city have been marching to school every
morning staggering under heavy load
of clothing or food, load in many cases
so big that it was hard to discover which
was boy and which bundle. All kinds of
things were brought in answer to the
request, clothing, dry groceries and
money, and these contributions, with the
exception of the money, of course, now lie
piled almost to the ceiling of three rooms
in City Hall basement, with corps of
men boxing and packing. 1t is really
good thing the goods are to be shipped at

as possible.
