cided to adopt child Sumner
school has bought a war bond. so the
members of the committee VIII pTe-
sent the adoption of an orphan to
them until little later.
The method of collecting the money
required for the adoption of a French
orphan, is by means of small, personal
sacrifices on the part of the children
in the school. Instead of attending
movie show, the child puts the money
in the orphan fund at the school. The
money that usually goes for the pur-
chase of candy and gum, is saved in
the same way, so that the raising OF
the amount works no hardship on the
parents of the children. In some OF
the schools, where there are a good
many children from Well-to-do fam
lilies. there is a plan for a number of
the children to club together to take
an orphan, besides the contributions
these children will make to the school
fund.
The work among the schools will be
continued until all the children have
been reached with the plea the COM
mittee women bring from the suffer-
ing children Abroad plea which
asks that grateful America help to
sustain, thru a time of the greatest
disaster, the childhood of the most
gifted nation on earth.

Kansas Day Club, one of the most
important organizations of women in
the state. The yearly meeting is held

chief reasons for the high place this
society holds in the interest of Kansas
women, is the democratic principals
that govern it. The orga nization is

ence. The president this year is Mrs

Glasses in surgical dressings will be
opened Monday morning from to 2
O'Clock in the surgical dressing room
of the Red Cross work shop. Mrs.
Nat Black, the instructor in that de-
partment. announces two courses: a
course in the standard dressings and
course in special dressings The
made continuously at the rooms and
shipped out regularly. The special
dressings are those that are prepared
in response to special rush orders.
This course is open only to those who
have satisfactorily completed the
course in standard dressing work
A fee of So is charged for the stand
ard dressing course, and an additional
So is charged for the special dress
ings course. This fee is charged to
cover the cost of material used in
making the sample boxes which each
student in the course sends to St.
Louis for inspection.
Mrs Black is anxious that large
class should enroll in the standard
dressings course, and that all who
are qualified to enter the special
dressings course, should do so. 1t
requires about two weeks for the
average worker to complete a course.
1t is not essential that the student
come every morning; for she takes up
her particular work where she left
off, and continues until she has com
pleted the tasks assigned to be done
in the correct way before a certificate
is granted. Trained workers are
much needed. and will be more and
more in demand as the war goes on.
