WHO WILL GIVE A RECORD ?

The teachers and pupils of the pri-
mary grades of the Milford Public
Schools having shown their enterprise
by raising the money to purchase a
Victrola, it has been suggested that
there are many friends of the school
who would be glad to give a record.
Persons owning YictrOlas. or other
disc machines, frequently have records
of good selections that are old to them,
but which would fresh to others. As
the Grammer School is also making
an effort to raise funds for a VictrOla
these records could be changed he
tween the Primary grades and the
Grammar School to great advantage.
Look over your records, and if there
is one that you can spare, delight the
childrens hearts by passing it along.
ANY teacher or pupil will be glad to
receive it, or il you will phone the
High School someone will call for it.
OF course, it is left to the donors to
decide what selections are suitable for
use in the schools. Good music, old
or new. is especially appropriate. Eth
er Columbia or VictrOla records will
be appreciated.

more.
