"Lessons on Manners for School and Home Use" by Edith E. Wiggin is a guidance manual written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the importance of teaching proper etiquette and manners to children in various settings, including at home, school, and in public. It aims to help children develop the art of polite behavior, which is considered essential for social interactions. The opening of the manual introduces the author's
philosophy on manners, emphasizing that good behavior reflects both training and innate kindness. Wiggin argues that definitive lessons can aid children in understanding the nuances of politeness, particularly in environments where such teachings may be lacking. She suggests that lessons should be interactive and engaging, allowing children to discuss and reflect on their understanding of proper conduct. Additionally, the text highlights the necessity of consistent practice and observation in developing good manners, thereby laying the foundation for the structured lessons that follow in the book.
