The great majority of people applying for certificates are poor and are compelled to bring their little ones with them, and these children, as well as their mothers, are occasioned much discomfort while waiting in the crowded corridors of the department building. It is hoped that in the future applicants will realize that these certificates can be procured at any time during the year prior to the admission of the child to school, and that it is not necessary to wait until immediately before admission in order to make their applications. Another complication results from the fact that a large number of persons apply to this department for certificates of birth not only for children born in other parts of the United States, but also for those born in all parts of the world, not realizing, apparently, that only births occurring within the limits of the City of New York are reported to and recorded by this department.
