that both cases were hopeless. although
they thought there was n slight ray of
hope in the case Of the victim of the col

Post Card Education.

The art of letter writing has suffered

composition Is lost. and possibly. too. the
power OF thought and attention 10 not
cultivated now as it was when more and
longer letters were written. Picture post
cards have an educational value, how
ever. Not the sort used for vapid jokes
nor the other sort that appeals to the
baser side OF ones nature. but the pic
lures Of buildings. monuments noun
tains rivers and cities
The educational value OF post cards
was considered at a recent meeting Of
the German Geographical Society One
speaker proposed the use OF the cards as
a means OF instruction in the schools
The United States consul at Magdeburg
writes that in the last few months cards
have been brought into the market in
Germany illustrative of natural history,
political history and the study of the Ger
man language. These have been a.
proved by many teachers. In the schools
OF Breslau and Leipsic teachers are ex-
perimenting with post cards as a means
OF instruction. The loss in the art Of let
