duties: duties to the teacii.er,dT’oioa
to schoolmates, and duties to the
school at lar^e, Iji regard to the
duties to the teachor, the pupils
should be obedient in all things.
Pupils should acccpt the prescriptions
of the teachers- in the sane spirit as
they do' the orders of their physicians
or the treatment of thoir dentists.
These men often hurt to help. Teachern
can not alvmys ^ive pleasant medicine
for the development of the mind and
character. Pupils should bo respectful
in attention, in address, and in speech.
Honesty should bo shown in speech, in
manner, in actions, and in lessons. In
dustry on the part of the pupil is
demanded too. Remember a pupil can as
easily choose to be obedient, respectful,
courteous, honest, and industrious as
not. It’s up to him to decide v/hat ho
is coins to mrJ:e of hinsolf.
One of the chief duties to one’s
classmates is in the classroom. Ho
ovres them quietness, attention, and
self-control. Other duties to comrades
are kindness in specch, in manners,
honesty in play, unselfislmess, and
thou^^htfulness. Cleanliness in person,
dress, speech, and in papers is a
necessity too.
There are a number of duties to the
school at largo. Passage fron classes
should be as orderly as possible. In
the matter of cleanliness of the build
ing, wo can always help jceep the floors
free from waste paper. '‘During the
chapel program., courtesy to the speaker
or to the performers requires absolute
attention. There are sometimes many
v;holesome laughs in a progrron, but the
tendency to laugh at the vrrong time
shows a lack of culture and refinement.
The only method of courteous applause
is by spontaneous handclapping. Tramp
ing, v;histling, clapping in time are
discourteous. Neither does a courteous
audience laugh at the mista}:es of a per
former, Gum chewing in several ways
is contrqry to school conventions. The
December 2, 1938
use of gun in public in addition to
being a badge of poor manners, leads
to the slovenly habit of littering the
floors with papers, and the cast-away
"cuds”, rjid the disgusting habit of
talking witli a "mouthful".
