POSTMASTER ADDRESSES

Tells Need of Instruction in
Addressing Letters

Speech 10 Interesting.

A meeting of the city school teach
ers was held in the High school
building Monday afternoon following
school hours and the teachers listened
to an address by Postmaster NJ. b.
Dickerson. 1t was arranged some
time ago that Mr.. Dickerson was to
speak to the teachers in regard TO the
teaching OF children how to address
letters and Monday evening was the
occasion selected.
Mr.. Dickerson emphasized the need
OF instruction in addressing letters,
and in placing the return cards on the
envelope. The postmaster general
has recently issuec an order that an
effort be made TO teach children over
the country how this is properly done
Not so much for the sake of the
children Is the instruction necessary
as that Is taught in their language,
but the need is impressed in order
that the parents of the children may
also learn. Very much difficulty is
experienced on account of poorly ad
dressed letters, according to the
postmaster.
The address was most instructive
and profitable one.

and communion certificates, and will
forward more on request. Each appli-
cation must be filled out and signed by
the applicant and then certified on the
