PERSONAL TO PARENTS *
Dear Parents:
As important as Reading, Writ
ing and Arthmetic are, they alone
do not make up all that goes into
a well-adjusted person.
Our children are sadly lacking
in personality and the little lady
like and 'gentlemanly manners
which bespeak good home train
ing.
To see a person on the street,
one doesn’t question how well he
reads but his manners are cer
tainly very obvious.
\ loud, boisterous, ill-manner
ed person regarldess of his
onal beauty or scholastic brillance
is most objectionable. Won’t you
correct bad manners and insist on
the practice of good manners in
/our child. It is thfe key to many
' opportunities and a very good
many friends.
Day by day practice is neces
sary to fix this valuable habit so
hat it eventually becomes a de
finite part of the child’s personali
ty.
