Bronze Drinking Fountain at Library Was Dedicated with Charming Mid-Winter Service

Several years ago, about Christmas time, an interesting little service was held outside the Morris-son-Reeves library, dedicating the little bronze fountain that now stands to the north of the library building, facing North A street, to the children and the dogs and cats and birds of Richmond. The statue wag made in Chicago and given by Mrs. W'illiam Dudley Foulko as a memorial to a pretty little curly dog named Eembo, which had been the pet of little Janet Urie, Mrs. Foulke's granddaughter, but which had been killed by an automobile. The figure of Bembo In bas-relief, which Btands out so clearly from the base of the fountain, is seen on the side of the fountain which faces the north. Older children may easily drink from the fountain, but it is too high for the littlest ones, and so, in planning the fountain, it was decided to add the little step on the south side of it so that the smallest children when thirsty, may get a nice, cool drink.. A circular basin at the base of the fountain proves a happy place for thirsty dogs and cats, and was made especially for them. Little birds also stop continually during the hot summer days for a cool sip of water. Janet Urie Unveils New ' Bronze Fountain At the time of the dedication, which was in the Christmas season, the fountan was decorated with bright red and green holly wreaths. Janet Urie, then a very little girl, unveiled the statue. Misa Margaret Mooney, who has taught many years in Richmond's schools, and who is now teaching first grade boys and girls In Vaile school, made a lovely little 6peech, accepting the fountain in behalf of the children of Richmond. Afterwards it was , said that it ought to be accepted for the dogs of the city.' Babbie, a beautiful collie dog, belonging to Mrs. Ada L. Bernhardt, must have heard the suggestion, and have understood the seriousness of his opportunity, for he walked sedately up to the fountain, took a long drink from the basin at its foot, wagged his tail by way of showing his appre-! elation, and then walked with

fitting dignity tack to his place in the little company. The little speech, made by Miss Mooney on that occasiou, follows: "We always think of a dear little baby as something especially sweet and pure, and so it seems particularly fittinfr that this beautiful fountain, intended to furnish purity in at least one way, should bo brought to view by dear little baby hands. "Children are our most precious asset. Nothing that tends to their welfare should be too costly to get it It Is at all possible. "GooJl -health for children Is farreaching:. It means a foundation for good health in maturer years, and, consequently, greater happiness and greater ability to perforin life's duties in the best way. An ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure, and so I believe it is far better to spend money to prevent evil than to allow evil to make headway and then have to spend vast amounts trying to uproot it. "Through the kindly thought and generous Impulse of Mrs. William Dudley Foulke, the children of Richmond have been given this fountain of purity, where they may quench their thirst in safety. "We all love little children none, perhaps, more than I, who have spent my life happily In their service, and know full well the depth of gratitude In theli loving little hearts. So, I am very happy Indeed, and appreciate the honor in being asked to speak for the children. I know they would say, "We thank Mrs. Foulke very much for this beautiful and useful fountain. We are very glad to have It. We appreciate the kindly thought and love which gave It to us. Wo accept It with joy and gratitude, and we will think of Mrs. Foulke and the dear baby, Janet Urie, every time we drink of Us pure water.' ' v ANSWERS TO RIDDLES

FINLEY CHILDREN ENJOY EGG HUNT

All the children of Finley school enjoyed the Easter party given by the Parer.t-Teaachers' club, Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock Colored eggs were hidden all over the school yard and we all had lots of fun finding them. Prizes were given to James and Ethel Ross, who found the most eggs. Community games were played by all the children from the kindergarten to the sixth grade. Mothers of the Parent-Teachers' club and teachers helped to make the affair a success. Candy eggs were given to all the children.

Probably most of you juniors know about them and have a group of them all the time, in your school, for they are being used a great deal In the city and township schools all the time. Last year, 13,000 of these pictures were Issued. There are over 5,600 cards and 2,000 stereoscopic pictures in this series. A great variety of subjects Is illustrated, often in color, and are larger than, and different from, the pictures in our study books. Some of the subjects, just a few of them, to give you an idea how many different kinds there are, follow: Pictures of the different states and countries; Indians, insects, industries (among these are lumbering and glass making); manufacturs; farm life, fruits, birds (a very large number of bird pictures); presidents of the United States: kings of England; gardens, trees, illumination of books; immigra tion, explorers and-gypsies. i-sejii time your room lias a program or you are making a special study of something, suggest that you have a picture exhibit and offer to go to the library to get mem.
