Children of Foreign
Birth Help Honor
Thanksgiving Day

Although 200 OF the 400 students at the
Pacific school Pacific and Twelfth
ctreets. are Of foreign birth or parentage
and many have just struggled up TO an
Intelligent grip on English, the Thanks
giving program there was one OF the
best In the city.
Even the little shavers In A and b OF
the first grade. some OF whom were un-
able to talk In English caught the spirit
OF the day and eagerly took part In the
exercises. Pictures OF the Mayflower
were cut from paper, drawn IN crude lines
by the youngsters on the black board
or more accurately portrayed In water
colors and crayons by the advanced stu
dents.
For the first time donations were given
by the students for charitable purposes
and Miss Lizzie L. Banker principal, was
surprised at the volume and variety OF
the gifts. she at once sent little Johnny
Thomas with basket OF eatabies to his
mother, a widow woman with a large
family who lives at 1908 South Thirteenth
street. Several other little tots we're dis
patched with provisions for needy fam
HES In the nelghborhood.
We will keep some of these donations"
said Miss Banker. "and give TO families
here who we know are in want. The rest
OF the donations will be given to the
Associated Charities"
Thanksgiving program was rendered
by each room in the school. In one OF the
rooms students Of five and six years had
drawn pictures OF the Mayflower on
the blackboard with blue and white
chalk, II doubt II they understand the
meaning OF Thanksgiving. said the
teacher, but they say they do and SO
they help the school TO observe the 90
casion."
Miss Minnie OLDER has been recently
placed In charge OF an ungraded room
at the school. which has been proving
valueble addition. Students from many
grades who have shown a disposition to

are placed In this room. When they have
brought their work up 70 par they are
admitted into their classes
