IN the course Of inhuman events
the manuscript came back, accompa-
MED by q printed slip expressing
stereotyped ~egrets. The spinster au-
thor was surprised-not because her
story was not accepted (she was q
modest soul), but because a manu-
script so warmly and personally So
licited had been SO coidly and imper-
sonally returned.
Thousands of authors have had
like experience, and have marveled
thereat. It is one of the mysteries
of literature, which we have promised
to unravel. This is the explanation:
In order to obtain steady supply
of the bright, cheerful, and amusing,
and strong, virile, and dramatic sto-
ries which they present monthly, the
editors of the magazines find it neces-
sary to circularize the country, so 10
speak. Clipping bureaus supply the
names of people who write, and to
each of these the Office boy dis
patches a cordial Wont you send US
something? letter.
Unfortunately (for the feelings OF
the author) the stories which arrive
in response to a warm and personal
solicitation are not passed upon by
the Office boy, but by the editor IN
his sanctum, who disdains to be aware
of just who those ladies and gentle
men are to whom the Office boy has
DISPATCHED his touching missive, and
of course the editor wouldn't abate
one lot of his cold formality to send
ers of unsolicited manuscripts
Suggestion to Publishers: Why not
let the Office boy return the manu-
scripts with an elegant "follow-up let
ter? Editors should be quite up to
date. as we'll as business men who ad'

State Laboratory.

Commissioner of Health, Samuel G.
Dixon, has decided to establish as soon
as possible in connection with the De-
partment, archaeological and chemic-
al laboratory. This will enable the
physicians of the State and especially
those in the rural districts to take ad-
vantage of the most advanced methods
OF diagnosing their cases by having
blood counts made by examinations for
the micro-organisms that produce
tuberculosis, diphtheria, typhoid fever,
malaria and other diseases.
The Health Commissioner states that
he will get the new laboratory in
operation and be ready to receive
specimens from the physicians OF the
State at as early date as possible, as he
appreciates the wonderful opportunity
for more thorough work that will be
afforded medical practitioners.

Last Wednesday morning Dir. ]. A.
Parsons conducted the chapel exercises
and gave very interesting address on
Our Blessings" He especially empha-
sized the advantages of the public
schools In the United States and par
ticularly in Pennsylvania, and compared
them with the school system of Canada.
Rev. G. n Fitzwilliam, pastor of the
Baptist church of Punxsutawney, visited
our schools on Friday. After conduct
ing the devotional exercises he gave a
very entertaining talk in which he gave
our schools high compliment by saying
that they excelled those of Punxsutaw-
ney in every respect. He spoke strong
ly in favor of literary work in the
schools, saying that the average person
received more good from the practice in
public speaking, which he obtained by
this means than from any other single
branch of study.

In order to better the literary work
of the high school, Prof. Scott called
for meeting of the Juniors and Seniors
separate from the other classes OF the
high school last Friday. He appealed
to the students for better class of lit

Suggestions were offered that the pro-
ductions be submitted to the faculty be-
fore being given that all in the school
be required to serve, and that the au-
dience give better attention to the per-
formers
A large piece of plaster from the
lower hall ceiling fell just in front of
the seniors at dismissal Wednesday
afternoon. Happily no one was injured,
although certain Junior girls vocab-

would have to pay, some of the Juniors
