g PENNIES TO FUND
Oliver School Starts Penny Day
in Anticipation of Dime Day
TOmOrrOW-PrizeS for the
School Children.


Thursday was Penny Day in one of
the lower grade rooms at the oliver
school
Catching the spirit of Dime Day on
which all the higher grade school pu-
pills will give a dime for a fund for
the Children's Dispensary, 81 young
Sters out at the Oliver school early
Thursday morning launched a Penny
Day campaign and everyone brought
a penny to make a special collection
for the dispensary.
Not feeling that she could get all
of her companions to give ten cents
apiece and still wanting her room to
take part in the city-wide contribu-
ton, one little girl suggested the plan
that all the class bring pennies and
have a penny day in the school.
Patriotism to her school room and a
deep interest in raising money for the
dispensary led her to ask her teacher,
Miss Alsa Carlson, about her plan.
The matter was approved and it
was arranged that every one bring
penny. When school began in the
afternoon nearly every pupil present
had contributed, anC 80 pennies had
been briught in. Stimulated by the
fact that the proposed new dispensary
will probably be erected in the vicin-
ity Of the school, practically every one
IN the CLASS TSD1GInDeTtQ 10 a
penny to help raise the fund.
Many of the pupils knew all about
the present dispensary, some having
little brothers and sisters who have
been cared for there while others
were we'll acquainted with the library.
A report Of the results Of the con-
tribution was promptly phoned to the
News-Times Office after it had been
taken up at noon and later one of the
&N-
sack Of pennies.
Those who gave were:
