the Belleville School. SympathlzlnS |
eyes had been keenly on the watch for
some time to note the deserving poor
of the district, and the little observ-
ers handed to the committee, this year
of Miss Ethel Rhodes, chair
man; Miss Ella NJ. Rees, Miss Reene
Martin, Miss Grace Averil and Mrs.
Daniels, the name, residence and num-
Der in the family and means of sup
port of those whom they thought de-
serving. Slips were prepared by the
committee and baskets were brought
by the little girls. Just after Inter
mission" the contributions were hand
ed in by those who cared to bring
them They were divided among
those TO be supplied, according to the
needs of the family, and when the
school came down at noon it was to-
speed on their way a procession Of
forty-eight baskets filled, not only
with things TO eat and to wear, but
Drumming over with good wishes and
kindness of pupils and teachers.
Later there was dropped in big bar
rels what the children called tickets
to the afternoon exercises, seats by
potatoes, oranges. apples and onions.
In all forty-eight baskets were sent
out; one little lad was fitted out with
winter 'togs; 1915 was sent to local
charity organization, and fruit and po-
tatoes were sent to the Little Sisters
of the Poor, St. Alphonsus' Asylum,
and the Newsboys' Home.
In the last hour of the afternoon the
school had the pleasure of entertain
ing its director, Mr.. Frank Hemming,
who distributed the forty-six gold pins
won by pupils of the school by last
sessions work.
Irrespective of grade, grammar or
primary, any pupil of any public school
who is, for the entire session, salts
factory in scholarship and conduct,
and who makes the requisite record
in the three athletic events-all-up re-
lay, goal throwing, and running-re-
ceived from the Public School Athletic
League a gold pin. This was explain
ed. The significant fact that but forty
six pins were given out among the
202 pupils names sent in in Novem-
