SCHOOL OF ETIQUETTE FOR CHILDREN
In Atlanta there is a School of Etiquette for Children,
directed by Mrs. E. E. Nicholson. The idea is to teach chil
dren good manners and thus combat juvenile delinquency.
The problem of juvenile delinquency is really acute
in the larger towns and cities where the teen-agers have
few chores to do and have so much idle time on their
hands. .
Where children have plenty to do, home chores and
odd jobs to help make a living, there is rarely any very
serious problem about juvenile delinquency.
Everyone can tell you'what the problems of juvenile
delinquency are but few of us can suggest any solution of
the problem.
Some of the problems are pampering the children,
giving them too much money to spend, letting them have
high powered cars to drive, letting them do “what every
body else is doing”, and failing to give them something
worthwhile to keep their minds and hands busy.
Os course there are thousands of well-mannered and
intelligent youngsters who astonish us with their splendid
training and their earnest efforts to fill a creditable role
in life.
Yet, there are a minority of youngsters who seem to
have no sense of responsibility and who act like spoiled
babies as they try to “show out” by thoughtless pranks
and even criminal activities.
The best organization in the world for child train
ing is the home. Believe me, you have to start them off
when they are very young. There are no set rules and
regulations for bringing up youngsters, because no one
knows exactly the right methods. It is a matter of day to
day judgment and effort, a long grind of keeping on the
job as parents and not leaving our children s training
mainly to the schools and churches or any other outside
organization. .
No school, church or boy scout organization can take
a spoiled brat and make a responsible, well-mannered
person out of him. Not even any School of Etiquette can
undo the damage done a child by irresponsible parents.
Some people will spend a lot of time properly train
ing a birddog but very little time training their children.
The parents must know when to praise and reward
a child and when to put on restraint and even punishment.
No child is born with a trained conscience or even with
any idea of the need for personal responsibility. All these
must be taught the child, from day to day and year to
year, line upon line and precept upon precept.
And don’t ever be afraid to say “No” to a child. And
don’t be afraid to say “Don’t”. All this tomfoolery about
the danger of “frustrating” a child if you prevent him
from doing anything he wants to do is just a brainstorm
hatched up in the minds of amateur psychologists and
childless nincompoops. .
The worse way to frustrate a child is to rear it m the
belief it will always have its way in life. Then it will grow
up expecting everyone to continue the coddling. This old
world does not coddle people. It puts them through the
grinder. And woe to the youngster who reaches maturity
without any toughening for the grinder ahead.
The habit of work is one of the best tougheners for
a developing boy or girl. The habit of work in youth, real
hard work, is the best discipline that any youngster can
have
I do not mean sweatshop work or cruel drudgery at
tasks too hard for youth, but some kind of worthwhile and
constant undertaking that will drill into the youth the
habit of work and the knowledge of the necessity of work
for advancement in life.
The racehorse must go around the track m practice
runs many times before he ever wins a race. And the
child’s mind and muscle must be disciplined long and
systematically before it gets the starter’s gun for the
serious work of life after maturity. .
All that I am saying is of course merely skirting the
edges of the problem of child training. There are no ex
perts at child training. Anyone who thinks he knows all
about how to train a child has never had to train one.
You just strive and work and pray and hope and do
the best you can. And often you’ll be surprised how well
your efforts have been rewarded, and just when you d
about given up hope of getting good results.
Parents, it is worth a trial on those children of yours.
School of Etiquette Aims at
Good Manners for Teen Agers
ATLANTA, July 30, 1957 —
A big step forward in the pro
gram of teaching children better
manners was announced by Mrs.
E- E. Nicholson, director of the
American School of Etiquette, as
she revealed plans for enlarge
ment of the school’s .magazine,
“Good News,” during the com
ing school year.
The September issue will carry
advertising for the first time,
Mrs. Nicholson announced, along
with bright new typography, an
increased number of pages and
features and a swollen circula
tion.
“If the demands for this pub
lication from teachers and par
ents continue,” Mrs. Nicholson
said, “we may have to make a
press run of 15,000 copies. They
will go all over the nation, but
our primary circulation for the
present is in Georgia and the
Southeast.”
The American School of Eti
quette, 855 Parkway Drive, N.E.,
Atlanta, has been a long-time
non-profit, national institution
operated by Mrs. Nicholson. Its
idea of teaching good manners to
children to prevent juvenile de-

handed down under the guise of
“protecting the rights” of the in

of that contention is that—granted

all manner of law violators are
entitled to due process of law—the
protection of the rights of the vast

a far more vital consideration.

person the right to shout fire in a
