No one is born a gentleman or a lady. The distinction is acquired by All photographs are official U.S. Navy photos unless otherwise credited. training in childhood and continued application of the acquired virtues in adult life. The opposite vices of vulgarity, boorishness and ignorance are likewise acquired vices indicative of a self-centered and immature person. There is a great deal of difference between an uneducated person and an ignorant one-the former can and often be a gentleman whereas the latter could never acquire the distinction. Most of us at one time or another have hurt someone's "feelings" and have suffered agonies of subsequent romorse-not because of any reper- cussions-but because we cannot shake the fact that we have betrayed our own dignity as children of God. There is no such thing as being overkind.
