A man can always forgive a woman for her sina; it's her folkes that shock his tender sensibilities, and leave him disenchanted, — of Schools Maxwell wastes his time answaring trivial letters, concerns himeelf too much with minor matters and “bosses” the whole school system, correspondence and all. The Bureau has read, classified and criticised four thousand letters in the School Department and doubtless knows. Still—any man who hae handled the sffaire of a big business or administrative office knows how hard it is to say just what is trivial. In the case of an institution or business which serves the whole public and which is constantly a fair object of puttic interest and qiticism, letters, queries, complaints often reveal weaknesses end indirectly far-reaching improvements thet the executive Head could ill afford to miss. Many @ man of vast responsibilities ~ and interests insists upon running his eye over the petty correspond- « ence. Nobody knows how many seeming intuitions and flashes of genius in divining public needs and subtle changes of public temper « may have come from exactly such material. Again, every business man knows the value of answering as many \, letters as possible, paticnlerly the discontented, with the personal, | authoritative note. A trifling complaint promptly end fully an- { awered fades into nothing. Unanswered or pat off by a clerk, it may © gtow into a serious business. Nothing is so dangerous as to let a grievance go around unattended to. Y Superintendent Maxwell may have no knack of picking out the meaty letters, But “bossing the correspondence” in the sense of Jetting no useful sign of public feeling or moans of incressing public confidence get by the watchful eye of the man who runs the shop has been a habit of the most successfal executants. — OUTLANDISH WAYS!

A lawyer says that a divorcee is not really entitled to the appellation of “Mra.” Why not? If she hasn't carned it, who on carth has?
