TIME TO CALL a HALT.
[parkersburg Sentinel

Now that the 30 called mound
money has been collected from the
school children of Parkersburg dis
triot aud turned over to the state
gone never to return-some action
ought to be taken by the school
board to exclude from the school
building all sorts of beggars and all
kinds of begging. Afew years ago
a mound buying, penny. begging
scheme was worked through the
public schools of the state, and a
large sum was collected, how much
was never known, as no report was
ever made of the matter, though 1t
is now claimed by the state school
department that as there was not
enough collected at the former
time to buy the mound that the
money WAS diverted to some other
purpose. However, the money was
kept and misappropriated and
nothing ever said about it until
the Sentinel began to prod the
authorities. when the himsy expla
nation above referred to was made
Accepting the official explanation
as true it simply spells misappro'
priation and nothing else oan be
made out of It. Ifthe money then
collected was insufficient for the
intended purpose, and the matter
dropped, the money collected
should have been refunded to the
schools that contributedit it. Schools
are not intended for any suoh pur
pose as this, nor does the school
law contemplate that the soholars
shall be subjected to the appeals
of beggars whatever their purpose
may be. Purely voluntary gifts
do not come under the objection
able classification. but when the
collection follows solicitation
different condition is presented,
The prohibition against collections
from the scholars of the public
schools for any purpose whatso-
ever, should be positive and per
emptory. And the present is a
very excellent time to make and
put in force rule against further
impositions of this nature on the
scholars of the public schools.
