"
2) In a street-car, boys, you should touch your hat politely and offer
your seat to a woman, a girl, or an elderly man who is standing. Your
courtesy should be accepted with a bow and, "Thank you."
3) Girls, if a seat is offered you, accept it at once with "Thank you."
Don't explain that you don't mind standing.
4) On the street, in street-cars, and in all public places, if your
voice or conduct attracts attention you will be considered "loud,"
"common," vulgar.
5) The chewing of gum in a street-car, in church, or in any other place
outside of your own private room stamps you at once as "common."
CORRIDORS
_Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint._
--Webster.
1) Avoid all running in the corridors; start in time, and walk.
2) Avoid crowding on stairways. Avoid crowding through Assembly Hall
doors. When in a mass of people, move slowly and try to keep breathing
space about yourself.
3) Avoid tossing paper on to the lockers. Avoid dropping it on the
floor; but if paper is there, train yourself to see it and to pick up at
least one piece every time you enter the corridor. This is what Dr.
Crane calls a "civic habit."
4) Boys, hats off on entering the building; don't put them on again
before you are at the outer door ready to leave, even though you should
see grown men violating this rule.
5) Hold a door open for a girl or an older person to precede you in
passing through; then glance over your shoulder to prevent the door from
swinging back into the face of any person who may be following.
