education City Superintendent Christensen said that it has always been strictly enforced except in the q case of the San SlUt Francisco disaster when the children of Salt SaIt Lake raised a substantial fund for the sufferers I At that time the quo qUeE lon Ion was raised by a member of the board If It It were not establishing a dangerous precedent to solicit funds In the schools to which the pertinent answer was made that the disaster was as without precedent In the tue same wa way said Mr tr 11 Christen Christensen a sen the present opportunity may be considered as without precedent and not hot likely to occur again and yet et It will be to mo very ver cautious i lv h in the matter Personally Per I should O 0 defer to the sound judgment and lofty motives mothes of Governor Spry but it is a matter that will need neel the endorsement of the board of education It Is the purpose of or the rule to safeguard the Income of the home homp and it is of ot course understood that contributions from the y i child n come from froni the family The school is a public Institution and nd should not furnish an avenue for con contri tri trl to any cause except in the most unusual circumstances James T Hammond president of the board of ot education said that It would O be he necessary to bring the matter be Le Lefore fore at the next meeting mooting on April 12 1 He felt that If the children of ot the state were to contribute that the thetty dt tty Ity Children would not want to OJ ba left l ft out and that since It Is an occasion for contribution that would probably L occur only once onlie In a lifetime that there was certainly much to be said In fa favor faor a avor vor or of ot permitting It Xo No decision can cn be reached how Itow however S ever eer said Mr Hammond until the board acts in the matter z |
