfulness. It is a part of courtesy to be polite to our family and also to anyone who serves us. Then a polite manrter includes, of course, such usual courtesy in words Such as, “Please,” Thank you,” and ‘‘Excuse me,” when stepping in front of another person, Punctuality, good table manners, and showing special consideration for unfortunate,' crip pled, sick or elderly pebple are some of the most necessary things, if we would have a courteous manner, The Second Grade pupils enjoy talk ing about these everyday courtesies that we should all take the trouble to remembers, More then four hundred, cans representing every tpwnsN# fied town ip the county qnjjpysd a J&toln Day banquet Tuesday evening in Xenia a t the- Masonic Tempte* The address - of the eyeping, w*s given by Mayor Janata.
