We live in a manterless age, an when good manners have suffered an eclipse and bad manners are look- ed upon almost as indications of Fugged independence and virile personality. The reasons why the cult of manners, so dear to the people of bygone and less crowded ages, should have been lost, are open te many interpretations. We may blame that very hypocrisy which

It becomes a fact of ever- creasing rand inescapable import- ance, that modern life in a crowd. ed community demands an essen- tial modicum of correct procedure in respect of modes of action and forms of politeness towards the fellow man. Mr. T. R. Rowell, Director of Education, in his ad dress to
