Wasting Other PeopIe's Time

"The other day I sought and was grannrs ed an appointment to see captain of tn- dustry," says a writer in Forbes Maga- zine, 'but when I showed up at the hour mentioned an underling was sent out to tell me to come back at a certain hour the next day. I did. I was told to come back two hours later I did. Once again I was told, in the most off, handed way, to come next afternoon at certain time. This performance was re- peated five times. Not once was the slightest regret expressed for disappoint- ing me The secretary himself usually sent out clerk to break the engage ment.
 How differently the head of another very lareg organization acted. An ap- pointment with me was made by his sec retary. Finding. an hour or so ahead of time, that this executive would not be back at the appointed hour. his sec retary called up and asked if l could come half an hour later.
 'IEverybody knows that many big men carry tremendous responsibilities and have to get through a thousand and one duties in course of a day. At the same time. no self-respecting man should per- init his secretaries to act in a way cal- oulated gratuitously to offend other peo- pie. It is just as easy to be courteous as discourteous. High-handed actions and attitudes on the part of men in high places have had not a little to do with bring nging about the hostil sentiment to- wards capital and their representatives so widely felt among the rank and nie of the people"

By Associated Pres,

Boston, June S.--Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology has placed tax on scholastic failvres. Hereafter students who fail or show @ deficiency In a study must pay s5 for each short coming. The rule has aroused protest from the undergraduates, who are sup ported by some members of the faculty.

He suggested that instruct OTIS be fined with students for each failure in their classes, if the rule Is to hold.
