THE RUSSIAN CHILD

SCHOOL CHILDREN HELP

Contributions in, response to;the appeal made by the Red .Cross Society for funds to pay passage and other expenses . in. order to bring a child from Russia to its ■parents in New Zealand have now reached almost £90, and lists circulated among the banks and other commercial houses are beginning- to come in. In forwarding a subscription of 13s the children at- the Parewanui' School wrote as follows:—"The children of Parewanui School are . deeply sympathetic towards your society!s appeal on behalf of the Jitle isolated Russian girl, and it has been our desire to do something material in her aid. With every good, wish for her future happiness we take pleasure in forwarding the accompanying cheque." The spirit of self-sacrifice' on the part of children is further shown in this appeal by, the following letter from the Sunday school, children of Waituna West:— "The Waituna Sunday'school, children are interested in the case of the young girl you are endeavouring/ to assist with passage money, etc., to enable her to leave Kussia and join her parents, here.
