Eng silver service will be given by
The Peoples Warehouse for the high
est scoring girl.

Christian church. The babies have
been divided into classes and differ
ent hours set for the various classes
Local physicians will do the scoring
and testing some taking charge OF
the physical examination, others ex-
amining the eye, ear, nose and throat
others taking measurements and
feights, others making mental tests
