Sale to Raise Funds
For Purpose.

L
many Of whom are said to be made
quately nourished. members of the
Parent-Teachers' Association OF the
/ Wallach-Towers School. Seventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue

provide free milk and crackers for

The association through Its presi-
dent. Mrs. Howard Wilson and the

Miss Rollings have broadcasted an
appeal to parents and residents in
that vicinity to assist in making the
sale the greatest success in the his
| tory of the association.
Members have promised their aid
In furnishing a large number of
home baked cakes. They. with the
teachers, will be in charge of the
selling.
Statistics read at a recent meet
ing OF the association by Mrs. f.
W. Patterson showed that the
health of the approximately 500
children attending the school is at
a lower percentage than for many
years past. II has been definitely
established, according to members
of the association, that milk and
crackers given the children during
the long school hours are essential
| for the building up OF their bodies
as well as their minds.
Although some OF the children can
be furnished daily with the neces-
sites there are many who can't af-
ford to buy the milk and crackers.
II was pointed out. 1t is for that
reason. according to officials, that
the association. Is endeavoring to
raise the funds to supply all the
children during the present school
year.
