The gathering of a large crowd of
children and nurses at the post office in
the evenings is very annoying, both to the
public and the post Office authorities, as
well as great hindrance to those who
have business at the general delivery
window. There is an abundance of time
for everybody to be waited upon between
the opening of the mail and the hour for
closing, without the pushing and crowd
ing that generally takes place, and the
kindergarten department in the public
portion of the Office can we'll be dispen-
sed with.
