FOREWORD

"The supreme business of the school is to develop a sense of justice,
the power of initiative, independence of character, correct social and
civic habits, and the ability to cooperate toward the common good."--Dr.

Politeness is to do and say
The kindest thing in the kindest way.

We earnestly hope this little book may help girls and boys to become
happier, more agreeable, and more effective citizens.

THE DEANS OF GIRLS,
CHICAGO HIGH SCHOOLS.
