A Plea For The Sewing School

A PLEA FOR THE SEWING SCHOOL

We are about to begin the twentieth year of our sewing school -- that is if we receive our usual assistance from friends. The school has been in existence since 1877. It was then organized as a temperance school and continued such for five years, then new departments were added, the sewing department growing year by year until now our average attendance is seventy. this year will be our twenty-fifth in the work and we wish to remind our friends that we are to call it our linen and silver anniversary. We will be happy to receive donations of any kind of material that we can use for making garments -- viz., prints, ginghams, factory, etc. -- also for our twenty-fifth anniversary a piece of silver is solicited. It costs about $75 a year to carry on our work and we hope to receive $25 before we begin, as we must buy our material and prepare the work for the children.

Will our friends bear us in wind and send money or material to Mrs. Carrie E. Walker, 620 S. State street, or to the superintendent.

M. S. BROWN,
