Everyday Manners for American Boys and Girls - 1922

Advice on the wearing of jewelry found in a guide to everyday manners, written by teachers for high school students in 1922......I wonder what those teachers would think of what kids wear in school today? LOL!

"Jewelry as a rule should not be worn by young people; the excessive use of it is in very bad taste. A school ring and at the most one other ring are sufficient adornment for a girl. Necklaces are apt to be a nuisance. Earrings and fancy combs are in bad taste and tend to make the wearer look tawdry"
