SCHOOL COLLECTIONS.
Six,—ln the Herald of July 8, there is an article tm "School Collections. Mrs. G. A. TrU >e sought the approval of the Board of "Education of a proposal to ask the children for subscriptions of a penny each to\y ard the purchase of a gramophone 'and records for the children in Ward 2d of the public hospital. I think the idea is a splendid one, and it would make./every child going to school feel that he o'« she was helping to brighten the lives of i heir little afflicted brothers and sisters. I t /jink it is much to be deplored that Mr. B >ddie has so emphatically protested a gainst the. proposal. I cannot believe t hat any family of even three attending school would feel "'hardly hit" by subj scribing threepence to such a good cause, i The spirit of " service, not self," should be encouraged in our public schools, and if the gift is made optional I cannot see with Mr. Boddie that the principle is wrong absolutely. L. Daw.
