1. GOOD MANNERS

A man is judged by the manners he has.Good manners are not born with the man. They are learnt and acquired from one's surroundings. Good manners develop in a man's mind when he is determined to learn something good. Well-behaved children are appreciated and loved by all. They become quotable in the society.The use of words like'welcome', 'thank you','sorry,sir' etc., makes them more acceptable and lovable in the society.A good mannered boy never cheats or makes fun of other people. He always speaks in a soft and low voice and is neat and tidy in his habits and behaviour.Though there are different standards of good conduct in different countries yet a common code of good manners is universally recognized.Courtesy,sympathy and modesty are the essence of good behaviour.This code  of conduct should form an integral part of the learning process at school. The students of today should understand that if they are wanting in manners,they stand nowhere.
