THE practice of rushing into print with every little annoyance cannot be censured too severely. A rain-drop has the indiscretion to fall upon some exalted neck, an umbrella is misplaced at Memorial, a reserved book is taken out over night by an instructor, - forthwith the indignant soul seizes pen and paper and scribbles off a long tirade about the soullessness of corporations, the heartlessness of directors, or the incompetence of instructors. These effusions do some good, no doubt, but only to him who meets with such mishaps; they in no way concern the public. Real grievances, in nine cases out of ten, can be best remedied by a direct appeal to the proper authorities; a headlong dash into print not only does no good, but does much harm. Complaint in general, and unreasonable complaint in particular, gives the student the reputation of a chronic grumbler, and such a reputation is a terrible barrier to the removal of objects of complaint. We have never known a case where a kind suggestion privately to an instructor did not produce the desired effect; while we do know of many cases where even reasonable requests were refused because they appeared in print as complaints. It is therefore to be wished that those who feel that their gall must be poured out should indeed pour it out, but should keep it at least three days for their own inspection before they submit it to public gaze. After that time their own judgment will tell them what to do with it.
