Ten Suggestions For
R. +. D. Patrons

You will be doing your carrier
great favor II you always stamp your
mail before putting same in box. or
use government stamped envelopes,
and always put return upon left hand
corner. This will guarantee delivery
or return of letter.
2 II you should not happen to
have stamps or stamped envelopes
wrap the amount up in paper. remem-
bering that in cold weather if the
money is put in the box loose. the
carrier has TO take of his gloves or
mittens to get hold of these loose PEN
MES.
3 Always put stamp upon the up
per right hand corner. II you should
spoil government stamped envelope
your carrier or postmaster will redeem
it with stamps or postal cards.
When addressing letter to one
who is not regular patron of rural
route or postof6ce you should mark
on the envelople in whose care the let
ter or package should go.
5 In addressing your letters do
not write above the middle of the en-
velope. as the address may be partly
blurred by being struck with the post
marking stamp.
6 In regard to boxes help your
carrier by having a good one in a
good easy place to drive up to, and
always have your mail ready.
If you have visitors who are ex
pecting mail, you should give the car
rier their names.
8 Any mail matter deposited in
box is subjected to ordinary postage
rates.
9 Packages should be we'll wrapped
and securely tied. and all valuable
letters and packages should be regis
tered, which costs cents in addition
to regular postage. This insures safe
delivery and return receipt.
10 The mail boxes are potected by
the government. Any one tanApering
with them not interested should be
reported at once to your carrier or
postmaster.

PUGET SOUND COMMERCE

lowing striking figures showing the
rapid increase of foreign trade:
"The foreign trade of the Puget
Sound district showed an incrsase q,
about IS. 600. 900 in 1907 over 1906
and was nearly $4,000, 900 large,

"DOn'ts'' for the Eyes

A good old doctor who is very much
exercised over the number Of girls
whom he sees wearing glasses has
written few ''don't s' for girls who
hate spectacles. Here they are:
Don't read, study or sew lying
down.
Keep your body strong. for when the
body weakens the eyes weaken. This
is the reason Of failing sight in old
age.
Don't use the eyes when very tired
or weak from sickness; they are the
most sensitive Of our organs. and after
q certain point Of fatigue or weakness
has been reached it is injurious to any
part of our body to continue to strain
it.
Don't allow the light to fall OF
your work or your book from the
front; have it slightly back and from
the side, preferably the left.
Don't forget that hot water is the
most eff1cacious in case of infamma-
tion or tiredness. Bathing for about
ten minutes with water as hot as you
can bear your elbows in is almost q
sure relief.
Don't read newspaper on troll
ley car.

TO BOND OR NOT TO BOND

To bond or not to tond. that is the
question.
It is announced that the school
board has decided to submit at the
school election next month PROPOSE
ton to bond the district for $4,000
for the purpose of providing addition
al school room. either by adding to
the present building or erecting an
other one. 1t ia represented that the
money can be secured from the state
ut q per cent interest. with the prin-
cipal payable at the option of the dis
trict. A levy of one mill upon the
present assessed valuation OF the dis
trict would provide trifie more than
enough to pay the interest and another
mill would provide sinking fund
sufficient to redeem the bonds.
Before the question is submitted it
might be q good idea for the board to
publish statement of the present
financial condition of the district,
showing the expenses this year as
compared with last year. the increase
of enrolment and the net balance of
cash on hand. Taxpayers will natur-
ally want to be shown good reason for
voting upon themselves any heavier
special school tax than they are now
paying, the present tax being forty
per cent more than it has ever been
before. Notwithstanding an increase of
about thirty per cent in the assessed
valuation of the district. The people
of the district would doubtless be in
terested also in learning what has
been accomplished toward organizing
a Union High school. The board being
committed to the policy of ''taking
the public into its confidence, we
trust that these suggestions will not
be regarded as untimely on unreason-
able.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING NEEDED

A prominent official OF the National
Society for the Promotion OF Indus
trial Education sums up the present
situation as follows: Germany
trains it's youth for vocation. The
United States trains it's youth for a
Job" This does not sound pleasant.
but it is very largely true and is be-
ginning to be realized more and more
as feeble efforts in q contrary direc
ton are being made. There are
about seventeen million boys and girls
in our public schools. all but about
600. 900 of them in the primary and
grammar grades. In the professional
schools there are about 16O, 600 stu
dents. many of whom will turn out
failures.
The Islander is glad to give space
and its cordial endorsement to th-
following comments upon these state
ments from the Bellingham Reveille:
"By far the greater number of
young boys in this country must leave
school before they are seventeen. 1t
is a pity. They ought at least to have
a good secondary education, mean
ing such as is given in the best high
schools of the cities and towns and
in few rural districts. But in the
present condition of affairs this Is i'm
possible. What does this great mass
of boys do when let loose from school?
What are the boys fitted to do? Not
one in hundred is fitted particular
~ for anything. Some of them go
into Offices and become clerks, where
their highest expectation is fifteen
dollars or SO week. Some of them
go into factories, where the average
wage is no more and often less Some
of them attempt to become mechanics
and for various reasons have little op-
portunity to advance. The most that
the average boy can expect to do in
the average factory is to learn to do
some particular thing very we'll. We
have few opportunities for teaching q
boy to be an all around mechanic. and
since we have abandoned the appren-
tice system it is not easy for boys to
learn the trade they desire. Our
manual training schools are we'll
enough so far as they 60. but they are
mere beginnings.
Gin Germany it is totally different.
The authorities there undertake to
give every boy trade and to find
him place in which to follow it.
Statistics for last year show that only
about one per cent of the boys who
graduated from the public schools
were not given places of some sort in
which to earn living and they had
previously been prepared for the
special work they undertook. Ger
many is handicapped in many ways.
but is making industrial progress
rapidly. In our own country we are
not thorough in our training. Our
boys need to be taught to work intel
ligently with their hands,
