To Prevent This.

To overcome the hindrance to a nat

tee of the Garfield school council has
recommended a conference of pupils,
teachers and parents, to be held some
time during this school term. The
school council has approved the plan,
and it will now be submitted to the
SA class. If the class approves, and
shows a disposition to make the meet
ing a success it will be held The
meeting, it is thought will afford the
pupils an opportunity to meet the high

and will give the instructors an oppor-

not inclined to go to high school.

D[PARTM ENT TO
TEACH Chill DREN
Postmaster Issues Circulars
Offering Advice About the
Proper Use of Mails.
TO DIRECT LETTERS.
CAUSE OF POOR FORMS OF AD-
DRESS AND OTHER INExcUsA-
BILE ERRORS.

Within the next several days all the
o circular issued by Postmaster Spe-
kenhier, giving a model form of ad-
dress for letters. One of the most Sc
Iious problems confronting the postal
department today is The lack Of knowl-
edge on the part of persons sending
letters and other packages through the
mail. They fail to address them right
or use an incorrect form. This is the
reason that the dead letter office each
year Is filled with misdirected letters
and packages. Recently Postmaster
General Meyer issued instructions to
the postmasters over the country TO
furnish a model form of address to the
teachers and the students of the
schools and have the teachers give in
6tructions as to how to address an en-
yelope in the proper form.
In complying with this request Post
master Spekenhier has had four leaf
circular printed It will be given to
every school boy and girl in public and
parochial schools This means that
some 5000 will be issued The chill
dren will be requested to study the
folders and take them home for their
parents to study, and it is hoped that
in this way that the many poorly adj
dressed letters received at the local
postoffice will be eliminated The
cost of issuing the circulars is defray-
ed by the postmaster. The circular
also urges the patrons of the postal
service to use stamped envelopes as
they bear place for the return ad-
dress thus making them much more
satisfactory than the envelopes now in
general use.
Besides giving the correct form of
address the circulars explain the diff
ferent classes of mail and the amount
of postage and office hours at the reg
1stry. money order. general delivery
and the stamp windows. The time is
also given when the mail pouches are
closed for the different trains. There
is also a number of rules and sugges-
tions.
