SCHOOLS MAKE rINE REPORTS
The report that was made 10 the Loan
schools Scott was surprisingly good Al
though the principals teachers and
students began the campaign when II was
half over, they have in the past week
succeeded in obtaining subscriptions total
ling ST., $50. Much Of the field had al
ready been combed for subscriptions. but
the determination Of the pupils, teachers
and principals TO make good showing
was not to be daunted
Originally the goal fixed by the schools
Was 100000. Now II Is expected that the
schools will not only attain their goal, bUA
NAV exceed II by many thousands
The work OF the public school children
represents the hardest kind OF work Some
OF the schools that reported but a few
hundred dollars subscribed, required more
effort and represents more IN actual
patriotism than do the larger reports from
sections where the pupils come frxn
prosperous families. In some sections II
was surprise that any bonds were sub
scribed to at all. But the teachers and
children persevered and the results speak
for themselves.
The total subscription represents nearly
one thousand subscriptions
