The Value of Com m as.

A Prussian school inspector appeared at the office of the burgomaster of lit- tie town to ask him to accompany him on a tour of inspection through the schools.
 The burgomaster was out of sorts, and was heard to mutter to himself, What is this donkey here again for:?"
 The inspector said nothing, but waited his time, and with the unwilling burgo- master set out on his tour. At the first school he announced his wish to see how we'll punctuation was taught.
 "Oh, never mind that" said the burgo- master. "We don't care for commas and such trifes."
 But the inspector sent boy to the blackboard and ordered him to write. "The Burgorlaster of R says. the in- spector is a donkey"
 Then he ordered him to transpose the comma, placing it after R, and to insert another one after inspector. and the boy wrote, "The burgomaster of R., says the inspector, is a donkey"
 It is probable that the refractory off cial gained a new idea of the value of "commas and such trifes. ."-London Journal of Education.
