MODEL ADDRESS.

More than thirteen million pieces
of mail matter were sent to the divi-
sion of dead letters last year from
the several postoffices of the country,
the larger proportion of which could
not be delivered because OF careless
ness in writing addresses. In order
to reduce this great amount of mail
which goes wrong the postofiice de-
partment has Just insugurated An
educational campaign. and hundreds
Of thousands Of copies of model form
of address for letters have been sent
out.
The local postofiice has sent large
quantities Of these forms to the teach.
ers in the public schools who have
been asked to assist in the work by
not only teaching the children how
to address letter correctly. but by
sending instruction to the parents by
means of the model forms. While
1t would not seem that necessity for
such instruction should exist, the
fact that SO large number of pieces of
mail are annually misdirected. goes
to show that large proportion of
the people require education in this
particular. and the model form
should do much to reduce the mum
