a privilege if he appears otherwise. He will be taught that it is unmanly to tattle and gossip. He will be taught that it is vulgar and low to quarrel especially in the home. No man will strike a woman no matter what the provocation might be any more than it would have been right for his father to strike his mother. A man who is unable to control himself in anger is a weak man and is hardly fit to be a husband, much less father. Belonging to a race full of impulse and emotion he must be taught to control his emotions as he would his appetite. Culture and manliness are really restraint. He will be taught to remember the vital sex difference in strength and physique and will not permit a woman to lift or reach unnecessarily--not even to help with his coat. He will not preach a double standard of morality for the men and women unless he practices what he preaches and has always been pure.

The colored mother beautiful will teach her son to be a little man and not to receive "penny tips" like a beggar. He should be taught to do neighborly favors without pay, after first asking his mother for permission. If he must have money let him work for wages that he may be his own business boss. He should never be permitted to ask any one but his parents for pennies and he should be encouraged not to expect or accept them. A boy should be expected to walk with a graceful carriage and present an attractive personal appearance in the way of clothes, teeth, hair a
