Hours are Shorter A newcomer want to know why the post office In St. Johns closes Its win dow at 6 p. m., while In the East Invariably close at 8 p. m. As we understand the rulings of the post office department th e office must be kept open during "business hours" The Grammar School Needs a Fire Escape That flro escape In the grammar school docs not so em to oscapo us and we cannot but think that our peoplo are taking a continual risk ot having some ot our bright young boys and girls burned to death. Wo aro poorer than Job's turkoy otter a protracted drouth, but wo would rath er pay for tho flro escapes ourselves than to havo such a calamity coma upon us. Our directors aro able, careful and thoughtful men, and no doubt have given this matter their earnest attention, but that does not relievo us of the feollng of Insecurity or causo us to believe that It would not bo possible for tho flro to bo- come so fierce In tho assembly room that escape through that room would bo shut off before all the pupils aro out.
