This book is written especially for young men. It has to do with everyday people and their everyday doings. Its pages are often humorous, because facts learned with laughter are most enjoyed and best remembered.

But for all its mirth, the book has a thoughtful side, too into light of day, where every reader can size them up according to his own interests and needs.

The book is of picker-size so that it may be an out-of-school companion as well as a textbook for the classroom. In classroom or out, its purpose remains the same - to encourage an ever-increasing  respect for the common sense of courtesy.
