Miles Medial Co., Elkhart, Ind 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 SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBR 16, 1909. 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.

Va. O 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, T. E. HUNT. Friar Lands Agent.

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.
