One of the troubles with the
schools of today is the teachers
are afraid of the principal, the
principal is afraid of the super
intendent, the superintendent is
afraid of the trustees, the trus
tees are afraid of the parents,
the parents are afraid of the
students, and the students are
afraid of nothing.
There are at least two occa
sions when one should keep his
mouth shut—when swimming
and when angry.

Can one ever justify being
rude? A public servant asked me
the other day what I would do
with people who are consistently
rude.
There is no way, of course, to
save or to protect our public
servants from rude or discourte-,
ous treatment, except perhaps to
remind one another to keep a
close watch on our manners.
I think that quite often, peo
ple do not mean to be rude, to
seem ill bred or boorish, but, be
coming annoyed at things in gen
eral, forget thcmsleves and
speak rudely to the first clerk
or telephone operator, delivery
man or waitress one happens to
encounter in anger, and folks
are rude without knowing it. *
! In the first place, it never
solves anything, and has an
amazingly far reaching effect. It
makes ill feeling, or an enemy
of the person who might other
wise become a friend, and good
ness knows, not one of us can
afford to lose a possible friend,
or the kindly regard of those
I one meets.
There is an exagerated infla
tion of the ego to “put him in
his place,’’ or to “bawl her out,”{
but it can seldom be done with
out rudeness, and to my mind
every rude word and discour
teous act reflects upon the char
acter and reputation until that
person becomes known among
all who serve him or her and
they serve with reluctance.
I did not mean to begin mor
alizing this first edition of the
year, but just can’t help it today.
How much pleasanter it would
be all 'round if everybody
would take time to think a
little about the other fellow!
There is always a reason for
all the delays that irk you.
Maybe the deliveryman had a
flat tire or an unusually heavy
load. No doubt the ’phone oper
ator had a full board ahead of
your call. (I’ve watched this
board and know how often that
happens.) Perhaps the clerk
who is slow in waiting on you
has been taking inventory, or
unpacking goods, or just feels
badly. There are any number
of reasons on the other fellow’s
side.
Why can't we all start taking
a little more thought for each
other and make this the Cour
teous City as well as the friend
ly one?
If it sounds too Pollyanna
like to find excuses for behav
ior, there still is no excuse for
rudeness on the part of people
of education and culture, but.
sad to say, that is quite often
where one finds it. In this case
it was. So for my New Year's
resolution, I have promised to
keep a check on myself, that
I shall not be discourteous or
rude even if I have tp keep my
mouth tight shut, which, as you
all know, would be a real job
for me.
History records few women
who laughed at their husband's
I jokes. Those few had beautiful
I teeth.
NEW YEAR WEDDING
AT ELKS CLUB
A holiday wedding was cele
brated January 2 at 5 p.m. be
side the Christmas tree in the
Elks Club. Martha Evcic and
i Jack E. Carli were united in
marriage by Anna B. Southard,
Acting U.S. Commissioner.
The bride wore a dark dress
and a double orchid corsage.
The attendants were Helen
Stevens and A. J. Culverson,
with about 30 guests.
The party went to Gabe’s for
dinner,*and later to the Wagon
Wheel.
The couple will honeymoon at
McKinley Park Hotel, then re
turn to Seward.
Never marry on Sunday. It
is wrong to gamble on the
Sabbath.
Do you know your house number?
