Do not turn around to stare at others, or watch
the choir, or appear anxious to see who is coming in.
Do not scrutinize the clothes of others nor be diverted
bv anv little noise. Books and fans should be passed
quietly, and accepted, or declined by simple gesture
of the head. Courteously see that a stranger is pro-
vided with a seat; you may invite him to enter your
75
pew if you have room. Ladies do not remove gloves in
church unless for some good reason. Except in case
of necessity, do not leave church until the services
are over, nor begin preparing to leave until after the
benediction is pronounced. Then leave the room
quietly without stopping in the aisle to converse with
acquaintances. Those who visit a church merely to
see it should go when no services are being held.
SCHOOLROOM ETIQUETTE.
During childhood a large part of the time is spent
in the schoolroom, under the direction of the teacher.
The characters and habits of the children are forming
at this period, and many of those in the public schools
have very little instruction in politeness at home.
We, as teachers, have powerful influence over them,
bv taking pains to teach the pupils the common rules
of politeness which will be a benefit in after life. All
teachers should be polite and kind to pupils ; this does
not mean that we should not be sharp at times for
nearly any pupil will need a sharp talk at some time
during a school year. When pupils never get angry
at the teacher it will be no question with wtell-thinking
people that he or she is not much of a teacher. Pupils
should be taught to come to school with clean hands
and faces, hair combed, nails and teeth clean, and
clothes as neat as possible. The schoolroom should
be kept as neat and attractive as possible, and require
the children to wipe their feet before entering the
room. Also teach them to open and shut the door
without needless noise and to enter and cross the
room quietly.

We must all be patient and pray for Divine Grace
in working with pupils. We must study them and we
will find by careful study that the same method of
managing one pupil will be an utter failure with an-
other. Kindness and gentleness, as a rule, will manage
nearly all pupils.
Teachers should be Christ-like in all their work w*ith
pupils. Christ forgave; he was loving. He came to
save the world and so we are to save every pupil we
can. We must teach them not to make use of slang,
falsehoods, selfishness, profanity, vulgarity, egotism;
but only the things that will make noble men and
women are to be thought of or practiced. This means
thought and work, but God wjill bless all good work.
Our pay comes from God and God alone. It is he
who knows our hearts.
