THE NORMAL LEAGUE AGAIN.
A Worthy Cause And Should BE
Helped.

In the Herald of last week there
appeared communication from
Miss Minnie Rice, of the Normal
faculty. in which she made earnest
appeal to the readers Of the Her
aid to aid the Normal League, which
has for its object the collection
Of a fund to be used in the interest
of deserving Virginia girls, who de-
sire to be trained for usefulness in
life. but who are without the means.
The Herald feels lively interest
in THIS most worthy object. and
would be glad TO see the ci-
tizens Of FarmviHe contribute at
least $500 to the fund. and the
citizens of the counties contiguous
a like amount.
Members only pay one dollar a
year. and while his will be no bur
den to any one, in the aggregate it
will be a great blessing.
Educate a girl and she will edu-
cate many girls and boys, and the
good work will tell through time
and eternity.
It might be to the convenience OF
some to leave the dollar at the Her
aid office, and the names OF all
such will be published week by
week. Only one dollar, remember
and the further fact that quick Civ
ing is doubly giving.
