To attempt to estimate such a wealth would be to attempt to dine in dollars and cents the value of education and to place a monetary measure' upon happiness. The blessings of this service are not to he found in completeness so much in this geneiat ion a< in the general ions yet to come. True il is that to the farmer, the head of the family, the blessings are incalculable, but lie is lit net less from i1 than his hoy* and uirls Its educational value is beyond measure. Rural delivery is a more potential factor in the dissenminalion of knowledge, the spiead of information and the general education of ail the people than are all of our schools and colleges and universities combined. The magazine *nrt the daily newspaper have become the universities of the rural population of this country. The farmer and hi< family are going to school every day and the beauty of il all is thai he is putting this liberal education to a good use. Another step in the process of breaking the monotony of farm life is the inauguration op a system of good roads. Rural delivery is already exercising a vast influence in this direction. The automobile audi the rural carrier ate itoing more to create a wholesome sentiment in favor of good roads than all the ofh- | or agencies working to this end com-j bined. The bureau of good roads I ha- been authorized to o-operate with' the officials of the pnstoffiee department in securing improvements in; the road system of our country.
