RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Importance of This New Branch
the Postal Service.

Importance of This New Branch of
the Postal Service.
OF all the institutions that promote
the progress of the United States there
is no other, to my mind, that compares
in Importance with free rural mail de-
livery. Although it is scarcely five years
since the system was adopted, it has al
ready revolutionized social, business
and economic conditions in territory
covering over 100000 square miles.
Its popularity is increasing at a rate
exceeding that attending any improve
ment heretofore attempted in the post
office service and it means more in the
way of personal happiness and public
advancement than anything else Of
which / know, says q writer in Sue
cess.
The Importance Of this new branch
Of the postal service is best indicated
by the rate at which it has grown. We
began, in 1896, with an appropriation
of $4,000. For three years previous
to that Congress had made each year
an appropriation; but with declining
revenues and increasing deficits the
postottice department has been loath
to take any step that might involve
additional burdens. AS the matter Of
establishing rural routes had been left
to the discretion Of the Postmaster
General, the appropriations were un-
used.
In 1896, Congress, in making the ap-
preparation, embodied mandatory
clause; and, with much misgiving,
PostmasterGe General William l.. Will
son, in October, 1896, established the
first route, which was out Of Charles
ton, w. Va. On the first of July, 1897,
only forty-three routes We're in opera
ton. To-day there are more than 5000
routes, serving 100000 farmhouses, in
which live more than 100000 people.
1t requires some experience of life in
the country, under old conditions, to
realize what it means to these people
to be suddenly brought from an isolated
position into daily touch with the outer
world, the news and events of which
lad only sifted to them at haphazard
The territory covered by the rural
routes is equal to about 10000 square
miles, equaling in area the New Eng
land States, New York and New Jer-
sey. Eventually they will cover 1,OO0,-
900 square miles OF more. The appro.
priation for the maintenance of the
service advanced from $4,000 in 1897
to $4,000 in 1898; $4,000 in 1899;
$3.50, 900 in 1900; $1,75O,OOO In 1901.
