Children Give Up
Piano Fund and
Purchase U. S. Bonds

Webster City. Oct 26---If the people
Of Webster City have needed an
awakening and an example of self
denial set before them in the matter
Of buying liberty bonds until Il hurts,
it has been given them by The children
of the primary grades in the south
school building. They have taken two,
a 500 bond and a $50 one.
The story of where the money came
from which purchased the bonds puts
70 shame the slackers among grown
people. Several months before the
close of school last spring a plan was
devised by which the children. as
result Of their own efforts, could raise
a fund to buy a new piano for the
primary building. Every body who has
visited the Kindergarten building, and
even the passerby, knows how badly
new musical instrument is needed
in that school. The one which now
graces. or rather disgraces, the lower
hall, is a relic of-oh, say, sometime
before the ark-and its tin-pannie
tones are a blow to every musical
sense Of both children and teachers.
Nearly every housewife in the city
knows about that plan OF the chill
dren's. 1t called for the collection OF
old newspapers and magazines which
they called for with their little wagons
and hauled to the school house to
be baled and then sold TO the dealer
in any rags, any bones. any bottles
today" so IN this manner sl25 was
raised and the interest on that sum
up to the present time gives a total
of s12sf0, to be exact
1t Is a theory of modern educators
that children understand much more
than they were formerly credited
with, and lit has long been the Gus
tom Of the principal OF that building,
Miss Bertha Stark, and the teachers
working with her, to explain to the
children very carefully and clearly the
great events In the big world around
them. And the liberty bond In due
time came up for explanation and 1t
was mentioned that the children could
use the funds they had shaved so hard
to earn for the new piano In this man
ner II they so desired. II met instant
response and the children unanimous
~ decided that was what they wished
to do.
The balance TO make up the $50
was supplied from the so-caled tray
fund OF the high school with the sane
ton of Superintendent D. NJ. Kelly.
The bonds are held IN the name Of
the primary building, and should the
UaI - >~n- N fnw wears nnsa'hIv
some Of these same bows and girls
may yet enjoy the tones of a 1eally
good piano before they leave the school.
And If not they can always remember
that they did their bit" even as little
tots.
