The following is a report of work
done by school children and teachers
Of Dorchester county through Jun
ior Red Cross Auxiliaries:
The school fund was raised Dy
membership fee and entertainmen
Some of the means for raising the
school fund in few schools have
I been very interesting and unique.
The primary room at Vienna, under
the leadership of the teacher. Miss
Nellie Percy, shipped a coop of hens
| to the city and received fifteen dol
lars to add to their fund. The pupils
! of Keene's school collected and sold
old iron to add to their fund.
The recent program given by the
! pupils of St Thomas and Langrall
| schools was deemed worthy of recog-
milton by the Junior Membership
/ Committee at Washington, who has
asked for the original numbers on
the program.
All auxiliary members have receiv-
! ed Red Cross buttons, and each has
/ been given a Red Cross certificate.
The teachers and pupils in these aux
/ iliaries deserve special commenda-
tion for the splendid work they have
done, and the Chapter School Com
mittee appreciates greatly the coop
Grafton which the AuxiliarIes have
given them in carrying on the Red
! Cross work in the schools.
