the street. Give four excellent reasons for this direction.

5) Eat slowly and noiselessly; don't "feed." Avoid talking when your
mouth is full. Take small mouthfuls, so that you may talk without giving
offense. Keep your lips closed when chewing. Never use your knife to
carry food to your mouth.

6) In the Lunch Room, as elsewhere, sit with your knees together and
with both of your feet on the floor, not on the rounds of your chairs.

7) Don't _throw_ paper and refuse into the receptacles provided; _drop_
it there.

8) Avoid boisterous talking and laughing. The tones of the voice
proclaim quite accurately the social background of the boy, the girl,
the man, the woman.

Her voice was ever soft,
Gentle, and low,--an excellent thing in woman.

--SHAKESPEARE.

9) Keep elbows and wraps off the Lunch Room tables; furthermore, do not
sit on the tables.

10) Leave your place in the Lunch Room tidy and spotless, with your
chair pushed up to the table.

11) Rise when an older person enters the room; remain standing until
your courtesy is acknowledged, or until the older person is seated.
(Optional with the teacher in the schoolroom.)

12) Boys, when a girl or an older person drops a pencil, a book, or
anything of the sort, pick it up and return it unobtrusively, but with a
little bow.

13) Avoid rushing from the room when the bell rings. Walk.

14) Open the door, boys, but let the girls pass out first, whenever
practicable. When many are passing in opposite directions, keep to the
right.

15) Never laugh at the accidents or misfortunes of others, even if they
have a ridiculous side. Nothing shows ill-breeding so surely.

He who laughs at others' woes
Finds few friends and many foes.

THE ASSEMBLY HALL

_There is a time for some things, and a time for all things;
a time for great things, and a time for small things._

--Cervantes.

Actions wholly appropriate to the gymnasium or the playground may be
quite out of character in the Assembly Hall. Think about it.

1) Avoid all running, romping, and making of unnecessary noise in the
Assembly Hall.

2) Avoid using the Assembly Hall as a thoroughfare. On entering, take a
seat immediately, and remain in it until the next bell rings. Talk in
gentle tones.

3) Avoid eating anything in the Assembly Hall.

4) Avoid dropping paper on the floor. Help to keep the room orderly and
tidy.
