EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Knowing it to be the policy of the Co-operative Society to obtain the greatest good for the greatest number, I should like to suggest to them, through your columns, that they make a contract with either the Cambridge or some other laundry, to do the laundry work of the college. It will be both economical and convenient; economical, because we can then deal direct with the laundry and avoid the importunings of tradesmen to buy articles which we seldom want but often have forced upon us by such remarks as "willing to accommodate you," "no hurry for the money." It is a well known fact that the laundry is used as a "draw." Many of us are thus victimized. We come here knowing little about the management of finances, run up bills which, while running, we are not troubled about, but, when obliged to meet, we often find our capital too small to cover. This policy on the part of store-keepers should receive the condemnation of the upper class-men, because, through their example, the lower class-men frequently profit, more frequently become demoralized. Let the Co-operative Society help us to do away with it.
