D. Hammelbaugh of the school board, chairman of the school work committee.

There are forty-three small tubercular youngsters in the Susquehanna building under the instruction of Miss Marian Williams. The "open air" small folks sold on an average of 235 per child. The Uest SnW-MBlrl The best salesgirl incidentally Is a pupil in the "open, air" school. She is pretty Miss Evelyn Mair, who sold 5,700 seals.
