Already we have heard here and there some premature adverse criticism upon the new janitor system which seems to us to resemble the croaking of chronic grumblers. Doubtless there may be cases of genuine grievances, and with the sufferers from an such we sympathize. In general, however, the grumbling we have heard seems decidedly premature.
