Save Gold and Silver for Auxiliary Benefit The Woman's auxiliary of the Epis- copal diocese of Chicago is to give a Gold and Silver sale the third or fourth week in October, for the benefit of St. Margaret's school in Tokyo, Japan, which was destroyed in the earthquake of 1923. Mrs. Carl A. Gowdy of Oak Park has been chosen general chair- man, with Mrs. Hathaway Watson of Winnetka as vice chairman. Each parish is to have its own representa- tive. Members of the Episcopal churches are requested now to commence sav- ing old silver, gold and jewels for con- tribution for the two-day sale that is to take place in the Loop. Gold and Silver offerings and sales have been staged with success in sev- eral dioceses of the Episcopal church, and the Woman's auxiliary, having felt the challenge of the need of St. Mar- garet's, has decided upon this means of raising funds. St. Margaret's school in Tokyo, founded in 1877, is a secondary school for girls, licensed by the Government Board of Education. Girls enter at 13 for a five vears' course. Seventy-five percent of the Christian girls and wom- en of Japan are graduates of St. Mar- garet's. At the times of the earthquake in 1923, there were six-hundred girls enrolled with a staff of about forty teachers. The earthquake utterly de- molished the school. Six weeks later St. Margaret's was re-opened in quar- ters loaned by Mr. Ishii, a Christian Japanese, who gave up ten rooms in his orphanage to house the four hundred St. Margaret's girls. Here they lived a year and a half. Immedi- ately after the earthquake, the Japa- nese government offered Bishop Mec- Kim $35,000 for five years without in- terest and at a nominal interest for twenty-five years longer to keep the school open until other arrangements could be made. Land has been pro- cured and temporary quarters put up but they are entirely inadequate both as to space and comfort.
