Table manners unfortunately are not an innate or even an inherited characteristic. Each child has to go through all the evolutionary stages, beginning as a little animal utterly unashamed in its greed for food, and ending, after a etern course of nursery and school discip- line, as a person fit to attend public. dinners.
Greedy bolting is amusing and rather charming in a puppy, but rudo in even a very small child. It is the first matter over which tho noblesse oblige of being human comes into play. Left to himself, a child has one idea-to get the food on board as rapidly as possible -and ho simply does not "realise whether or not he is being messy about it.
A Hard Lergon
The next unnatural thing a child has to learn is to eat what he does not like. It has to be done in cold blood, too, with no special help from starvation, the only thing which would induce a young animal to eat anything it found nasty.

infte and businesslike manner which rather shocks us.
English Apathy Perhaps, however, it is we who are in the wrong. Perhaps our nursery training is too thorough. Children are taught to be such perfect little ladies and gentlemen at the table that they develop a kind of enforced apathy about what they eat.
