How We Raise Money.

We are asked to state briefly how
we raised $1,000 and decorated our
building with more than 200 classic
pictures. First, by visits and CORES
pondence, we learned what other
schools had done in this direction.
Then, through the local press, serie-
of articles on the importance of art in
the schoolroom was given.to the pub
lie.
Knowing that business men when
asked TO contribute money would de-
sire to know definitely what we pro-
posed to do aud how much it would
cost. a printed list of the desired
pictures and statuary was published.
The pictures we're carefully graded for
the classes, from the first primary to
the ninth grammarsgrade.
Care was exercised to approach at
first those men known to be generous
and public spirited. All were seen in
the evening, when the conditions
were most favorable. The first sub
scriptiOn covered the cost of the ninth
and eighth grades, the second the cost
of the seventh grade. After that,
gentlemen subscribed for picture or

pictures in any grade, according to
tatse or fancy. An effort was made
to have each subscriber take at least
one picture, and none was valued at
less than ten dollars.
A proposed catalogue. giving the
names Of the pictures and the con-
tributOrs. greatly assisted US. The
children became SO interested that
they often asked their parents to sub
scribe for pictures for their particular
rooms. Some of the graduates of the
school were easily induced TO furnish
the assembly hall with twenty-five
historic pictures.
We were also aided by the under
standing that, as soon as the decora-
tion of the building should be com
pleted, there should be public re-
ception, when the pictures would De
on exhibition. Notwithstanding
small admittance fee was charged,
more than 1000 people attended this
reception, affOrding neat little sum
of money for the founding of an art
library in our building. The pictures
are excellent, a large part of them
consisting of the Braun celebrated
carbon photographs. They are framed
in oak, which harmonizes with the
finish and tint of the rooms.
