ETIQUETTE IN PRUSSIAGovernment Rules That Station Master Should Salute Women Subordinates First
A 2nd Debut Article from 2016
By Associated Press. BERLIN, Oct. 21.— Among the odd decisions published today Is that of the Prussian Railway Administration on a point of etiquette advanced by a station master on the Lower Rhine, who asked for a ruling as to whether the young women subordinates in his office should not recognize him first on the street instead of waiting to be saluted according to the prevailing customs. The government directed the station master to salute first. The principal of the girls’ high school at Saarbruecken inquired of the provincial government if she has authorized to forbid the young women to wear corsets during gymnastic exercises. The government authorized their rigid prohibition.- Los Angeles Herald, 1905
