RAISING MONEY TO
 HELP WORTHY STUDENTS

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Feb. GA campaign to raise $1O0,0O0 as a fund from which 50 high school students may be enabled each year, by money scholarships, to complete courses which otherwise would have to be ended for lack of funds, is under way here. So far as is known in Providence the project is the first of it's kind in the country.
 The system has made a good start, seven children in 1921 being given scholarships which allowed them to remain in school, and in 1922, eleven were so assisted.
 State Commissioner of Education Walter E. Ranger, in speaking of the plan said: "It promises to supply a grave need at a weak place in public education. While 96 per cent of the public's children from seven to four. teen years of age attend school, only 60 per cent of those in their fifteenth year, and forty per cent of those in their sixteenth year, are enrolled in school. Obviously any extension of school education must be for these years.

Ex-senator Salisbury.

President Coolidge's denomination

lican party in New England. accord
ing to former Senator Salisbury Of
Delaware, democrat, who has Just re-
turned to Washington from that Sec

bury made a number of speeches for
the Maine democrats. He said today
that the impression is general there
that the New England republicans
are 'shot to pieces" unless the Presi-
dent should be renominated.
The Presidents denomination, Sena-
tor Salisbury said, would. to a very
great extent swing the New England
states into line, where the Coolidge
sentiment is very strong. Unless he
is renominated, the democrats stand
very good chance to carry most of
the New England states. Senator
Salisbury said. He said he found a
wholesome democratic condition" in
that section.
Il am not given to exaggerating
democfatick chances" said Senator
Salisbury, "but.the sentiment in New,
England is so strong that: IL the next;
republican convention fails to nomi-,
nate Coolidge for President the re-.
sentiment will be SO great that think
England states. Coolidge is the first
President they have had in New Eng
land for nearly one hundred years and
they do not believe they would be
treated properly by the party If he
should be refused a denomination
after he has made good and there
is not a person in New England who
is willing to make himself audible
who does not believe he will make
good.
