WILL SUPPLY SCHOOL
PUPILS WITH CLOTHES

A number OF the public school
principals of Richmond borough met
at the office of DR.. William L. Ettin-
ger, district superintendent of
schools, on Wednesday, and organ
ICED the Public School Relief Asso-
citation. whose chief purpose will be
to supply public school children with
adequate clothing. They adopted a
contribution Which has been formu-
lated during the previous week. MIR.
Putnam, principal OF Public School
20, was elected president; Mr.. Ran
dolph, principal of P. S. 8, vice.
president; Mr.. benson, principal of
&c, secretary-treasurer; Mr.. h~1o-
van, principal OF 10, and Mr.. Bur-
dick, principal OF IA, were elected
members of the executive commit
tee: Mr.. Hankinson, principal of 10,

were elected auditors; Mr.. Rafferty,,
principal OF 80, and Mr.. Silberstein,
principal of FL, are to constitute a
publicity committee.
DIR. Ettinger attended the meet
Ing, and offered many valuable sug-
gestions. All present pledged sub
stantiaf contributions.
The new association hopes to OBJ
tain the helpful cooperation of all
thoughtful and public-spirited citi-
zens in It's very necessary work.
Public school principals are always
In a splendid position to know inti-
mately the poverty and the misfor-
tune of their respective districts,
and are often forced to see the most
innocent victims Of such poverty and
misfortune, the little children, de-
prived OF the chance to attend school
because of lack of shoes or of other
necessary clothing. AS the officers
receive no pay whatever for their
work, every dollar contributed will
go wholly and directly for It's bene-
fcent purpose. The principals are
confident that much truancy and ir-
regular attendance will be eliminat-
ed in this way.
Contributions may be forwarded
to the northumberland, Mr.. Lewis
H. benson, principal Of P. s.. 90,
Linoleumyille, or to any public
school principal on the island.
