FORT SKATER, Aug. 16.-On
Wednesday, August %, there will be
given in the assembly room of head
quarters building a dance for the
benefit of kindergarten for the
younger children of the garrison. Mrs.
George p Bush, wife of Sergt. Bush
of the Signal Corps, will be the teach
er, and as she is most capable and
efficient and has studied the more
modern system of kindergarten train
ing, her services will be great ad-
vantage to the post. At present the
smaller children are unable to take the
trips to the city for an education and
yet all such little ones are in need of
such elementary training. .....
The dance will supply the financial
means to prepare. for the school work
and also arouse interest in the noble
project. The cause is deserving of
the assistance of both officers and
men and it is hoped that large at
tendance at the dance will result from
the appeal.
