FOREWORD
"The supreme business of the school is to develop a sense of justice,
the power of initiative, independence of character, correct social and
civic habits, and the ability to cooeperate toward the common good."--Dr.
Frank Crane.
How do you develop correct social habits, the habits of a gentleman or a
lady?
You develop correct social habits just as you develop correct habits in
playing ball, or in swimming,--you discover the rules; then you
practise, practise, practise. A good general rule is, Do what a kind
heart prompts; for,
Politeness is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest way.
We earnestly hope this little book may help girls and boys to become
happier, more agreeable, and more effective citizens.
THE DEANS OF GIRLS,
CHICAGO HIGH SCHOOLS.
MAXIMS OF CONDUCT
Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us
