FREE KINDERGARTEN
NOT PROVING SUCCESS
An Average Of Only Five
Children Daily Are
Cared For

The free kindergarten furnished by
the Surgical Dressing department of
the Red Cross is not proving a very
successful experiment as there has. been
hardly an average Of five children a
day to care for and Wednesday there
was none.
In order to secure the help of mothers
Who have small children, this depart
'nent made arrangements whereby child
rem should be given kindergarten work
free from the hours of $3.50 to noon and
from 1:3O to 4:S0 in the Afternoon. The
mothers were to bring their children to
the pOstoffice where an automobile
would convy them to the Garfield
school. Unless there are more who wish
to take advantage of this offer, the
free kindergarten will be discontinued.
According to Mrs. NJ. L. Meyers in
charge of the surgical dressing work,
the working girls who have been giving
two evenings a week have proven to be
enthusiastic patriots and have done es-
peeially good work the past two weeks
helping to get out the special quota Of
army dressings Within a week or so,
as soon as this special work has been
cared for, the women who are giving
their time to this patriotic work will
devote their time to sphagrum moss.
While there is lot of work for ad-
ditional workers, Mrs. Meyers says the
women of Salem are to be commended
for the interest taken in the surgical
dressing department and the way in
which they have responded to the call
from time to time when headquarters
has asked that the quota be largely in
creased.
