Boys’ Rules for Success

Boys, walk upright. Be cheerful. Be polite. Be honest. Be industrious. Tell the truth. Use gentlemanly language. Buy nothing because it is cheap, unless you need it. Pay for what you buy. If you doubt your ability to pay, don't buy. When with men or your superiors, be content to listen and learn. Read good newspapers and good books. Keep good company. Keep regular hours, and keep your word. Any boy who will observe these few short precepts is sure to be respected, and nothing promotes success in this world so much as the respect of one's fellows.—Sel.
