A Careless Teacher Of Deportment

Politeness, to be worth anything, muft be instinctive. It is a good scherne to instruct youtb in the outward signs of this inward grace, even though it hatb it not, but the teacher should also praotice what he preaches, or discredit faUs on him and bis intmction. A certain professor in a popular school hns been very strenuous in enforcing certaiu manners" on his classes, and very properly insista that the littlo boys should take off their hats whenever they meet any person they know, and also give up their seats in a crowded street car to ladies who are standing. Some of the small boys uestioned the latter necessity, but when informed that a gentleman, unless he was a cripple, wonld never sdt while a woman stood, accepted the edict as final and have doubücs acted on it. Bat some of these pnpils have recently credited their professtr with insincerity, for they have seen him retain hia ssat in a crowded public cor:veyance, ard, furthermore, he barely ■ - turns with a touch of his hat rim the courteous recognition of the young girls in his classes. - Boston Herald.
