Field Trip Etiquette Plea

1930's school children — “The majority of students know how to conduct themselves, but the hopeless minority group can make or break the school's reputation when off-campus.”

Filed Under “Conduct”

Emily Post has written many books on etiquette but it remains for some enterprising person to write a book on how students should conduct themselves on field trips. When a student is on a field trip, he himself carries a part of the school's reputation and it behooves him to act like a gentleman. 

The majority of students know how to conduct themselves but the hopeless minority group can make or break the school's reputation when off-campus. Those few students who act like rowdies and respect the property of no one should remain at home when the class makes a field trip. — The Corsair, 1938
