American People Are
Entirely Devoid of
Manners.
By P. HOPKINSON SMITH. Artl.t Author.
C HAVE NO MANNERS IN AMERICA. WE HAD THEM ONCE.
YES, BUT WE HAVE DEGENERATED IN THAT RE
SPECT. WE NO LONGER VALUE MANNERS AS A NA
TIONAL A8SET. THE GERMANS DO NOT EITHER, BUT
THEN THEY HAVE NEVER HAD GOOD MANNERS. THEY DO NOT
KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE POLITE.
The generation I belong to in America was taught how to behave,
and it pains mo to see that we are entirely LOSING THE POWER
OF APPRECIATING POLITENESS. Politeness may be a var
niah, but it is a pleasant one at least And do not tell me there is
less sincerity about polite people. In a way there is, of course. When
an American policeman says "Go to the devil 1" he MEANS IT. The
French policeman may mean it, but he does not say it. He merely
shrugs his shoulders, and you may interpret his action as you like.
Another thing which helps to make people polite in the French
capital is the custom of never laying hands on anybody.
You never see a policeman handle a man roughly. You never see
anybody strike another person. They may threaten all they want to,
but it NEVER COMES TO BLOWS. A French policeman strikes
in self defense only.
