into effect canadas dead letter office it evidently has never occurred to the general pub lic that if everyone who writes a letter would take the simple precaution of writing or having printed a return address on the upper left hand corner of the envelope there would be no need of a dead letter office at ottawa itcouid go out of business at once as it is it costs our government hundreds of thous ands of dollars every year to handle the million of letters that go astray and that of course takes no account of the losses to the senders and the intended recipients through business letters

for school essays one of the burdens which teachers and pupils bear throughout each school year is the matter of com- ositions or essays in some schools nothing is more dreaded in others nothing is so cheerfully un dertaken much depends upon the teaching and perhaps still more upon the subjects assigned for practice writing english the case against such sub jects as contentment spring the pleasure of giving and whateverit is right is not so de cisive and easily made outas some persons would have it to be sure the result must always be the production of ancient and timeworn commonplaces yet they will not be old nor threadbare to the writ ers but must be the product of their own thought and therefore original it is always to be remember ed that the object of writing compositions is to stimu late thought as well as to enable the pupils to acquire facility in the use of language it may be that the modern system takes too little account of the use fulness of thought upon abstract subjects it leans to the practical and endeavoors to render the task of wrijmg compositions jittractiveand easy there are persons who believe that just as good exercise can be secured with an axe and a wood saw as with a pair of dumb bells in a gymnasium so we believe that just as good school essays can be written oh subjects of local interest concerning which the pupil may secure original information and form individual opinions as on the vague and meaningless topics an excellent field for such subjects is afforded bv the opportunities for practical or esthetic improve ments in ones own town or community td the credit of the school pupils it may be said that they have done much actual work in improving appear ances and sanitary cond ns in many places and in towns where they have done nothing
