They have not enough funds on j hand; so have appointed Misses Ethel Pegram, Frances Thornwell. j I Mary Harris, Carrie Culp, Dora j Grisr. Ruby Heaglaud, Waiiet t? ; Gordon, Lena \Vhitesoll and Edna | Ferguson to solicit subscriptions 1 in behalf of the library donations of money, books or magazines, all of whioh will be thankfully received by them or auy of the teachers.
