Correct the blunders of this man, by thinking out a plan of action with
some care. If it seems best to make a public speech on politeness first,
point out instances where the school has shown excellent breeding. Cite
cases of ill-breeding with pupils in another school as the subjects.
Point out prominent persons of the community who have shown you marked
courtesies. Take up but four or five points at a time, briefly, and with
dignity so as to compel respect. A little raillery need not be taken
seriously, as it may easily conceal genuine respect for what you
propose.
