RURAL DELIVERY
AIDS THE FARMER
Institution Grows Rapidly in Thir
teen Years.
On October 1, 1909, the thirteenth
anniversary of the installation of ru
ral delivery in the United States will
b(> reached. In commemoration of the
event some suitable: recognition is
suggested as no branch of the postal
service has had so recent a beginning
with equally remarkable results.
The honor of the first attempt to
test the practicability of such a rad
leal broadening of the operations of
individual delivery rests with five
routes from three postoffices in West
Virginia.
The Innovation was so great that
it took some time for the people to
be benefited to realize the advan
tage in store for them, By the end
of the third fiscal year after this
service at an annual expenditure
of $150,012. The convenience, as
well as ethical benefits incident in
this public utility were now so force
fully demonstrated that expansion
went on rapidly, the cost aggregating
up to tlie present time no less than
$170,000,00. The 40,804 carriers
in covering their 40,919 routes tra
verse more than 1,000,000 miles ev
ery secular day of the year, except
ing New Year, Washington’s birth
day, Memorial or Decoration, Inde
' pendence, Labor and Thanksgiving
days, or the .Monday following should
those days fall on the Sabbath. In
I making their daily round more than
; 20,000,000 rural residents are serv
ed.
In looking back over what has
been accomplished during the brief
period of its existence it is apparent
that the rural delivery service is a
great public convenience. liesuits
are the best, commendation, and
these are sustained by unanimous
expressions of approval from patrons.
From an ethical point of view the
utility of the service is evident in
many ways. It brings the rural
population into neighborly relation
ship and promotes intercourse with
near-by communities anti through
them with cities great and small,
and with the world at large.
As a commervcial proposition facil-
■ ities are afforded to keep tab on the
. markets as to prices of products and
' commodities for sale or purchase.
In tills respect farmers especially
I find themselves greatly benefitted by
constant knowledge of the conditions
of trade.
1 In an economical sense the public
' Ims derived advantage from the im
I provement and maintenance of roads
i over which rural delivery routes are
laid, this being a condition prece
| dent to the establishment of mail
I facilities. In addition good roads in
sure greater frequency and regularity
of mail delivery. With respect to
roads since th- inauguration of this
service, it is estimated that more
than $75,000,000 has been expended in
rebuilding, repr.irs, and mainte
nance.
As means of education, the widen
ing of the utilization of the mails
by rural free delivery has largely
extended the circulation of local and
metropolitan newspapers, magazines,
and general literature, besides hav
ing proved a stimulus to more ex
tended personal correspondence.
It is further mentioned as one of
the incidents of the service that
since the introduction of the rural
'mail facilities is shown in a sum
: tive of the administration has be
' come popular among residents in the
rural districts, developing their ap
' predation of the benificence of the
I government at Washington.
The popularity of rural delivery
among farmers and others living
' away from communities having city
j mall facilities xis shown in a sum
mary of this service that Postmaster i
I General Hitchcock ordered to be pre
i pared in the office of the Fourth As-
Isistant Postmaster General up to Au
I gust, 1909.
This exhibit gives 40,919 routes in
'operation served by 4<>,(>B4 carriers
Os the total number of routes 622
are tri weekly. In bringing the
service up to its present high state
of organization and efficiency 60,183
petitions were received and investi
gated. Os this number 17,163 were
; reported upon adversely.
At the close of this report 1.432
petitions were pending, of which 202
have been assigned for establish
ment between August 16 and Octo
ber 3, 1909, leaving 1,230 unacted
upon.
The seeming discrepancy between
the number of rural routes and car
riers is accounted for by instances
where there exists tri-weekly ser
vice on more than ot.e rural route
of an office, one carrier serving two
routes, alternating each day.
The state having the largest num
ber of rural routes at this date is
Illinois, 2,284. There are seven
states with more titan New York
(1.841, first in population. and
(1,841,) first in population. and
four with more than Pennsylvania
(2168.) second in number of in
habitants.

THE FARM AND THE SCHOOL.
The Little Red Schoolhouse has
been glorified in rhyme and eugolized
in speech and prose. Great men came
from its portals and a noble spirit of
patriotism was bred upon its_uncom
fortable benches. But the Little Red
Schoolhouse was a very crude home
of wisdom. It is blessed in American
history because many who achieved
greatness gained their early school
ing there. But these were few as
compared with the numbers who at
tended. The mighty would have suc
ceeded in spite of the shortcomings
The average was not lifted.
The Little Red Schoolhouse has
been undergoing a revolution in meth
od these 30 or 40 years. It. must ex
perience a greater change shortly.
The department, of agriculture is wid
ening its interests to include the coun
try schools. It hopes to improve the
ordinary courses of instruction and
to go farther, to bring up boys and
girls with a higher respect for farm
life and a broader knowledge of its
opportunities. Professor Willett M.
the assistant secretary, says:
The schools must bend their ener
gies more clearly to training for all
the specific vocations. A few will
perceive the advantage and meet the
requirements of this new develop
ment unaided; all must have the op
portunity to do so, Our industries
have reached the time of close spec
ialization and our schools must fol
low. They should lead. In our great
manufacturing industries the need of
trained artisans and the wisdom of
giving to our American youth the
opportunities of the higher paid
technical trades, instead of reserv
ing tills work for foreigners train
ed in schools abroad, are leading in
the establishment of trade schools, of
ten with funds supplied by employ
ers.—Toledo Blade.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM
THE FAR-AWAY PHILLIPINES
Imus, Cavite, P. I.
The Summerville News:
Will you kindly allow me a little
space in which I shall try to give
expression to some thoughts arous
ed by reading your paper?
In the first place allow me to say
that you are now publishing one of
the best county papers I have seen.
You are putting things in it that are
worth while. Every article on good
roads, on good schools, and on all
public improvements help to bring
these things to your people. You
are wisely publishing articles from
other papers which will be an ad
vantage to your subscribers to know,
and leaving out those things which
are better unknown. But of course,
wiiat I most enjoy is your breezy
local news.
It is hard for me to express the
thoughts aroused by reading the
names of the applicants for teach
ers’ license published in your paper.
There is Lottie Thacker, Pearl Wood,
Gordon Baker and Paul Thacker,
all whom were mere children when I
left Menlo to take up the trail of
fortune in this far-away, if not for
eign, land. It is not possible for me
to think of these applicants as be
ing young men and women. It seems
but yesterday that they were gather
ing at the Menlo school seeking what
it seems that they have attained, at
least to some degree.
A more lovable, studious and per
severing group of children never as
sembled in any school than attend
ed the Menlo school. I have been
, trying to follow the careers of the
several students who were in at
tendance while I was there. They
all seem to be doing well and, what
is more to their credit, no one of
them, so far as I know, has ever
done a dishonorable thing. Menlo
should be proud of her young peo
ple. That handsome new school
building is proof that she is proud
of them and is determined to make
the next ones as good, and better
equip them for life. The people of
Menlo are to be commended for do
ing their duty in providing education
'al facilities for these bright, noble
boys and girls.
It is hoped that these young peo
ple were successful in passing the ex
amination and that they will prove
to be as good teachers as they were
students. We shall not presume to
offer them advice in teaching, but
if they find that the work is not
suited to them or they to the work,
they should stop as soon as possible.
If they find that they do like the
work, then prepare to take it up
as a life work. The teaching pro
people using it. as a stepping stone.
‘ session is suffering greatly by young
■ The state is largely to blame for
salaries is offered to induce a young
ffiis as not enough in the way of
person of ability to take up teach
ing as a life work.
Some of the girls and boys have
I gone into the matrimonial profession.
| That is a noble calling also, and one
! which few can resist if called by the
proper one. I look upon the mat
rimonially inclined young people with
more indulgence than formerly. In
fact I fear that it may become a per
sonal matter. I advise every one to
I try It once at least. You see it is
' the one who has no experience who
is best prepared to give advice.
Greetings to all the good people of
Chattooga county. It rejoices me to
know of your prosperity. Greetings
to Col. Wesley Shropshire who prov
!ed such a good friend of Menlo in
! her efforts along educational lines.
1 would be delighted to see all ■ my
former pupils. The Wyatt girls who
: studied so diligently and under such
difficulties at times. Annie Rambo.
! Edna Martin, Effie Martin, Willie
McWhorter, Lena Baker, and all the
others too numerous to mention, 1
think of you all and some time hope
to look you all in the face again.
Have quit teaching but have not lost
interest in educational matters. The
I’hillipines is not a bad place, but
it is not as good a place as Georgia.
Very truly,

WAR IS PREDICTED
Germany and Great Britain May
Resort to Arms.
Winnipeg, Manitoba. —Lord North
cliffe, owner of the London Times,
in an interview here predicted war
between Germany and Great Britain.
He said in the Krupp works alone
one hundred thousand men are work
ing night and day and on Sundays
preparing for war.
Lord Northcliffe said'!
“I will make the suggestion with
all respect to the Canadians who are
investing their money and labor in
constructing railroads and building
grain elevators, that they keep an
eye on European affairs, and begin
to figure out why it is all the ship
building yasds in Germany are busy
constructing rapid cruisers and first
class battleships, and why it is that
Krupp’s works have increased their
hands to over 100,000 men nearly
tlie population of Winnipeg?”
His conviction is that war can on
ly be averted by most complete and
thorough preparation on the side of
Great Britain.
“Keep to the right, and keep mov
ing” was the notice displayed on a
bridge on which a disaster had occurr
ed because of the confusion of a
crowd. It is a motto that every one
might well follow. Movement, not
stagnation, is necessary for individual
progress but it must be a
movement in the right direction.
Each step taken for mother adds to
the time she will be with you to en
joy your deeds of love and to cheer
you with her smile.
A great investment, absolutely safe,
brings returns that nothing else can;
giving surplus earning power, securin
comfirt and health in your declining
years. That’s what Hollister's Rocky
Mountain Tea does. 35 cents. Tea or
