He said that he came before them
not as member of the school board
hut as a member of the charity COM
mittee of this city. He stated that
IL takes some $500 a year to meet
tue demands made on the cir arts
committee. He says this comm ittee
gives each call made on IL atten tion
al once.
He urged the teachers to tell 1he
children that when they gave s.his
free will offering before Thanks Civ.
ing il would relieve them from as
sisting beggars, in fact all begg,rs
should be sent TO the charity com.
mttee. He stated that not one h'sg-
gar in five ever came to the charity
committee for help. This committee
is composed of one member from
each of the various churches in the
city, thereby keeping the churches
from being imposed upon. He stated
that the demands made ON this
committee were very few except in
bad weather. He said collections
were very bad last year and that he
hoped all teachers would do what
they could to increase the amount
collected this year.
