Harris resenting an ar} cle on the manners of American children. Mr. Harris wants you to apologize to Southern chil- dren. Perhaps it might be well for you to apolo- gize to Georgia children, of them I know noth- ing. But of other Southern children of to-day I beg only to say that the tendency among them all is to be disrespectful and rude. I do not believe it is their desire, but the modern child is taught an equality. They treat every man and woman as their equal, answering with no shade of re- spect in their tones; arguing with grown people: interrupting serious conversations to give their opinion, and so on, ad infinitum. I love children dearly, and come in almost daily contact with children of rich and poor, high and low, children of our highest profes- sional men, our most successful business men, and our day laborers, and the tendency is the same, without distinction of class or clime. (I have never met Georgia children, so leave them out of the question.) I am a Southerner by birth and breeding; have lived in the South all my life and love it—but not with a blind love that prates of the chivalry of the Southern man as superior to the chivalry of any other part of the country, nor of the politeness of the South- ern children, There are many exceptions, and here and there one meets a refreshingly sweet, gently bred child, but I believe they grow North, East and West .as well as in the South, and I kxow the bad mannered ones live in the South as well as in the North, West and East. Yours very truly, C. Huserr. New Onttaxs, La, DEceamen 1, 1908.
