Dear Miss Bradford -
You have no idea how happy was tc
get those fine letters from the school,
children. They made me very, very
happy for | really care more for the
children's opinion in this Tournment
than for the opinion Of older people.
Anybody looking at the letters OF
course could tell that those children
have clean hands for | never saw any
lot of cleaner work turned out by
youngsters.
The teachers whoever they are Ger.
tainly should be congratulated. look
several times to see whether there
wasn't some mistake for the letters
read much like letters written by high
school pupils rather than grade schoo
pupils | am so glad that some of then
are realizing that they need fresh air al
night as well as in the day and that il
is necessary to brush teeth as well as tC
brush hair. One thing | feel sure OF
that if Uncle Sam calls for sturdy citi
zens, both boys and girls, Mineral Point
will have no trouble furnishing til
quota.
| meant to thank you Miss Bradford
and the children, but work piled NJ
during my absence from the city Sc
that this was my first opportunity
Any suggestions you have to make foi
campaigns of this kind more successful
will be more than welcome and any a
all as to chores or method Of conductint
the campaign. Thanking you mos
heartily for sending me the inspiration
