A BOOKKEEPER WRITES US THIS LETTER J. W. GRUMIAUX, Pres., Le Roy, N. Y.

Dear Sir:-You have my letter of the 9th, ACCEPTING AS DISTRICT MANAGER.

I am now entering on my FOURTH YEAR'S work under your agency and can say that it has paid me very well. Your plan of advertising by merchants in my local catalogue has been a suc cess each season, with a healthy increase each year in the amount of "ADS," and a corresponding increase in quantity of catalogues issued. I have had a good trade and increasing all the time; no trouble to get RENEWALS and many NEW ONES and expect to DOUBLE my volume of business in the next season. As my trade is well established the people LOOK FOR MY CATALOGUE regularly, and use them. This is one of my strong points in soliciting ADS, from the merchants of which they approve.

I guarantee each season a certain circulation, and advertisers and the public find I DO AS I AGREE. The result is that I practically CONTROL THE BUSINESS.

In this connection, permit me to say that without your PROMPT SERVICE and assistance, this would not be possible, as I have in the past found you always ready to co-operate with me in every way and am grateful for many favors rendered.

I am well pleased with my work, and I have only been doing it outside of office work (MOSTLY EVENINGS), not missing a day from my position as bookkeeper, it is that MUCH CLEAR PROFIT. Trusting our future relations will be as pleasant as in the past, which I have no reason to doubt, 1 remain,

Yours very truly, JAS. L. BRADFORD, Mgr., Branch, The Grumiaux News & Subscription Co.

NEW PROBLEMS OF GREAT CITIES

By C. F. CARTER

[graphic]

NY good housekeeper could grant the sudden request of three hungry children for a "piece" with ease, and to the entire satisfaction of the petitioners. But if the hungry ones attracted by her bounty should be increased to thirty next day she would be much worried to supply their wants. If on the third day the demand should be presented by three hundred clamorous appetites she would probably shut herself up to have a good cry, and there would be an end of the matter.

The only difference between this imaginary incident and the parallel situation actually confronting the governments of the rapidly growing cities of the twentieth century is that the municipal governments can't give up. So swift is the pace of progress that the village of today

becomes the city of tomorrow, and the metropolis of the day after. Each stage of development presents a new set of prob lems pressing for immediate solution, each of which is more complex than any which preceded it. Population grows in arithmetical progression, while the problems it thereby creates increase in geometrical progression. Chiefly these problems concern the fundamental necessities of existence, for which the struggle in great cities tends to become so fierce that even the fittest scarcely survive to the end of life's allotted span.

While it is a relatively simple matter to manage acceptably the affairs of a village of a thousand inhabitants, to direct the destinies of a municipality of a milion or more of people requires statesmanship of the highest order. Indeed, to administer the public business of a large city so as to secure the greatest good for the greatest number would seem to call
