Rural Free Delivery Is Growing Fast

Work OF the mailing section. It in
cludes a private postofice through
which every letter received or sent
relative to rural delivery must pass
Every one of the half-million and
more letters sent from this depart
ment is copied for record by a me-
chanfcal system which saves the labor
of hundred copying clerks even
where the hand copying press or the
carbon method has been employed A
force of only seventeen clerks is need
ed In this section, yet In addition to
handling and copying mail they keep
a daily record of all the outlay for
postage expenses of the department
letters daily received which must be
returned to the postofhce where they
should have been directed
What the service does in receiving
applications for new routes, petitions
for carriers, decisions of the depart
ment, the payments and receipts, is
told by the spostofice newspaper. Pub
hshed every day by the accounting
section, it is a record of what every
one in this postal counting house, in
GLIDING himself, is doing.
The esprit de corps of the rural free
delivery is best shown by the last an
nual report. During the year it states
that out of the Al 900 in the service
the total dismissals for cause were
only 165, less than the total number
of deaths.
The reasons for the dismissals were
principally incompetence and failure
to obey instructions. No dismissals
whatever for stealing from the mails
or other dishonesty were on the rec
OrdS.

HE rural free delivery service of
i the United States means the dis
tribution of nearly 100000 letters and
parcels annually along the highways
and byways of every state and terri
tory from Maine to Alaska. A force
of 1900 carriers daily go over the
routes assigned to them, says a writer
IN the Bookkeeper
Bringing the mail to the farmer now
costs the nation 100000 a year in
salaries for the carriers, expense of
5Xamin1ng new routes, maintaining
costoflces, payments of inspectors,
special agents, clerks and chiefs of
bureaus
To secure information to make
changes in routes and carriers, where
deemed necessary, to establish new
routes and to record and tabulate
statistics and data for the postmaster
general as well as for the public, a
force of only ITO persons is required
IL Washington, in spite of the great
amount of Office work and correspond
ence that must be finished daily.
More than a million letters are re-
ceived and answered by the depart
ment of rural free delivery in a year.
Many of those received are merely ad-
dressed to the department. To save
time OF opening and reading missives
not properly directed is a part of the

Immense Saving Possible.

In a preliminary bulletin on the
cost of maintaining a tuberculosis
sanatorium, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis announces that the average
cost per patient per day in thirty
semi-charitable sanatoria scattered in
all parts of the United States is
1859. These institutions represent
an annual expenditure of over 81, BOO
600 and over $4,000 days of treat
ment given each year. The bulletin,
which is part of an extensive study
the National association is making for
its bureau of information, points out
that the country could save annually
at least 150,OOO,O0O if the INDECENT
consumptives were properly segre-
gated.

sketch of Longfellow. One member
of the class proudly submitted the
following:
III. w. Longfellow was a grand
man. He wrote both poems and poetry.
He graduated at Bowdoin and after
wards taught the same school where
he graduated. He didn't like teaching
and decided to learn some other trade,
SO his school furnished him money to
go to Europe and learn to be a poet
He wrote many beautiful poems for
