A COUNTRY DISTRICT DOES IT-

Ann Arbor District #3, Raises $65

by a Box Social for its School Li-

brary

The pupils of school district No. 3

fractional Ann Arbor and Northfield

and their friends to the number of 200

held a box social at the home of J. M.

Braun Tuesday evening. Miss Lettie

Carrol!, the teacher, was in general

charge and those who were present say

she certainly knows how to manage a

social. The program consisted of an ad-

dress of welcome, by J. M. Braun; re-

citations, declamations, singing and

instrumental music by the school.

Commissioner Lyster, made an address

on educational matters. Rev. Fr.

Goldrick also made a brief speech.

The auction sale of 85 boxes of good

things developed a lively contest. All

were sold at a good price, the sum

netted by the social being $64.45. This

money will be expended for books for

the school library. The social was a

success in all respects. The literary

part of the program was good and the

social part all that could be desired.

Everybody went home pleased with

the evening's entertainment.

If the other school districts of the

county would take as much interest in

their school libraries, it would be an

excellent thing for the schools. The

sum realized in this wide-awake dis-

trict will buy a large number of good

books.
