| Description |
SORTING NEWSPAPERS AT THE GENERAL POST OFFICE, LONDON. Wc here see the interior of one of the great rooms at the General Post Office in London. It is devoted to the sorting of newspapers, of which an incredible number pass through the past. Cheap as is the postage rate for newspapers in England, it is expensive compared with that which prevails in Canada, for in that country newspapers are actually transmitted free through the post. The supposed justification for the privilege is the fact that newspapers are held to be valuable aids to education, and that the moral interests of the nation are served by their circulation. This is, however, a point on which opinions may differ. The number of newspapers transmitted through the post in the United Kingdom in a single year is 150,600,000. |
