There are few cities in this State or in any other state that can boast of as close co-operation between the city and its schools as Raleigh can. There has been within the last sev eral years renewed interest in educa tional affairs in Raleigh on the part of civic organizations and a brief re view of the work dene by these or ganizations will show the extent of the interest manifested. The fund to provide milk and free lunches for undernourished children has been, one of the most beneficial pieces of work done through the Parent-Teachers' Association. This fund has been liberally contributed to by the following clubs: Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, and Civitans. The Civitan Club has contributed substantial sum for buying books for the school library. The American Business Men's Club, by a very strenuous campaign, have done a wonderful piece of work for athletics in the high school. They asked one hundred business men to buy fifteen dollars worth of tickets apiece. This gave free admission to all baseball games to all high school students, and also brought in enough money to buy uniforms for the base ball team. . The Kiwanis Club has also been interested in helping high school graduates to enter -college. .Thi? xUiU., has a fund for this work and hopes to be able to help ambitious students who deserve a college education. The Business and Professional Wo men's Club are establishing a loan fund for girls who are anxious to take a business course. The Rotary Club has been espe cially interested in the Boy Scouts, and they have as individuals contrib uted enough to enable the Boy Scouts to purchase the Company Mills camp site. The Chamber of Commerce has been especially helpful to the Jour nalism Class and the civics classes in giving information and help. The Merchants Association, through individual members, have made The Raleigh Student possible. The Raleigh Student, which is given away to 2.000 .students and teachers, has been financed by the revenue ob tained by advertising. THE HENRY CLAY TREE T. C Kate J ill in MURPHEY P.-T. A.
