At chapel period last Friday the
students and teachers of the Summer
School were given another opportunity
of hearing a lecture given by one of
Washington s ablest men, Prof. w.
G. Beach. The speaker was introduced
by Prof. Chas. Timblin with the very
appropriate remark: "This is one ex-
ception to the strange truth that a
prophet is not without honor save in
his own country
The subject discussed was: "The
Menace of Unskilled Labor. - In
dealing with it. the speaker said in
part:
"There are two great streams en-
tering American industrial life: the
foreign, through immigration, and the
| domestic, or the youth of our own
country growing up and entering the
industrial arena. AS a result of these
forces, and others-as steam, steel,
coal and electricity--our nation, which
was once an agricultural country, is
going through a transition. an indus
trial revolution, and is fast becoming
an industrial nation. This industrial
change has brought with it a mental
change. Skill is the great thing
demanded and it is coming more and
more important. 1t reaches beyond
industry for it directly affects the ed
ucational, the social and the political
life of the American people and there
fore becomes a national problem.
Turning to immigration, let US ex-
anime the foreign stream that enters
our American life. In 1907 approx
mately one and quarter millions
came over to this country. OF these
SO per cent. were men, able bodied,
vet unskilled. In other words over
half of our foreign population enter
industry unskilled and therefore sub
iect to poverty. In Chicago 95 per
cent. Of the slums are foreigners in
Philadelphia SO per cent. are foreign
ers. And we have class or industrial
| hatred added TO the ALREADY great one
of race hatred.
"As to the native stock - our own
boys and girls-is it possible for them
to obtain skill? No. The old method
of becoming skilled was through the
industry itself. A man went from
apprentice to journeyman and finally
finished master, having worked at
every phase of his trade. This sys-
tenn was the economic background of
our education, the basis of thought,
and | care not whether man thinks
of books or of cloth, if he THINKS,
he is educating himself. This old sys-
TEN is practically dead. Our factory
today is specialized and does not edu-
cate. We have, too, but few industrial
schools and these reach but the small

MESSRS. LATTA AND WALLIS
TO BE MAIL CARRIERS
Local Postoffice Ready to Install Free
Delivery System Next Friday.
Few Pointers from Uncle Sans Rules and REGULATIONS
Regarding the Delivery and Collection of
the Mail

Messrs. w. II. Latta and Will
Wallis were the successful candidates
for appointment as carriers in the city
when the free delivery of mail is com
mencd OH August lst. these gentlemen
having passed the best examination.
Mr.. Wallis is now acting as clerk in
the office, but will take up the work
outside the first of the month.
" The inspector who was here several
months ago making the preliminary
investigation divided the city into two
carrier districts, each of such size that
he believed the carriers could cover
both fully twice each day without
working more than the eight hours
that carriers are supposed to put in.
1t is evident, however. that the rapid
growth of the city will demand third
carrier within a very short time, other
wise there will be some localities that
can not be included in the service,
If individual mail boxes are placed
near the door or gate, the work of the
carriers will be greatly facilitated,
and it is advised that suitable boxes
be provided. The iron boxes to be
erected in six prominent places in the
city have arrived, and win be erected
during the coming week. Mail will
be collected from these boxes twice
daily, and the hours of such collection
will be posted on the boxes.
AS the coming of the liveried carrier
will be an innovation to the great ma
jority of Pullman people, we give the
following pointers from Uncle Sam $
rules and regulations regarding their
conduct and concerning the delivery
and collection of mail matter:
Postmasters and letter carriers
should request patrons to provide col
lection and delivery boxes, which
must, however, be at the latter's ex-
pense.
The collection of mail from private
residences will be made only from the
boxes approved by the postofice depart
ment.
Carriers must not deliver mail mat
ter to partons on the street, unless
such delivery can be made without un-
reasonable delay.
Mail matter must not be delivered
by carriers in boxes or other RECEIPT
acles at premises not occupied in whole
or in part by the addresses unless ex-
pressly ordered by the postmaster.
