At the annual school board meeting
Mrs. Guy Nash recommended that a
nurse be engaged and paid for by the
board of education. 1t was carried by
large majority and now we hope will

Federation is only making a small be-

Fresh air, cleanliness, sunshine, food

aim to teach the child, so they will
know how to keep we'll and strong.

The committee wishes to heartily
thank the citizens of Grand Rapids,
