litical economy. But the best of all
they are calling attention to the pro-
gress and development OF THEIR

the current events as printed in this
paper, and in all nearly a thousand
children are getting in touch with
the daily affairs of the world in this
manner through the columns of The

of the Milwaukee schools, endorses
this plan heartily in the following
letter to the publishers:

which would follow. For this reason they ar

and then hurried him from the city in an auto

succeeded in having the bill so framed that
New-York would be provided for There may
De some opposition to the appropriation when
the Dill is brought into the House. but it is be-
heved that it will be approved. Discussion Of
the appropriation for pneumatic tubes will prob
ably bring up the question of the desirability of
government ownership in view Of the tied-up
condition of the present tube service, but it is
not likely that the Postmaster Generals sugges-
ton on this point will prevail in Congress.
If the provision made in the bill goes through

IN the foreign quarter of the East Side The addi-
tlona offices TO be supplied by tube service in the

Times Square station Station and the foreign

alton of the system recommended for New-York
