The pupils of the Lyman school
have obligated themselves to care for
a little French orphan girl for a year.
These pupils, numbering 115, have
been unusually Industrious and selt
sacrificing in making up the sum,
$3.50, necessary for this work. The
amount was raised by selling waste
paper doing odd jobs of work and by
! personal donations of money by the
pupils. 1t has been the custom to give
the children of the school a Christmas
treat. but this year they volunteered
to donate the price of this pleasure to
the French orphan fund.-, and by
this means the required sum was
raised. Mrs. ]. c. McClintock gave a
talk to the children short time ago
in which she told them that if the
money was ready by the 21st of De-
| cember their names would be cabled
| to France and the little girl assured
of adoption for year, thus giving the
! child a Christmas gift continuing
and Miss Bertha Kistler, the principal
of Lyman school, is justly proud of the
energy and unselfishness displayed by
the pupils.
