POSTMASTER GENERAL HITCHCOCK

While Postmaster General Hitchcock and the
administration are to be congratulated on the
achievement of the postoffce department in
reaching the self-susaning point after about
thirty years of successive annual deficits, the
head OF the department may have been bit
premature in returning to the secretary of the
treasury $3,000000 of the appropriation granted
the department for the expenses of the current
fiscal year; there may be '.rainy day" before
the year ends, and the postmaster general may
in consequence need the money! He repre-
sents that the postal business Of the government
shows today profit of more than 100000
for the fiscal year so far and that by June 30
the surplus may be much larger, He contends
that the deficit Of $17,50O0OO that confronted
him on March +, 1909-the largest in the history
of the postal Service-has been wiped ont not
by cArtailing postal facilities as some of his
critics have charged, but by introducing bust
methods into the department and extending
the service along profitable lines. Tie shows
that coincident with the Wipingout of the de-
felt more than three thousand new postoffices
have been established, delivery by letter car
rier has been extended to hundred and forty
two additional cities; two thousand one hundred
and tWenty-fonr rural free-delivery routes
have been authorized and the force of postal
ployes has been increased to the extent of
eight thousand two hundred and seventy four
men, while the payroll is $1170S07l larger
than 1t was two years ago The accomplish
ment is surey great one.
The house committee "proberS' into post
office department expenditures are not likely to
find the material for 'scandal' there Lux
urious red Office carpets and $50 waste basket
count for nothing with the people when against
them is set the fact of turning the postoffce
department from a ''money-eater" into profit
producer But it would at the same time APP
pear to be a little early to begin talk about
one-cent letter postage.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING.

The high schools Of Kansas and the country
are doing more to increase class distinction in
the United States than in making men and
women who are worth while, according to E T
talrchilds, state superintendent of public in
strHction of Kansas
The lack of vocational training in the high
schools is responsible for the condition. in Mr.
Fairchilds opinion. There is too much culture
and too little Of the training that tends to make
boys and girls appreciate the dignity of labor
Culture studies are all right Mr. Fair
chllds said, ''and they should be required in
every high school an incentive to better
things but vocational training is just as i'm
portant Under present conditions the boys and
girls in high schools are being taught that it is
better to have culture than to know the things
that are good in the ordinary walks of life.
such as the manual training and domestic
science. This is building up class distinction
and snobbish ideas. After a boy has taken a
course in manual training | know that he is
not going to look with dsdain upon the black
smith who makes ans excellent weld, or the
carpenter who does good job of joinery He
appreciate the workmans skill by which
he makes living for himself his wife and
