Obviously, some of the rules are dated (when to stand, when to sit, when to take off your hat, and the lovely rule 12 "what happens at school, stays at school") but a lot of this is just solid, good advice. I was not expecting that.
the facsimile leaves a little to be desired, and some letters are quite hard to make out, but in no case was I unable to decipher a word, and it's a short little tome, so not too difficult to work through. ( )
