Suppose, instead of taking care of things in this way, some boy should carelessly throw things about, mar the furniture, or trample down the grass?
“He would be a bad boy.”
“Nobody would like him.”
“If he kept doing it, perhaps he would be sent home.”
If he kept doing it when he knew better, and when he was told not to, what would you say of him?
“That he was disobedient.”
And what may be said of one who neglects the wishes of others?
“That he is impolite.”
Yes, or ill-bred. If pupils take good care of everything belonging to school, what can be said of them?
