With the commendation of President Coolidge, Governor Small, Francis G. Blair, State superintendent of Public the appeal for continued aid for the hungry little ones in the Near East is being carried to every pupil in public schools throughout the land that they may "adopt" -as their Valentine one of the orphaned children overseas. The state committee, headed by for- mer Governor Frank O. Lowden, em- phasizes the fact that it costs but $60 yearly to provide food, clothing, shelter and vocational education to children in Near East orphanages which is equivalent to about seventeen cents a day and, as in former years, it is ex- pected that school gifts will range from this sum fo the $5 monthly which is sufficent to maintain a "valentine" in the oppressed countries where 100,000 children are wards of charitably in- clined persons in the United States.
