GIVES ADVICE
Tells Pupils of School No. 6
How to Address Mail
Great Attention.
AT HIGH SCHOOL NEXT

Postmaster George H. Tice deliv-
cred the first of a series of lectures
to the pupils in school No. 6 yester-
day afternoon, which was listened
to most attentively by about 400
children from the fourth, fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth grades, together
with the teachers.
Mr. Tice spoke on the proper ad-
dressing of mail and domestic post
Office matters and drew numerous
Illustrations. He talked from 1:45
O'Clock until about 2:25, and In that
time. he says, he saw that strict dis
cipline existed in the school and this
morning, in speaking of the lecture,
he was high in his esteem for Prin-
cipal Lloyd, who, he said, deserves
credit for such an orderly school
Mr.. Tice's lecture made an impves-
sion on the minds of his listeners so
that when he had concluded the chill
dren. some not older than seven or
eight years, could make the illustra-
tions as he had done. Mr.. Tice laid
particular stress upon the proper
manner of addressing mail.
AS has been told in the NEWS,
the postmaster will lecture before
all the school children and teachers
of the city at different times. 1t is
very probable that he will deliver
his next talk at the high school.
