To Our Friends and Ladies of the City;
AS you are about to clean house, if
you perchance come across any ladies',
girls or boys clothing, do not cast them
into the rag bag; send them to us.
Shoes? Why, yes, we can sell shoes
that you would think wouldn't do any
one any good. We find those that will
buy them and repair them, and thus
they become comfortable.
Any old dishes? You must not be
surprised at the mention of old dishes,
for these with old sewing machines,
lamps, stoves, old rugs Tor new ones,
for that matter; we are not over partlc-
ular). If there is anything in the arti-
cles sent us that can be Of use for our
school, we avail ourselves of the privi-
lege to make use of them.
Magazines. Some of our girls are de-
lighted with them. If you only knew
of the sunlight let into some of the
homes, you would not hesitate to send
us anything that you consider useless.
We have a lady, who is well versed
in physical culture, willing to give
some of her valuable time to our girls
if we can get some dumb-bells or any
aeft,
ercises.
Right here let us make known our
wants and wishes. We need piano
little better than we have for our exer-
cises We need calico, outing flannel

1t can be seen that in our runmage
sales as we'll as our fancy sales, we
carry out our principle OF self help. If
your contributions are in large bundles
we will send for them.
Our enrolment is eighty-three. We
have lost two teachers because we
could not locate on a more popular
street. But we are in for the greatest
number at the least cost. We wish
that generous public would only look
in upon the school and see the interest
manifested by these girls.
A prominent merchant said:~
"Why don't you let the people know
what an excellent work this ISL" and
it is only one of the class. We were
under the impression that we had made
great effort in this direction. However,
this merchant gave evidence Of his ap-
probation in a substantial manner; so
we say to our generous and appreciative
public, do thou likewise" and our
wants will be supplied.
Keeping our principle in view, and our
motto, "As do not pass this way but
once, let me do all the kind. deeds

Due notice of the rummage sale will
be given, as it is our purpose to have
it as soon as we can get a sufficient
number of articles together.
In view of the constant effort toward
the welfare of the boys and young men,
we should not overlook the girls, and as
we have been before the public for three
years and seven months, we cannot be
considered as strangers, or our work as
an experiment. .,..
Thanking our friends and very libe-
raj public, and at the same time EXTEND
ing by this appeal to our teachers for
their effort, and that without money
and without price, We leave our feeble
effort to follow out our merchants ad-
vice to the judgment of our fellow-citi-
zens as to our success.
