She Is Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. She

We have sent to each teacher, cir
culars announcing and explaining a
plan to give gold medals for the twenty
best original essays, compositions, or
papers on "How ought you to treat
every living creature, whether human
or belonging to the lesser animals and
why?" And plan to reward any
child or children for acts Of conspicu-
GUS bravery. We hope You will not
set these aside without careful study.
1t is possible to make use of these, or
