GIVE UP BASEBALL
Tyler School Pupils Vote Money to
Red Cross.

The spirit OF sacrifice, at least dur
ing the period OF the war, has invad-
ed the public schools.
During the past week all children
were asked to give the money they
would ordinarily spend for candy
and the movies" to the Red Cross.
The plan has succeeded admirably.
but 1t was left to the children OF the
sixth grade OF the Tyler School, on
Eleventh street southeast to make
the supreme sacrifice.
A short time ago. the Cranch-Tyler
Home and School Association offered
prize of an indoor baseball to the
grade selling the most tickets for an
entertainment. The sixth grade Of
the Tyler School won.
For days the pupils talked of the
fun they expected to have with that
ball.
Then the principal OF the school
and teacher of the sixth grade. Mrs.
VI. ]. Peabody. proposed that instead
OF spending the money for ball it
be given to the Red Cross.
Each student in the room had a
vote regarding the disposition of the
money. The vote was taken secret
ly. so no one would be Influenced by
seeing another cast his ballot.
All forty-six pupils voted to give
the money TO the Red Cross instead
OF spending II for Il ball.
