A propos de cet article

From internet privacy laws to mass media portrayals of violence, issues of behavior are a major issue in our culture. Fortunately, the solution to this problem was written a century ago by a nun named Sister Mary Mercedes. Since the early 1900s the pupils of a small Dominican School in Northern California have received a little book containing simple rules for "the art of living." Written by Sister Mercedes, a nun devoted to her students, and recently revised for the 21st century, A Book of Courtesy combines engaging epigrams from such great writers and thinkers as Homer, Oglala Sioux Chief Flying Hawk, and Eleanor Roosevelt with hints on everything from the art of introductions to suggestions on how to be a good guest, write a letter of condolence, or set a dinner table.As the world becomes increasingly indifferent to social mores, A Book of Courtesy provides a charming, beneficial way to restore good etiquette to its rightful place of honor, proving that it never goes out of style. Sr. Mary Mercedes (1871 - 1965) a Dominican nun, was a teacher for over 50 years. She wrote the original Book of Courtesy around 1910; it has been used at the Dominican Convent Upper School and San Domenico School ever since.The Class of 1950 revised the original Book of Courtesy in honor of their 50th Reunion and the sesquicentennial of the Dominicans in California. "This elegant treatise tells us how in considering the feelings of others we ennoble ourselves. Every act of courtesy makes for a kinder world."- Sharon Lebell, author of The Art of Living and co-author of The Music of Silence. …
