IN SCHOOL. Bow at entering, especially if the teacher be present. Walk quietly to your own seat, and move not from one place to another till school time be over. If your teacher be conversing with a stranger, stare not at them, nor listen to their talk. Interrupt not your teacher while a stranger or visitor is with him, but defer any question or request till he be at leisure. If your teacher speak to you, rise up and bow, making your answer standing. If a stranger speak to you in school, stand up and answer, with the same respect and ceremony, both of word and gesture, as if you were speaking to your teacher. Make not haste out of school, but soberly retire when your turn comes, without hurry or noise. Go not rudely home through the streets. Stand not talking with boys who delay you; but go quietly home, and with all convenient speed. AT CHURCH. Walk quietly and soberly to the pew; run not, nor go playing. Sit where you are directed by your parents. Change not seats, but continue in the place where you are desired. Talk not in church. Fix your eye upon the minister; let it not wildly wander to gaze on any person or thing. Attend diligently to the words of the minister. Pray with him when he prays, at least in your heart; and while he is preaching, listen attentively, that you may remember. Be not hasty to run out of the church after the worship is ended, as if you were weary of being there. Walk decently and soberly home, without haste or playfulness, thinking upon what you have been hearing. Always remember to be punctual at church. Never, if it can possibly be avoided, disturb the services by coming in after they have commenced. IN THE STREET. Walk quietly and unobtrusively in the street, neither singing, whistling, or shouting. Affront none, especially your elders, by word or deed. Jeer not at any person, whatever. Always give the right hand to your superiors, (by superiors, I do not mean so much in regard to birth, as age, merit, and the light in which they are regarded by the world,) when you either meet or walk with them; and mind also to give them the wall, in meeting or walking with them; for that is the upper hand, though in walking your superior should then be at your left hand. But when three persons walk together, the middle place is the most honorable; and a son may walk at his father’s right hand, while his younger brother walks at his left. Give your superiors place to pass before you, in any narrow place where two persons cannot pass at once. If you go with your parents, teacher, or any superior, go not playfully through the streets. Pay your respects to all you meet, of your acquaintance or friends. It is impolite to stare at every unusual person or thing which you may see in the street, or to use any improper postures, either of head, hands, feet, or body. TO YOUR PARENTS.
