To Correct Covers


 The post office. department has
 issued the following statement In connection with the recent cachet applied to covers carried on the Akron's tactical flight from Lake, hurst on August 1 and 9: Due to circumstances over which this de- partment has no control the ink Furnished for the backstamp ca- chet on the U. s. s. Akron covers of August 1-2 proved very inferior, and rather than delay the covers 1t was deemed advisable to do the best that could be done with the facilities available and dispatch the covers promptly the same evening the U. s. s. Akron returned to its base at Lakehurst.
 However, the department has received some of these covers from philatelists who have complained of the indistinct backstamp cachet We haxe>secured a new supply of
 blue ink. and those who sent cov- CTS on the U. S. s. Akron on this trip and received indistinct back stamp cachets may have the con- dition remedied by sending these air-mafl envelopes, under cover. addressed to this office. The back stamp cachet will then be properly placed on the covers and returned to you as promptly as possible" Philatelic Convention
 The post oNice department had a special agent at the American Philatelic convention in Los An geles this week in the person of
 Mrs Myrtle c. Shaughnessy, assist ant philatelic agent at Washington. l Tn addition the new six-cent coil
 stamp and stamped envelope went on sale in that city for the first time. As a special favor to the many philatelists who were ex- pected at the gathering there this | week the department furnished a large supply of commemorative
 stamps to the Los Angeles post
 master to sell. They were various
 issues of the last two years, most of which are not now available at l the larger post offices and only oc-
 casionally can be found in, some of our smaller ones where supplies move slowly. No mail orders were | considered for these commemora-
 tives. Vatican State
 The Vatican State is expected to issue it's 1892 set of stamps some time in September. probably to- wards the end of the month. Ad-
 vices from Italy indicate that it will be beautiful set, including | some IS varieties from five cents l to twenty lire. All are pictorial

 the new Webster stamp has died

 stamp. Never were there so many persons going to be right in Frank lin, N. H. on August "A, the re- puted day of the first sales of the l Webster stamp, to secure their l clients the best and most prompt
 service. It would have been tough
 if these clients had demanded first day service from three cities, l Franklin, Exeter and Hanover,
 which many think will get first day
 privileges when the stamp is issued on October 24. In the meantime there is ample opportunity for

"Some legislatures went be-
yond the suggestions of the gov

and by unintelligent reductions
in educational support set the
schools back many years and
lowered the morale of those who

From the schools and the

Mr.. Knight turns to the assaults
upon them in the form of crit
cism.
professional educational eX-
perts have condemned almost
every feature of the democratic
theory and practice of public ed
ucation. The elementary school
has been attacked for its low

chaos of its curriculum, as well
as for it's inadequately trained
teachers. The secondary school
has been assailed as an educa-
tional fetish and an arid and
purposeless luxury, which is
every year costing the American
public immense sums
Higher education, too, has been
denounced. The present method
of admitting students is called
superficial and unintelligent y
it is charged that co-education is
unsafe" fraternities are de-
scribed as "spIendid centers of
hypocrisy;" compulsory educa-
ton is dubbed "a foolish ar

After his recital Of facts Mr..
Knight permits himself two or
three concluding paragraphs of
comment. The substance Of this
is that the voting and tax-pay-
ing public is laying upon the
school teachers and officials
much of the blame that it should
properly lay upon itself.
IF there has been waste, It
has been in part the result of the
feverish and competitive effort
of the public to have more eX-
pensive school buildings than
the neighbors, more teachers and
increased salaries for them, long
er terms, and enlarged educa-
tional facilities generally, into
which some fads and frills have

present and agreeing. But if
this eagerness is a vice of the
public, which has been so lavish
jim expenditures for schools, the
sin should not be laid at the
door of the teachers.
Does it seem manly now for
the public to refuse to pay the
fiddlers because it believes the
music was sorry? And is it wise
to punish the teachers and cripple
