To Many Dead Letters

Because there were over 13,- 900, ,OOO letters sent to the dead letter office the past year, Post master General Meyer issued an order that all postmasters in the country shall either deliver lec- lures to or otherwise furnish in- formation for school children on how to address letters rightly, and also in relation to other de- tails of the postal service. It is the postmaster generals deter. imitation that the schoolchildren shall be instructed along this line of knowledge on the postal ser
 vice, in seeing that the letters are properly and plainly addressed.
 That there is necessity for this kind of action is shown by the volume of business transacted by the dead letter office. During the past year 13, 145, 192 pieces of mail matter was sent to the dead letter office because the pOstoffi- ces were unable to read them.
