M.\Rl'l`lM|'] lll\`lU.\' f- The address ,defimred by J. H.f_Los- an, K. C.,‘ex-i\4.§rl’;,"? before the Teachers Convention on Thursday evening, a report of which appeared in Saturday’s Guardian, was an able eflort eloquently and forcefiil- ly deliveredand contained much I whole- some food for thought _

Co-oper'atio`n and union are appealiiig"

subjects; both have much to commeni them and the advantages of the former cannot be too strongly emphasized. The union of separate bodies or separate inter- ests is another matter and must always be approached with caution. .1 The union that makes for strength pre- supposes identical interests, identical aims, and, relatively at least, identical conditions. These factors are, in whole or in part,-absent in the case of the three Maritime Provinces. Prince Edward Is- land is a self contained community; every acreiof its land is privately owned; it levies the taxes for its immediate requirements, which are comparatively few; it has no in- dustries` employing large numbers of men and women. Our sister privinces, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, are different- ly situated. Each has its crown lands, its mines, its industries employing some thou- sands of men; each has its system of tax- ation and a tax that would stagger the tax payers of this province. These and other differences would have to be, in, the lan- guage of the school books, reduced to a common denominator before any amalgi mation of legislative interests could be successfully orsatisfactorily achieved. ` That it`would be of immense value to the three provinces to co-operate in all the in- terests which they have in common, and these are not a few, will be admitted by all. There are trade and educational and evci political interests which they share in coin mon and which should receive frequent airings and mutual exchanges of opin- ion upon froin our public men and at con- venient centres. There is less of this inter- communication than there ought to, and such addresses as that given by Mr. Logan would if more frequently given do much to strengthen and harmonize the relations between these sister provinces by the sexi which have so much in common. The rea- sons, however, which existed in 1771 for the separation of Prince Edward Island from Nova Scotia of which it had hitherto been an outlying district, still exist in even greater measure.

It is only in the occasional novel and in

the movies that we find a girl-from th slums adopted in a luxurious home, educ- ated, respected and finally married and liv- ing happily ever afterward. It reads Wel`; in the novel, looks beautiful and inspiring. in the movies; we shed tears or applaud vociferously as the waif encounters hard- ship or overcomes temptation, and whe'i the chapter or the film is ended we Hn _l ourselves virtuously blessing the means bv which the poor outcast child was snatched from a _life of poverty and crime.

There are some instances, outside of the

novel and of the cinematograph, in which this has occurred but the curious thing about it all is that in real life, right around our feet, in every city in Canada, right here in Charlottetown, there are scores of similar ‘lbrands in the burning and we make little if any effort to pluck them out. The transformation from slumdom to respectability and useful- ness, reads .well in the novel, looks well in the pictures, appeals to all that is best in us but we find it difficult to place our hand on the touselled head of incipient crimin- ality or take hold of the dirty hand of the slum child. And yet if these are to be pluck- ed from the burning it must be by the hu- man touch, by the _ warm hand clasp of friendship and love. Neither tracts, nor preaching, nor prayer, neither police sur- veillance nor curfew bells will lift or drive

ment and_'their environment inevitably leads to vice and criminality. What are we going to do about it?\ We may evasively

these human waifs out of their environ- Men’s straw hats are_ the subject of the

ask “Am I my brother’s keeper? forget- _inew styles next season,to turn out no m`ore

_ d that the answer he received was “The v ice of tliy-~brother’s`blt8d,_,_~,.i;iqq_th: to _ _ , .rp “ 'r .-_

How many millions there are of boys and

girls who are wandering.along.on.\th6_!\ar-ff _ row borderland between vice and respecta- bility waiting for the outstretched hand 'from _either side to draw them down or up, while, we, our brotherskeeper, walk un- heedingly by, we who could give the hand that would, if outstretched consistently. mean to these waifs the difference between ‘heaven and hell. °

We note -that a conference is to be held

in this city early in October_in connection with the Canadian movement for co-oper ation in girls’ work. The design, we under-I stand, is to organize willing workers air.- _oqng girls and train them for community and social work, for active and practicii leadership in Chrstian work.~'l‘hcre is mum* to be done, much that\can be done in giv ing proper direction to social, church and community activities. Some of the leadin " women workers in Canada will be present who will tell of what _ is being done else where in this connection and what ste; 1 are proposed for further development. The need of such work is apparent to all; the indifference with which even the Christia ~ church regards those “outside the pail” ; also apparent to all. If our young people, girls and boys, can be led to take a more serious view of their own pur- lpose in life, a more charit- able view of the unfortunate, much may be hoped for from the conference. OF those to whom much has been given much shall be required and, we take it, the ap- peal of the conference will be largely 1 » these in the hope that they may not onl fy profit spiritually and morally themselve iii but be able to stretch forth a hand for th i betterment of those who are less favour- ably circumstanced. r ’ _

A contributor to Pen and Ink remarks

that there never was a better time thai now for every business institution to give attention to a plan for holding-the custom - e_r. This means a follow-up system, in whic 1 one of the very first steps is the compiling' and maintenance of an active and inactive list of customers. Far too _few business men stop to enquire why customers be- come inactive. _One big retail specialty house found in che'cking back its sales record for eighteen months, that out of a total of 2800 elite customer names, 300 hai disco_ntinued__ buying. A carefully pi'epare.l. letter of enquiry called forth 196 replies, ,whic‘h, when tabulated, showed -only one complaint which had to do with merchan- 'dise-all.t‘he other customers had discon- tinued because of dissatisfaction with ser- vice in its broad sense-indifference of salesmen, tricky methods, slow deliveries., etc. This wasa startling revel‘ation,and the house promptly inaugurated a permanent policy of carefully following up all inactive accounts. Customers change from one house to another for petty' reasons, and mistakes and dissatisfaction are bound to occur. One of the most essential' things is to train the claim and credit men in the art ofletter writing. “If you want to get a shock, send for the files of your claim and adjustment department, and read over the carbon copies of the day’s correspondence.” If your house is not an exception you will find cold, curt, blunt. “You-'have-no-right-- |to-complain” letters eight paragraphs long, written to customers that perhaps have been buying from you for years- “seven paragraphs devoted to reasons why the customer should not get an allowance, and probably winding up with an eighth paragraph giving him the allowance. And by the time the customer has read the sev- en paragraphs he is so mad that he doesn’t want the allowance.” Such letters do more

partment can repair in years.

play, delivery problems, perfection of i ii store orgnniza-tion, and other inter’ ostiug topics were discussed.

In addition, the three reel Essnny

feature film, “Troulbles of a Merchant and linw to Stop Them," wus given if for the firsit time in this city. This ‘ film was pre»p'i1i‘ed for the _National (lash Register Comipauy at ii cost of $30,000, and has been shown before commercial bodies, coniventions, and other organizations from coast to coast.

In an interesting manner the film

tells the story of Mr. While. zi gro- cer. who has been brought to the verge of bankruptcy through out of date business methods. The reasons for his lack of success liecomc-nppnr cnt as the film unfolds the story. 1 His clerks were indifferent, his goods ` arran-god in a poor manner, his sys- toni thoroughly disorganized. Oth- er trou<hles also beset him, and, as ii Couseuueiice, the grocer was in des- pair. But one d-ay n change came in his career, and by the pistullation of modern business methods he be- came pros-perous._ The manner in which he turned thc tide in his fa_ vor proved an interesitliré and cduca tional story to every one.
