The children of the Training

Thanksgiving Day this year in a very
nappy way. The day before Thanks

teachers, the pupils of the several
grades brought simple gifts of fruit’
and staple foods, to be' sent to oth
ers, not so fortunate as themselves.
When all the gifts were collected it
was fount! that they filled several
large baskets.
