School Children
of State to Help
French Monument

Explaining the way in which school
children of Oklahoma can assist in
the building of the monument to be
erected on the Marne as America S
Gift TO France" r. H. Wilson, state
superintendent OF schools, has ad
dressed the following letter to all
teachers and superintendents in Ok.
lahoma:
Our government has determined
npon plan of erecting a monument
on the Marne in France commemo-
rating the battle Of the Marne, this
monument to be known as America S
Gift to France" This, an exchange
of courtesy for Frances gift to us
of the statute of liberty in New York
harbor.
Eugene p. Gum of Oklahoma City
has been appointed chairman of the
Oklahoma committee on Americas
Gift to France" and |. as state sup
erintendent of schols, have ben ap-
pointed as one member of the COM
mite.
"The funds for the erection of
this monument are to be raised en-
tirely by public subscription, there
by giving every person who desires
a chance to contribute. l am ex
ceedingly anxious that every school
child in Oklahoma be given the pri-
vilege of making a contribution.
with this in mind, | am recon-
mending that the county and city
superintendents take up this matter
with their teachers and ask them to
bring it to the attention of the child
rem, during the week of March %
81. with the understanding that no
child shall be permitted to give more
than five cents and that no school
room shall be permitted to give more
than one dollar Any child who does
not have the money shall not be ex
pected to give. If any teacher should
desire to give one dollar and have
her school room take the credit for
it she should be permitted to do So
The idea is that all shall have an
to give and none shall
feel compelled to give.
THE money collected should be |
sent in the form of a check or mon
ey order by the superintendent to
