Notification has been received by the Post
Office Department from the postal admin

tiers having short postage are received in

from any other in the world. 1t is presumed
to be due to carelessness and ignorance Of

in postage to their letters addressed to Eng

There is a double inconvenience arising
from this carelessness. Many of the ad-

therefore sent back to the writer. when he

cents per ounce, while on foreign-bound
letters 1t is five cents per one-half ounce
1t is said to be ignorance of the difference
in the rates that causes the trouble.

But do the general, nationwide results indicate
that education is helpfh2 1t has often been
claimed that they do not. And in proof we have
the oft-repeated charge that the percentage of
iteracy among negro criminals in 1890 was high
er than that for the totaInegro population,-in
other words, that the literate negroes furnished
a larger proportion of prisoners than the litter
ate. The truth is, that of the negro prisoners
in 1890 only 1888 per cent were able to read and
write, while of the total negro population 1890
per cent were able to read and write. And in
every division of the country save one (and that
with only a handful of negro criminals) the pris-
ons testified that the literate negroes were less
lawless than the illiterate. To make the matter
plain, the following figures have been prepared
by the United States Bureau of Education. They
show the number of criminals furnished by each
100000 colored ~literates, and the number furnish
ed by each 100000 colored illiterates. according
to the Census of 1890:
