COURTESY You have heard about the fellow that very recently offered his seat to a lady in a street car and she fainted. The gentleman revived her after some little time and she thanked him, where- upon he fainted. The lesson to be gleaned from this is that common courtesy is a rarity. The business world appreciates the fact that courtesy is not only the lubricant that keeps the machine properly functioning but from a financial viewpoint pays big dividends. I have very recently read of a woman whose principal business is built upon teaching courtesy to the personnel of some of the large companies in our land. If cold and aloof heads of large concerns appreciate this trait in its employees, it is possible that we should be brought to a realization of the value of this common but now little prac- ticed virtue. Don’t any of you people think that when you are pushing and crowding each other down over the stairs in your mad scram- ble to get to the front in the “chow line’’ that you are practicing courtesy. All you are trying to do is to get a more advantageous position. When I see a courteous young person, I invariably say to myself “that person must have a wonderful mother.’’ Now if this deduction is correct and people are judging the kind of a mother that we have from our actions, it behooves us to place our best foot foremost.
