Excerpt from Boys, Girls and Manners
Thus Mr. Spencer tells us that among the natives of Australia, Strangers meeting must remain some time silent: a mile from an encampment, approach has to be her alded by loud cooeys: a green bough is used as an emblem of peace, and brotherly feel ing is indicated by an exchange of names.
This same idea about the green bough prevailed among the ancient Greeks. On the frieze of the Parthenon, some of the sculptured figures have branches in their hands. These are the women from other lands who hold the boughs in token of peace and friendship.

Excerpt from Boys, Girls and Manners
Emerson says that in order to acquire good manners, we must live with the well-bred from the start. He thus gently reminds American parents that they must surround their children with an atmosphere of courtesy from the cradle upward, if they wish these to grow up to be courteous men and women. We learn by imitation. Boys and girls take lessons in politeness or in incivility from those around them. In order to understand a subject thoroughly, however, we must study the laws which govern it, just as we must learn the rules of grammar, if we wish to speak correctly. In the days of our grandparents, children were carefully trained to good behavior. They were early taught the consideration for others which is the foundation of true courtesy.
