Excerpt from How to Teach Manners in the School-Room

In a right conception of good breading the moral clement predominates. With this idea in view, no one should attempt to instruct in good manners who has not the ability to instil into the minds of children its fundamental principles. True courtesy implies strict honor, self-possession, forbearance, generous and refined feeling, all culminating in a polished deportment.

When teachers consider manners in this high sense, and teach them accordingly, they give their pupils that which will bring them much more happiness in life than any amount of knowledge teaching without it.
