ASSISTING COLLEGE BOYS

(To the Editor.)

Sir—After sitting for the matriculation examination, a college boy applied to his headmaster for a reference. Among other qualifications he was good at mathematics, and the headmaster told him of a suitable vacancy of which an insurance office had advised the college. The boy applied for and obtained the position. The manager has thanked the headmaster for his courtesy in recommending the applicant. The boy has found congenial and suitable employment in which he is very happy, and his parents arc grateful to the headmaster and his assistants for the interest taken and they in turn will no doubt obtain a glow of satisfaction from good work well done. So everybody is pleased! Everybody is satisfied. No ostentation! No fuss!; Just* a plain job of work well done at no cost to the community, but from letters appearing in the papers there is a movement afoot to add this service to the list of things forbidden. The writer has no wish to enter a newspaper controversy; he has no axe to grind, being merely as he signs himself a -

GRATEFUL PARENT.
