We do not intend to blame the postman who discharges his duties in a perfectly satisfactory manner. When, however, we think of the large amount of mail which passes daily through his hands, there is little wonder that occasionally letters find their way into the wrong rooms. Besides, as we have said above, the letters are frequently misdirected. Now it is only right that every man, when such mistakes occur...

Perhaps that which strikes us first in reading it is the change in the manner of governing students; considering a student a man and not a child. Even as late as 1699 the college records at Cambridge, England, show that offenders were "wipt in the buttry" with a lash, though even here was a great advance, for about a century previous we read that a certain mother gave instructions to her son's tutor to "trewly belassch...
