Get Pupils Ready
for Township Day
Superintendent Adella G.. Pratt An
nounces Friday, January %, as
Get-TOgether Day

Township Day for the semi graded
and rural schools of Redwood County
will be held on Friday January p,
at some central place in each town
ship. On Township Day it is planned
that all of the semi-graded and Rural
schools of each township meet at
some central place selected by the
teachers and spend the day together.
All parents and school officers are in
vited to attend Beginning at 1920
there will be a joint program given
by the pupils of all schools repre-
scented. At noon there will be pic
mic dinner in the building where the
meeting is held. In the afternoon the
Township Contest in Arithmetic,
Spelling and Writing will take place.
At this contest the representatives
are selected from each township to
represent the township at the Coun-
ty Contest which will be held at Wa
basso, February 6.
The purpose of an annual Township
Day is to celebrate the fact that we
have good schools in Redwood Coun-
ty and to create enthusiasm to keep
up our standard and to make prog
ress with the times. We are prog
ressing educationally as well as in
other lines. Our rural schools of to-
dav are no more like the schools of
fifty years ago than is the farm ma
chinery of today like that used fifty
years ago.
In every way we desire to improve
our rural schools and have them offer
every possible opportunity to the
children of the country. AS the ma
iority of the children of the county
receive their training in the rural
schools, parents and school officers
should cooperate in every way with
the teachers to further any movement
that is apt to better our schools.
1t is necessary in this age OF COM
petition in all lines that our school
children learn to meet and compete
with other children. Township Day
offers this opportunity.
Parents are invited to pack lunch
baskets and go with the children te
the Township Meeting. Let us al
join in making January % an educa
tional day, that will be representative
of the excellent school spirit which
prevails in Redwood County.

County Superintendent.

DR.. Emma Drake
To Give Series
of Lectures Here
One of Worlds Great Purity Workers
To Be in Redwood Falls, jan
uary %, % and "a

DR.. Emma F. A. Drake, a physician
and lecturer of note, will be in Red
wood Falls three days, beginning Fri
day, January % and will give series
of lectures.
DR.. Drake has recently confined her
activities largely to work along the
lines of the Purity Educational Move
ment lecturing widely on social and
moral reform topics. Her experience
has been gained through years of
work as a teacher, as a minister's
wife, and, as physician who came
into close contact with many of the
great evils of her day. All this in
formation and experience has given
DIR. Drake a fund of knowledge on
the practical side of the questions in
volved in the purity movement which
has been so widely undertaken by the
best people in the country.
DIR. Drake treats the subject with
perfect frankness, but with such deli
cacy of feeling and with such evident
moral earnestness as to avoid giving
offense. She is a speaker of unusual
ability and she wins her way in the
confidence of those who hear her. All
who are interested in this world move
ment for the publication and better
ment Of the race should bear DR..
Drake at as many of her meetings
as possible.
Friday afternoon, DR.. Drake will
talk to the pupils of the grade schools
and the students of high schools at
their respective buildings. Friday even
ing DR.. Drake will give public lee
ture at the Methodist Church, her
subject to be announced later.
Saturday morning at ten o'clock
| DR.. Drake will talk to the children
and Saturday afternoon to the teach
ers of the public schools.
Sunday morning, DR.. Drake will
conduct the service in one of the
churches of the city, and Sunday af-
ternoon at the Methodist Church, she
will talk to the mothers and daugh-
tiers. Sunday evening there will be q
union service, conducted by DR.. Drake
at the Methodist church. All numbers
of DR.. brakes lecture program will
be free to all who wish to attend.

Office for Dead
Letters" Now Gone
Government Abandons Department
And Other Provision for Mis-
sent Mail

The dead letter department in the
postal department in Washington is
no more. The last auction sale of old
letters and parcels was held and $4,-
500 realized; eighty employees were
discharged or transferred elsewhere
and the business is conducted more
efficiently.
The Office was really abolished be-
cause of the big increase in the leg
Utility of the addresses on mailed pack
ages and the big decrease in lost mail,
and because letters directed to per-
sons that cannot be found are more
speedily disposed of through the help
of opening machines and quick clerks.
But while the dead letter office is
to be abolished here the misdirected
pieces of mail matter in the future
are to be distributed to fifteen cities
throughout the country. For instance,
if letter is mailed from Springfield,
Ohio, to Albany, N. Y, and the adj
dress is correct and there is no return
card on the envelope the letter will
be sent to Chicago where it will be
opened. If information as to the name
of the sender is written therein the
letter will be forwarded back to
Springfield.
To Benjamin Franklin probably be-
longs the distinction of starting the
dead letter office: When the seat of
the Federal government was in Phila-
delphia Franklin had bureau where
misdirected letters were examined. The
dead letter office was established in
1925. Before 1860 few detailed re-
cords were kept of the receipts of the
dead letter office although one old book
in the department showed that in
1880 there were $4,000 letters re-
ferred to that bureau. In 1859, in re-
spouse to Senate resolution the
Postmaster General reported that re-
ceipts of parcels and letters for the
year numbered 100000.
In 1879 there were twenty-nine men
and so women employed in the bureau
and the office was mentioned as a
model of industry and efficiency"
Last year the force consisted of about
$50 persons and more than $4,000 600
pieces of mail were handled. Most
OF 1T was returned to the senders.
