Him.
The University boys from whom a
student stole small sums of money
during the fall have decided not to
push the case against him. and will
give him another shsw for his white
alley. He was caught in the act, and
when taken before DR.. Purinton. con-

A PAYING PROPOSITION
Yost has made money for Ann Arbor
School.

ANN AhBoR, Mich, December s.
Yost is even greater a success as a
money maker at Michigan than as a
coach. There may be some doubt
about the 1903 championship, but the
present season is the most successful
in financial way the University evel
bad. When all debts have been paid,
Manager Baird says Michigan will
still have between $50, 900 and S25, 00C
clear profit.
When the cause to which this money
is applied is considered, there can be
no complaint about calling Yost, with
his high salary 'paying proposition.
To Yost, winning coach, Michigan
owes the possibility of an athletic
held, with many thousand dollars
already put into its improvement,
which will surpass all American ath.
letic grounds except Soldiers field al

gan loses money. Until Yost came

Post, Office Department arouse public
attention to the general abuses ant
possible reforms in our postal servie,
the evil doors in the department vii
have Internationally performed I
service to their country.
Much has been done toward cur
ing the second class mail abuses
All alleged periodicals which arr
really books, are simply advertising
mediums. or have free circulation
or abuse the sample copy privilege
have been placed in the third class
News agents have been denied tn,
privilege of returning unsold ma, tel
at the pound rate.
The consolidation Of third and
fourth class matter into single
class at the rate of | cent for every
two ounces has been proposed. In
order to distinguish between printed
m after and merchandise which form
the two classes it is now necessary
to ask annoying questions OF those
who send the printed matter.
A bill has been introduced in
Congress providing for one cent
postage and if the correction of sec
ond class abuses is thorough, a one
cent postage would be possible
without great, or even any loss to
the Department. Such reform
would benefit the people, while the
excessive privileges in second class
matter benefit chiefly the advertiser
or publisher.
Postal checks have also been pro-
posed. For sending small sums of
money through the post office they
would be far more convenient than
the present system of money orders.
These are expensive and cause in
convenience to the sender and the
receiver. Postal checks would also
prevent the present excessive use of
stamps as money. Where small Of
fees sell many stamps for this pur.
pose the salary of the postmaster
has to be raised, and the large guam
tity of stamps which has to be kept
constantly ON hand increases the
number of robberies in small post
offices. In each case it is a loss to
the Department.
A parcels post Office would be
convenient, especially to those who
do not live near large cities. In
Germany, for instances, it is posi-
BILE to order aln ost anything by post
and to have it sent collect on deliv-
cry. Most OF the European coun-
tries have parcels post, but in
America the opposition of the pri-
vate express companies has prevent
ed its adoption. United States Sen
ator Platt is president of one of
these companies, and their influence
in Congress has been great enough
to prevent parcels post. The en-
tire Post Office Department is now
under public scrutiny and this is
the time to advocate these useful
reforms which are prevented only by
the selfishness Of private corpora
tions.

The Fall term is drawing TO a
close, and it is now possible to form
some conclusions regarding the
progress of the School Of Music. 1t
has been the most successful period
in the history OF the School, both in
numbers and financially. There
were registered l65 students taking
work in some department.
This IS the highest total ever re-
corded for one term, the highest
number previous to this being 1913,
showing netincrease RI AZ students
in one term, u remarkable condition.
The increase OF the department for
the term has met the increased
expenses occasioned by the much
enlarged teaching force. but the
school is greatly in need of SIS, 900
tor especial equipment 10 the line Of
pianos etc.
The Preparatory Piano Depart
ment started this term has been
complete success under the able
direction o; Miss Bray. Few people
can win the affections and get the
results from their work with chill
dren as Miss Bray does. She is to
be highly complimented upon the
results shown. This department
having proved "a success, will now be
one of the leading attractions of the
School OF Music and large increase
is expected on registration day Jan.

only $3.50 a garter being charged.
