I should like some psychologist to tell me what good,
in his
opinion, exhortation by postmark really does. I have just received a letter bearing, adjacent to the stamp of the town of origin, the legend—
A DISTINGUISHED CAREER NURSING If I were feminine and about eighteen-LI am in fact neither—would this impel me one inch towards taking up nursing as a career ?
I doubt it,; but perhaps other people react differently. Incidentally, the new stamping-face seems designed for the ordinary quarto
envelope only. My specimen happened to be on a foolscap one, and the nearest part of it was just over two and a half inches away from
the postage stamp, which was left in all its virginity to be soaked
off and used again. (But being relatively honest, I tore it in two.)
