CeSSful In helping you, we remain,
THE HELPING HANDS,

vania avenue southeast, Washington, D. C.
This Is a very appropriate name. and
the first specific duty we will give to this
circle will be to take in hand the receipt
for the subscription to the Saturday Star
for the little Indian children In Arizona.
A Star circle honor badge will be sent
to every contributor to this call as soon
&c hmm NH fo,,
| received. Remember, that these pennies
| must be earned by your own effort. We
do not want you to beg for pennies for our
work.
AS each circle reporting asks for definite
work to do, we have decided to assign to
each circle one object, asking them to
make it their especial duty to look after
this object. The Helping Hands will have
the Arizona children to look after, and
the secretary, Miss Ethel Giles, shall cor
| respond directly with Miss Mckee, the
childrens secretary, and with Miss An
derson of Toreva. Ariz., the teacher of the
Indian children you are helping. In this
manner you can find a way to help d.
rectly If you happen to be near enough
to the Helping Hand circle to join hands
with them in their work. in case you do
not want to write or send directly to Miss
Anderson. Whether you work in circles
| or individually, we hope you will not for
get to write to Miss Mckee or Aunt Doro-
thy at least once month and tell us what
you are doing. 1t is the only Way we can
keep track Of you and find out the streneth
OF our band of workers. Do not forget
that the Arizona children want colored
crayons. so they may send you colored pic
