A BIG POUND PARTY Contributions Made Today to the Santa Claus Clnb. CHARITY OF THE SCHOOL CHILDREN Interesting Scenes This Morning in the Public Schools. TO AID THE NEEDY This was the day appointed for the big pound party ef The Evening Star Santa Claus Club If any one doubted it his doubts would have been dissolved by the sight of the school children this morning heading for their different buildings, for the most part loaded down with donations for the relief of suffering among the very poor of the city. It is needless to say that the pound party is a big success. When an army of more than forty thousand children take hold of a thing like that, with hearts full of sym- pathy for their less fortunate brothers and sisters in the community, it 1s bound to be a big success. A pound party is an admirable institution, in that the results of concerted effort of that sort are tremendous, while there is no drain on any one. There are very few peo- ple in Washington, outside of the actual beneficiaries of the charity, who are not able to give a pound of something—a pound of flour, a few potatoes, a little sugar. One person giving that way accomplishes very little, but when a whole town be- comes interested, and each individual feels called upon to join in with the movement, the pounds pile up into tons, just as a heavy srowfall is made up of the myriad flakes falling singly. Last year, when the general distress was even more pronounced than it is this winter, the appeal for aid through The Star pound party was an- swered in a way that surprised even the most sanguine and enthusiastic, and for days and weeks during the hard@t part of the winter hundreds of destitute families were comfortably provided for out of the proceeds of that memorable outpouring of charity. This year a slight change was made in the arrangements, and the pound party was held by the children of the scHools who make up The Evening Star Santa Piling Up. Claus Club. Last year the pounds were all collected in two or three places only, so that they made a much more imposing dis- play—mountains of flour, hundreds and hun- dreds of pounds of sugar, coffee, tea, tons of petatoes and other staple ariicles. This year every school room in the District was made the place of deposit, so that the contributions were scattered around in hundreds of little piles. For ‘his reason it was impossible to make even the roughest estimate of the total proceeds of this pret- ty form of practical charity, but by noon tomorrow all will probably have been col- lected, so that one can know just how much can be accomplished by the concerted action of the school children. A Lesson Im Charity. One of the firmest believers in the advan- tages of this form of giving is Mr. W. B- Powell, the superintendent of the public schools. Said he to a Star reporter this morning: “It would be hard to overestimate the benefits that accrue from this system- atic way of giving. It teaches the children, from the youngest to the oldest, the lesson of charity and the beauty of giving to the needy, and they are not slow to see what ean be accomplished by united effort in good works. I am very glad indeed that the children have been given another op- portunity to show their generosity, and I cannot see that anything but good would result if similar calls were made two or three times a year, instead of once during the winter.” ae Many a little pupil went home from school yesterday aftefnoon firm in the d termination to do something toward mak- ing the pound party a success, and pan- tries were ransacked to find something that ould be nice to take to school this morn- ing. In many of the school rooms big boxes had to be brought in to accommadate Proxy. the pounds, and the best part of it all, frem the standpoint of theoretical charity, was the glow of happiness that comes from well doing animating the hearts and minds of the children as they deposited their lit- ue offerings on the teacher’s desk or in the particular corner that had been designated for the purpose. From the practical point of view this good effect will be quite equaled by the effect the groceries will have on the empty larders of the poor. “It's a great institution,” said a man on a street car to a Star reporter this morn- ing. “But it works in curious ways some- times. Now, my little girl had conceived the idea that nothing would be as nice to take as a pound of granulated sugar. She woulda’t Hsten to anything else, and my playful efforts to convince ner that lump sugar would answer just as well failed ut- She got what she wanted, bless her bless the pound party, too, say ne, for it has taught my little girl on that she will never forget as long ¢ lives, I am sure, the lesson of gen- y and interest in the needs of others. ‘ot all the pounds by any means* were taken to the schools. Many people who have not been inside a school room for years took advantage of the opportunity to bring pou of groceries and other good things direct to The Star office, so that by afternoon there was a goodly pile in the big room in the rear of the building on the lith street side, which had been cleared and set aside for the purpose. In- cidentally it might be as well to say right here that the doors of the reom will not be losed tomorrow, and any one, child or grown person, who feels that he would like THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MA®,: EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 75th meridian time.

Then it was seen that the contributions received before 9 o'clock in each room footed up to a most encouraging amount. In the first division, which includes some of the largest schools in the city, the contrioutions were on a very generous scale. All sorts of things were brought and piled up, but as a rule it was coffee, flour, tea and staple articles of that sort that predominated in the va- rious piles. First Division. In the Franklin building big boxes were placed in the halls on the several floors to A Little Girl and a Big Bundle. be used only for potatoes, and all of these were well filled during the morning session. Groceries in lavish profus:on were collected in every room, and it dii one’s heart good simply to make a tour of the building and figure out how many gocd, hearty meals could be provided for the poor from the contributions In that one schcol alone. At the noon recess many of the children who went home to luncheon, children who had forgotten to bring a pound in the mornihg, remembered to ask for semething to take back with them, so as rot to be left out from the fun of giving, an appeal that was rarely if ever refused by their mothers or big sisters. Mr. C. S. Clark, the stpervising princi- pal of the first division, whose office is at the Dennison building, said that judging by what had been brought kefore school hours this morning it was safe to say the results of the party in’ his division would be most satisfactory. He could not, he said, make any estimate of the amount re- ceived until late this afternoon, for he was satisfied that what had already accumu- lated would be more thin doubled by what the scholars would bring when they came back from the noon recess. Second Division A. The first floor of the Seaton schoo] build- ing, the headquarters of second division A, looked like a veritable wholesale and retail grocery store this morning, and in the afternoon the supply was augmented by another large supply frem the pupils for The Evening Star pound party. The list of supplies received embraced everything in the way of non-perishable provisions, and th> teachers expressed themselves as highly gratified with the prempt response cf the appeal for the poor. Supervising Principal Gage, who has charge of that district, said he had every reason to believe that when the other buildings had been heard from several big loads would be added to the store of sup- plies. He also expected that a quantity of money would be turned in, for it was known that some of the pupils had con- tributed money. Second Division B. Secund division B includes a number of school buildings under the supervision of Mr. W. B. Patterson, and the contributions from the pupils of this district were grat- ifyingly large. The largest school in this division is the Gales building, corner of Massachusetts and New Jersey avenues, a twelve-room building. The other buildings = ——— = in the division are eight rooms each, con- sisting of the Arthur, Blake, Blair, Taylor, Madison and Pierce, together with two smaller schools on the Bladensburg road and at Langdon. Loess The children in this division were noti- fied officially of the coming pound party Wednesday evening, and manifested imme- diately considerable interest in the event. The result was that, notwithstanding the short notice given, the ohildren responded generously today. At the Gales building a great stack of provisions was piled high up th: the main hall by 9 o'clock, and was added to during the forenoon by the morn- ing scholars, and when the afternoon con- tingent of pupils came upon the scene they doubled the pile. The little “ones at the Gales school were ina glow of excitement this morning when they brought in their respective offerings. The gifts to the pound party collection included almost every im- aginable article of food in daily use. One little girl staggered in under a sack of flour nearly as big as “herself. Another brought a big basket of apples. Tea, cof- fee and sugar were hot favorites with the children, and canned goods appeared in profusion in the pile. Some of the little ones who forgot to bring their donations in the morning, or came off In too much of a hurry to collect it, were overcome with remorse at their negligence when they saw the gifts of the other children, and scooted home at recess, to return happy and flushed, loaded with good things contributed tothe common ‘ond, By 12 o'clock Mr. Patterson, the super- vising principal, had received communica- tions from the other buildings in his bail- iwick, reporting that the contributions were coming in liberally, and that there was every reason to expect a handsome collection at each of the school buildings. At some of the buildings in quarters of the city not inhabited by the wealthy classes the donations were not as exten- sive as in others, but even here the spirit of generosity was apparent, and while the children may not have had the means to exhibit it as they would have done, they contributed thelr little mite with a cheerful eart. The Third Division. In the third division there was a liberal response to the appeals of The Star for the poor by members of The Star’s Santa Claus Club. The contributions came in large quantities, and consisted of a variety of articles. At the Wallach building a large dry goods box was placed in the hall, and in it were deposited potatoes, apples and onions by the scholars as they arrived at the building. A number of the contributors brought canned goods, tomatoes, corn, etc., and a favorite gift for the poor was flour, which was brought by some in sacks with- out confining themselves to a pound, and An Order on the Grocer. by others in smaller bags. Sugar, coffee, cornmeal, cracked oats, tea, etc., were also favorite contributions. At 12 o'clock, when the pupils went to their homes for luncheon, there was another addition to the store of goods for the poor. In the Eastern High School building and in the Towers the result was the same. In the third division contributions will be removed from the school buildings to §22 C street southeast, where Mrs. J. W. Babson and Mrs. J. A. Sutherland will see that they are assorted and distributed to the needy. Fourth Division. It wes a lively day at the Jefferson school building at 6th street and Virginia avenue southeast, the headquarters of the supervising principal of the fourth divis- fon. In fact, it was a lively day at all the schools in this division, and the scenes at the Jefferson building were counterparts of the same activity in the other buildings. Supervising Principal Fairbrother ex- pected a busy day, but the actual results far exceeded his most sanguine expecta- tions. Packages of ail kinds and all sizes flowed in the school room in the morning, noon, and even after the closing hours. And the most important thing lies in the fact that the donations to the pound party were made by the children only, not out- siders sending in contributions. The Fifth Division. 5 The pupils of the schools under Super- vising Principal Jarney made a generous response to the appeal for The Star’s pound party. A wagon lead of food materials, and in some csses much more than a wagon load, was received at each one of the buildings, and these will be added to the grané total. Sixth Division B. In all the public schools under the charge of Supervising Principal Freeman the con- tributions of food materials for The Star's pound party were very liberal, and com- prised almost every article that can be used in a household for eating purposes. The schools mentioned are Tyler, Buchan- an, Cranch, in the city, and Van Buren, Anacostia, and the two ‘colored schools in Hillsdale.’ The aggregate of contributions amounts to very considerable and will re- eve a great many deserving people. 5 The Colored Schools. In the colored schools the pound party was participated in by many of the schol- ars, and the showing made is really very gratifying. Considering the circumstances one would not expect much from the color- ed children, but they gave an excellent account of themselves today. Cash Contributions.
