Rural Mail Box
Improvement Week
The week of May 5th to May 10th
inclusive is designated by the Post-
Office Department as Rural Mail
Box Improvement Week, and the
department asks that all patrons of
rural and star routes cooperate.
Unsightly mail boxes detract from
the natural scenic beauty and are not
a credit to the homes they serve. It
is not the puropse of the department
to cause any of their patrons any
hardships, but it is to their interest
to have suitable mail receptacles thai
will safeguard their mail from the
elements, and too they should he set
up sp that the carriers when making
their rounds can take out and put in
mail without having to get out ot
their vehicles,
'l'lie mail service is operated foi
the convenience of rural patrons an.i
is a free service, and the cost of at;
approved mail box is very small. The
greatest expense tp those who do noi
live on a state highway would he the
erection of supports for the box. To
those who live On the highway, the
state highway department furnishes
neat, standard supports, and certain-
ly it is to the patrons' interest to fur-
nish suitable and neat boxes to be
placed thereon.

Theme of the two-day conference
was "The Home as the Threshold ot
Democracy." In connection with this
topic, |. W. Hathaway, from the
Hogg Foundation in Austin, spoke on
mental hygiene. In this discussion he
explained the place of the home and
the secondary school for a better pro-
gram in mental hygiene for children.
He especially stressed that more em-
phasis should be placed on the de-
velopment of clean-thinking students.
Hathaway explained that youngsters
should be taught more concerning
possible occupations in life. The
adaption of this program to the ordin-
ary school was explained in detail.
