School Children Make 
Offering. 
The Manchester school children made 
the usual Thanksgiving offering for the 
poor of the city last week and the fol- 
lowing letter from Miss Abbie Hitch- 
cock, a former Manchester girl, is self- 
explanatory:

To the School Children of Manchester. 
I desire to thank the boys and girls 
and the teachers for their splendid 
Thanksgiving offering. The harvest 
truly must have been plentious with you. 
I wish I could express to you what your 
offering means to us and the poor girls 
in our care. 
You who have always had homes can- 
not realize what it means to be home- 
less, penniless, and friendless. This is 
the case with many of the girls. One 
of the girls who helped unpack the bar- 
rels is a 17 year old girl, no home, no 
friends, inexperienced in any kind of 
work. Consequently she was out of 
money aimlessly walking the streets. 
She was arrested, has served her time in 
prison. Through the prison commis-

saved this experience. ‘This is the story 
of but one girl out of hundreds in our 
cities. 
Your offering has gone to help girls 
with similar experiences altho’ the ex- 
periences of some are far sadder. 
Thank God as you never have before, 
for your home, your friends and the 
beautiful town in which you live. 
I wish you could have seen the happy 
and eager faces of the girls as the barrels 
were opened. The chickens have made 
a delicious meal already and the squash 
with the boy’s name grafted into it serves 
at present as an ornament. 
Could you have been with us on this 
Thanksgiving Day I think that you would 
have felt repaid for the trouble which 
you must have taken in preparing this 
very generous donation for us, and [ do 
hope that Thanksgiving Day has meant 
more to you for making it mean so much 
to us. 
Thanking you most sincerely. 
Very truly yours,
