Touch not, nor look upon the books or writing of another, unless the owner invite or desire it.
Come not near when another reads a letter, or other paper.
Let your countenance be moderately cheerful, neither laughing nor frowning.
To look upon one in company, and immediately after whisper to another, is unmannerly.
Whisper not in company. Be not froward and fretful among your equals, but gentle and affable.
If you cannot avoid gaping, shut your mouth, with your hand or handkerchief before it, turning the face aside.
AMONG OTHER CHILDREN.
As near as may be, converse not with any but those that are good, sober, and virtuous: “Evil communications corrupt good manners.”
Reprove your companions as often as there shall be occasion, for wicked actions or indecent expressions.
