To have been among tho children OF
the public schools yesterday would have
convinced anyone Of the importance and
necessity Of the Thanksgiving day. The
pupils. from the big boys and girls to
the wse tot whose days at books are few.
enjoyed such . time yesterday a. they
never did before. Better yet, 1t WAS .
day Of heart gladdening for the hun
drsds OF poor children Of the city whose
lives have never before known .
Thanksgiving day.
The idea originated with Superin.
tsndent Search Of the city schools. He
encouraged each pupil to take some Of
fering to be distributed to the poor. and
never before has suggestion been more
readily carried ont. When the thou.
sands OF presents are distributed today
it will be Thanksgiving festival indeed.
Many hearts will beat with joy and hap-
piness and offer upthanks for the kindly
r8membrances OF the good people OF the
city.
