Whatever impedes or cripples that process retards to that extent our educational facilities and turns the wheels of progress backward. I think I see in the zone system the beginning of a program which. if followed to its ultimate conclusion. would provincialize and sectionalize this Repiblic. destroy that universal communication and unification of thought which must make us one great family in this Republic. The hope of this Republic rests upon our whole population and all our immigration going into a melting pot and coming out fullfledged American citizens. and our universal Postal System is one of the necessary means to that end. We must encourage and support all means of education that crystallizes the public conscience into national thought. national pulse. and the fullest fruition of the American spirit. and to penalize the man who lives in a distant sphere by making him pay extra for his intelligence and his part of the national information is not only unjust to him. but is Impolitic and unwise as a governmental policy. Our Postal System must not be controlled merely by the curves of the dollar mark.
