Please publish the following
recent order from the post office
department for the benefit !. of
the rural route patrons:
In view Of the extent to which
the practice of placing loose coins
in boxes by rural patrons has
grown. and the delay in the de-
livery and collection of mail and
the hardship imposed on rural
carriers incident thereto, you are
informed that, commencing Feb.
18th, 1910, rural letters carriers
will not be required to collect
loose coins from rural mail boxes.
Patrons should inclose coins in
an envelope, wrap them securely
in a piece of paper, or deposit
them. in a coin-holding recepta-
Gle, so they can easily or quickly
be taken from boxes, and car
riers will be required to lift
such coins and where accom-
panied by mail for dispatch, at
tach the required stamps.

If what DR.. Stiles says is to

rect, and we are not prepared to
disprove it, it is the firit record

takes risks on Southern people at

that Southern insurance compa-
MES are anxious to assume these
risks, not withstanding the death

ESSAY ON SCHOOL BELLS.
Even Though They Do Not Ring in
These DAYS.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.

From the ST Louis Globe Democrat.
Many writer's have tried to interpret
the music Of bells. Tennyson presumed
so far az to tell some of them what to
ring out and what to ring in. Poe caught
many voices In their changing. Dickens.
In Tho Chimes" makes it hard for the
poor man who had failed to hear and
understand them Alright. But none of the
clairaudient has ever undertaken to tell
US how the sound of the school bell,
which rings the knell of the long sum-
mer vacation. falls upon the ears of the
children. The clear and cooling Septem-
Der air always brings this sound upon 1t.
Louis again that we may be pardoned
for doing little specializing on our
own account, without the aid of the i'm
mortals.
The first September school bells are
funeral bells, of course. There is no
escaping that conclusion. Make the best
that we may Of them, we still cannot
deny that they toll the passing of the
days 'of freedom from class work, and
that bane of present-day school life call
ed home work" Ring out the old, ring
in the new sang Tennyson to the bells.
But the September school bells always
ring in the old. old story. Ring out
the false, ring in the true the laureate
sang. The September school bells may be
doing that now, but you could never
make the boys believe it. OF late il is
coming in vogue, perhaps for the purpose
of striking out a new line of thought, to
say that the average bog welcomes the

opening of the school year after three
months of outdoors have made him tired
Of play The thought is certainly new.
So would be the thought, should anybody
express it, that Satan has a great fond
ness for holy water. Such a thought
would not only be new but striking. but
the fact would be in no way changed by
il.
During the latter half Of the sixteenth
century Shakespeare, who had. been an
average boy himself. said of them that
they went to school with tagging feet.
They had been going there in that way
before the close of the sixteenth century,
and they have been going there in that
way since. The point, and il is of
which We should think more than we do,
is that the average boy goes. 1t is the
exceptional boy who plays truant. The
average boy goes up against something
up against il through weary weeks and
months of routine and discipline. His
sense of honor and obligation grows UNI
der the sense of duty which impels him
to do the hard thing because it is the
right thing and the thing expected of
him, and failure In which under the
standards of human life and conduct
would be degrading. In this is the MAX
ing of men. The grit and fiber which
make for good citizenship can be develop
ed in no better way. AS for the girls,
sweet wedding bells to them. If
they respond to them with more alacrity
the fact is only another. evidence of wom-
ans greater capacity for sacrifice to
duty. Not the least of the work done by
schools is their cultivation of the senses
of pride, duty and responsibility in the
young.
