There is nothing which adds to a boy's success in life, next to honesty of purpose, as the practice of good manners wherever he goes—on the sidewalks, in the buggy, as well as in the parlor. If you meet a boy who refuses to give you half the sidewalk or compels you to turn out on the sidewalk, you may class him as a boy with no sense of justice. When we speak of a polite boy, we do not wish to be understood as referring to one who bows low, and takes off his hat simply; but we mean the honest face—the one who always carries a smile on his countenance—we mean the one who has a kind salutation when he meets you in the morning, and a pleasant "goodnight" in the evening—a boy whose face is always void of offence.
