Rural Mail Helps
The Nation’s March
Letter Carriers Have Transformed
Once Secluded Inhabitants Into
Cosmopolitan Citizens.
Few institutions in the history of
American progress can be credited
with a tn >ve salutary effect upon the
march of that progress than the rural
mail service of the postoffice depart
ment.
No. other single instrumentality has
done more than the rural mail service
toward “bringing the city to the coun
try’’, and relieving the prosaic exist
ence of farm life, or has been as ef
fective in establishing closer contact
between the farmer and his markets.
It has been the most important factor
in making agriculture an exacting bu
siness mstead of its one-time precari
ous classification which conveyed no
broader meaning- than “tilling the
; soil.”
Twenty-nine years ago the farmer
and hi.- wife, and.-children, led ay ex
istence .of .almost complete isolation,
I living upon widely scattered farms,
of them miles apart. They had com
: paratively little communication with
| their neighbors or the outside world,
: except that derived from weekly trips
i to the adjacent village. .More often
; than not the farmer lost a full day’s
i work and his crops were neglected in
j order to obtain expected mail at the
| village p'j' toffice.
!n those days the farmers’ mail con
sisted largely of communications front
j relatives and friends. Today the daily
[mail includes, usually on the very date
| of publication, the metropolitan news
j paper, containing market reports ami
agricultural news; the weekly and
monthly farm journals and magazines,
and business letters from the village
| merchant and the more pretentious es
j tablishment in the distant city. All of
! these are now brought to his door ot
to the box a few yards away.
The rural carrier i.: the farmer’s
