4000 CHANGES IN ONE MONTH

That the employees of the postoffice are not fit subjects for an insane asylum is due more to the fact that their minds are too well balanced than that the jam of students, strangers, and returning vacations is trying to keep them from such a fate.

Said Postmaster Pond today: "It is a mild estimate to say that between Sept. 1 and Oct. 1 there are 4,000 new addresses of patrons the office that have to be kept in mind.  The old students coming in with changes of rooming places, new students, residents of the city returning and asking that their mail be no longer forwarded, all go to make up this great task.  The most arduous part of the work is straightening out these addresses and seeing that the mail is distributed among the proper carriers devolves upon Miss Sullivan.  Her memory and quickness is truly wonderful.  It is very seldom after the cards giving the addresses are handed to her that she is obliged to refer to the book in which they are recorded.  To carry 4,000 changes of addresses in one's mind in one month is a difficulty that nobody can appreciate until it has been attempted."
