9iuut suSs lHc lldTIluTu lOufunt, He pupils, averaging eleven or twelve years of age, were to write how they would spend the $lOO This they d'd, some quite minutely A few seemed at loss to dispose of $100. One or two did not seem to think that s100 was such bis sum after all 4 few were of that practical stock who could not take the $l00 In faith but must know where 1t was coming from. The girl who wrote this way of spending the money was of this class, but was certainly a most generous little soul.
 If l had hundred dollars, 1t would be earned by hard labor. l would help the poor and send summer clothes to the County Home children would buy shoes for them, too For the boys 1 would buy clothes and playthngs. For the girls, dolls, play dresses, doll carriage and many other things. Besides this, l would send money for each The doll-carriages would De the brown ones with brown leather tops. The dolls would be light haired with blue eyes. I would buy about ten yards of calico which they could make lrtc dresses for the dolls. l would get ten spools of thread and five pair of scissors. There arc balls, bats. face protectors and many other things for the boys, And for winter would get four girl sleds and five boy sleds. The rest of the money l would spend on little odds and ends for the girls, as rings, bracelets and chains"
