GOOD FOR BOYS. Believe in the brotherhood of man, and recognize no class distinct- ions. Do not be self-opinionated, but listen with deference to the opinions of others. Never utter witticisms at the risk of giving pain or hurting some- one's feelings. Be ambitious and energetic, but never benefit yourself at the ex- pense of another. Be as courteous and agreeable to your inferiors as you are to your equals and superiors. Do not bore people by telling them long, tedious stories, or by con- tinually dilating on your own affairs.
