To the Superintendent:
We are familiar with the destruction
wrought in San Francisco by earthquakes
and fires.
We are informed that seventy school
houses have been wholly or partially de
strcycd and that nifty thousand children
are without school privileges.
1t is impossible for San Francisco to re-
establish these schools in the near future.
unless she is materially aided in this work
by all sections of the country.
We should esteem ii a privilege to as
Sjst those upon whom misfortune has
placed a burden heavier that they can
carry.
This catastrophe furnishes us with AT
opportunity to develop in our children
these qualities which will make it easy
for them to render assistance whenever
calamity forces an appeal for help w
ALI recognize that it is the duty of tn.
schools to inspire children to be mindful
of the claims of others upon them
These considerations have led the De
partment to submit to you the following
suggestions:
FIRST. That an opportunity be provided
the children of your town to contribute
to the fund which is being raised to at'
in rebuilding the school houses in Sar
second. That these contributions b,
sent to the undersigned at Auburn. Maine
not later than June 20 1906.
|
following items be borne in mind in max
ing these announcements and forwardins
a. Have some person present to eaci
school a statement of present condition
in SAN Francisco and explain in detail
why this appeal is made and the claim
the children of this stricken city nav
upon our generosity.
h ASK the children to talk the matte
over with their parents. before making
contributions.
G. No pupil should be required to con
tribute to the fund.
d. No pupil should be requested to con
tribute to the fund because a requeS
from a teacher has all the force of a com
mand. .;,, ,,
Q. That so far as practicable. pupil
shall make their contributions in such
way that no one except the contribute
shall know the amount given or If any
! thing has been given.
T In many schools no pupils shouid b
allowed to contribute more than ny
cents and in no school should the indi

Keep Bundled Tn,

The present weather is the worst
for producing colds that can be found
at any season of the year. The cold
spells coming one day and a warm
snap the next and another change to
far below zero the next day, is enough
to make every person beware of the
dread diseases which are caused by
such weather. One of the prominent
physicians of this city says that the
best thing to do in such weather is to
keep we'll bundled up every day no
matter how warm the change has
made it and there will be no danger
of catching such diseases as pneu-
monia and pleurisy and the like.

Some Money Saved.

The board of education and Super
vising Architect Edwards are shaking
hands with themselves this morning
over the letting of the contract for
the Wilder school building last night.
The last. school building erected by
the city cost $4,000. and had eight
rooms. The present contract calls
for five rooms at cost of $4,000. In
the latter instance, too, the contractor
must tear down part Of the old
building-that is the roo, must he
taken off, and while it may be used
again. the cost will be more to the
contractor than starting from the
ground with a new building.
