Good table manners in the Scottish home

A short film directed by Stanley Livingstone Russell outlining good table manners in the Scottish home, drawing a line from a mother's authority to the school dining hall. This is illustrated by close shots of children learning to eat carefully at home, then behaving well at school.

The clip is from The Scottish Screen Archive collection. For more information about this film including details of how to obtain a copy please follow this link http://ssa.nls.uk/film.cfm?fid=3952
