Since Monday was President’s Day, a day to honor the birthdays of Presidents Washington and Lincoln, we wanted to talk about a list entitled “George Washington’s 110 Rules for Civility.” It’s based on a set of rules composed by French Jesuits in 1595 which would then form the basis of a young man’s character education in the 18th century. Although some seem stuffy and funny by today’s standards, most of the rules are still amazingly applicable as a modern code of personal conduct. We discuss several of them in this week’s episode. The complete list is in the public domain and you’ll find it at www.mountvernon.org.
