POINTERS FOR THE PUBLIC
Some Suggestions from the Postmaster Good of the
Postal Service and Particularly for the Patrons
of the Postoffce.

II the superintendent in charge OF our
public schools would give instructions
such as have been given by the superiu-
tendent OF schools in Cincinnati, o., and in
other eastern cities. he would set apart a
least fifteen minutes of one school day ia
each week for black board exercise, teach
ing how to properly address letters, Civ
ing full name Of addressee and, il in city
OF free delivery, the street number, name
OF city and state in fun; careful and com
plete address for foreign letters-with al
ways a return card in the left hand upper
corner of the envelope for every letter,
always making the address as plain as
possible. No deceiving tiourlshes, Just
plain, readable inscription, complete and
full on each envelope.
such school of instruction would be of
great service TO the over-worked clerks,
who have no time TO decipher poor. un-
readable addresses. and can only throw
such letters into the mike" box. where
they await expert work, when---lf the ad-
dress cannot be read-the letter must go
to the dead letter once. The improve
ment in prompt delivery of letters re-
sulting from such instruction will be very
great, indeed, and very beneficial as
business credit to the scholar.
servants, would promptly answer the bell,
viii ie or knock OF the carrier, before
stopping to brush up the hair or TO change
the apron, they would save from one TO
three minutes tine in the delivery of the
mail and for, say sixty houses visited.
there would be a clear saving OF two
hours and this would more than enable
the carrier to reach every patron on his
route on each delivery. Whereas, as Il is
now, with many such hindrances, the
carrier is compelled TO stop snort of
the end Of his route in order to report
back 10 the postofice within a limited
time, which does not permit him under
the government law to spend one minute
more than eight hours on his work
People not reached near the end OF the
carriers route must understand that the
delay OF their neighbors in not promptly
answering the carriers call has prevented
them from receiving letters that were
in the carriers bag ready for delives-y,
Omaha daily bee., 1906-10-17

which for lack of time had to be returned
TO the office for the next days delivery
an annoying condition that cannot be
helped unless our good wives and house,
maids make special effort to quickly
answer the carriers call or provide them
selves with house boxes for the reception
OF the mail.
Business men-snybody eIse-lesirins
that their mail should be quickly and
promptly dispatched should make IL their
business to find out whether the messen-
ger or whoever is charged with the duty
of mailing their letters, deposits the mail
in the postoffice mail chutes or place their
letters in mail boxes outside Of the post
office building. Up to within I'VE minutes
of the time of turning over the closed and
locked mail bags to the drivers for de-
livery to the railroad train, every letter is
taken from the receiving table inside of
the postofice and enclosed with the ont
going mail, while the mail which is
dropped in the mail boxes cannot be col
leeted and properly dispatched for from
one-half hour to ten hours, according 10
their location.
Again, beg to call particular and sne.
cial attention to the very dangerous habit
Of piling letters-enclosed in long or short
on the top Of mail boxes in or outside or
buildings Many letters. so deposited
have been stolen by thoughtIess. wicked
boys just for the stamps
The Postofice department is not rasnon-
sible, and assumes no liability for letters
so deposited, and business firms should
issue special instructions TO their messen-
gers forbldding such careless handling Of
their mail. If there is any necessity for
larger boxes or two boxes when there is
only one, they will be provided; but il our
merchants and others sending out a large
amount Of mail would send same direct TO
the postofhee, much better service would
be rendered.
i note particularly that at certain large
ofices and bank buildings much mail is
placed on top OF mail boxes OF on a ledge
near by-all for thieves. as well as mail
collectors to carry away.

Wise Words.

Homes are beautiful only when
there are equal rights; when the
husband, wife and children re-
spect and admire one another;
where there is confidence and
trust and this can never be when
the wife and daughter are reduced
to the condition of paupers and beg
CARS. If the evil exists in the home
there should be readjustment of
affairs and each member OF the
working firm be allowed his or her
share of the income. Then the
home business will not be robbed
of the concentrated efforts of its
partners, nor will the girls and
women be looking elsewhere tor
work that will yield cash return.
