THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
One word more, and we have done 
with this unpleasant subject. Some 
hoys get their mammas or an elder 
sister or female cousin to write letters 
for them. This is a shockingly lazy 
habit, and we doubt much whether we 
ought to attend to any such communi- 
cations in future, as our doing so is 
an encouragement to idleness. If these 
boys abstain from writing their own 
letters because their writing is so bad 
or they cannot spell, these are excel- 
lent reasons for trying to improve their 
spelling, and their hand-writing, but not 
for employing secretaries.
