" The probabil- ities are that he. or she. has look ed through that box fifty times since the last mail came in. Par cuts, unthoughtedly, permit their children to call for mail, and when this is done, the children abuse the privilege. Take a family with three or four child ren in school. Many times each one of them will call for their mail at the general delivery win dow and not half an hour apart. In such cases the person waiting on that window well knows there is no mail for~the family in ques- tion, and he or she, is not going to look through the mail in such cases. Often, too. children lose mail. They should not be sent for it when it is possible to get it in any other way.
