REPORT FOR MONTH
OF DECEMBER, 1920
Mr.. Chairman, members Of commit
tee, your secretary beg leave to sub
NIT the following report:
The month Of December was month
Of very trying difficulties for the asso-
citation from financial standpoint, but
a very gratifying one from the stand
point of rendering service. We believe
without doubt that the salvation of
this work lies within the power of this
committee to take advantage Of every
opportunity to educate the people to
the real object of the association and
give them thorough explanation of
our present condition. The secretary
has discovered this during the month
as never before. A personal interview
with five citizens who made large
pledges to the association but had
failed to pay. The five interviewed
revealed the same feeling Of lack of
knowledge of the work this far accom-
plished. After the interview they ex-
press to me their understanding Of the
work, pledge themselves to pay their
pledges and use their influence with
their friends to do likewise.
I recommend that publicity and
educational campaign be put on some
time before our financial campaign.
Seven hundred and ninety-fve men
and boys visited the association dur
ing the month, including the twenty,
visitors who spoke of the great work
accomplished with the means that we
have to work with and of things to be
accomplished in the future.
During the month $4,000 was col
lected by the secretary on pledges. q
Finance on hand Jan. Is, 10000.
Amount paid out for same period $S5.
Amount in hand Of secretary to date,
$500. s5
Respectfully submitted,
Ernest. G. Robinson

THE CHILD WHO FAILS TO THANK

Ono gives not for gratitude. but BE-
cause one likes to give, one does favor1
because one likes to help. but there Are
always plenty Of directions In which
one can send ones gifts and service,
and one turns naturally to those direc-
tons where ono receives the encourage
ment and stimulation Of acknoWlsdg-
ment and appreciation.
Children are thoughtless ahoat these
things and are likely 10 be neElectful
unless prodded, and that is what mean
by the parents labelling themselves BY
the child's dlscourtesy.

Some days after that sent ~ LITTLE
girls some ten-cent store vanity cases.
II had heard that they were displaying
envelopes with bits OF glass and rough
towel as their vanity cases, and thought
it an opportunity to give much pleasure
At small outlay.) have already receiv-
ed two grateful letters thanking me
over and over for the lovely vanity
case and powder puff and powder
Yet the first little girl Is Just As nice
as the others. Only she has not been
made to realize that such small cour-
tesies should be Acknowledged.
This is the day Of tho child. In many
homes children arc 30 thoroughly ac-
customed to being constantly consider

that they get the take-it-for- granted
habit. 1t Is not good habit II will
not stand them in good stead when they
