The Spring Mill Post Office.
To mr RKCOHDKK :
Having noticed your article alluding to
William Penn poet office in your issue of
April 2nd, I desire to correct a wrong im-pression
intended to be given by that arti-cle.
The principal essential to bo consid-ered
In the affairs of a post office, Is the
accommodation and convenience of Its
patrons. Post Offices are created by this
government solly for tho benefit of the
people who use th and not as a reward
for service of any kind. The present lo
cation and administration of our post office
of William Penn, Is now rery satisfactory
Our mall facilities have been increased,
and tho office Is so situated al the station
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, that It Is
available at almost any hour of the twenty,
four being open from before 0 a. m., until
II p. in . Sundays as well as every week
day. It Is centrally located and the pros
enl post master Iseniient. polite and no
coinmodatlng. The next essential is the
administrative ability of tho postmaster.
This comprises his efficiency, honesty aud
courteous behavior, aud aw before slated,
our present post master eaorelses to the ut-most,
all of those qualifications as demon-strated
by the large petition sent to the 4th
assistant |K)st master general, containing
tie-names of more than 150 Republican
voters, and almost, if uot quite as many
more of other political faiths, I might say-that
at least nine-tenths of all the people
of this vicinity that use the post office are
opposed to any change of any kind, espoc
lally change of locatlou, and change of
post master means change of location. Iu
the Dally Times of March :10th, it is stated
that Mr. Morris was Interrupted in tho ad-ministration
or this post office by tho elec-tion
of Mr Cleveland In 1884. Mr. Morris
was uot Interrupted, no change was made
during the llrst term of Mr. Cleveland, and
Mr. Welsh did not vote the Democratic
ticket that year. Ho did vote for Mr.
Cloveland in 1892 and so did many Repab-licans.
This last election he was solid for
McKinley and sound money.
Be all that as It may it is not the ques-tion
among us people, that we desire, and
what the government desires to give us Is
tho best mail facilitiesand that can best bo
done, by making no change In our post of-fice.
It is also more economical service
where It is now located, as there Is no
charge, whatever, for dellvory of tho mails
from the railroad mall car, and there would
bo if changed to tho extreme eastern end
of tho villlage. —APATOHN.

The Old Eagle School.
We are reliable informed that the offer
of prizes to the studonts in tho public
sohoolsof Radnor, Tredyffriu, Easttown
aud Upper Merlon townships, by tho Trus-tees
of tho Old Eagle School, will shortly
be officially announced.
Tho amount aud character of these pri
zos depends much upon tho Interest maul
festod in each particular township, whereby
tho prize fund for that particular township
may be increased. So far the Interest In
the Radnor schools has been much more
distinctly marked so that iu addition to tho
usual prize offered there in 1890, a prize of
ton dollars for greatest proficiency In the
graduation class will this year bo offered,
and also a prlzo of sarao amount for the
best approved prlzo essay from any stu-dent
In the public schools of that township
on the subject, "The Bnlonco of Power in
Europe, Considered Historically and With
Special Relation to tho Cretan Contro-versy."
The subject of those prizes in the public
schools Is one in which tho residents of the
above named townships are deeply Interes-ted
and while regret may not unwarrant-ably
bo felt that Chester county Is not in
advance of Delaware In supporting the
Trustees of the charity In this enterprise,
there Is timo enough before commence-ment
day to mako up oven more attractive
offers In Easttown and Tredyffriu.
The Old Eagle School is clearly no lon-ger
a monument of sentiment but an active
useful organization croditablo to any
neighborhood, and the plans for these pri-zes
aud for the soldlors' monument there
Is one which claims the hearty approval of
all good citizens.
