GAVE PUPILS THRIFT STAMPS

The South Meadow school in Newton township, taught by Miss Oka Pancoast, closed Thursday with a well-rendered patriotic program, which was greatly enjoyed by the patrons and visitors present. Conservation of food was patriotically observed by the teacher as she especially requested the patrons to omit the usual big dinner on account of the great waste of broken food. As the first step in the teaching of conservation and thrift Miss Pancoast presented to each pupil his first Thrift Stamp at the close of the program.
