[Sidenote: =With the Editor=]

We have received a number of inquiries from our young subscribers in
reference to what they may do for the soldiers and sailors. The
following circular letter which has just been received will, we feel
sure, interest all of our subscribers. The work outlined is certainly to
be commended, and we hope to hear of branches of this society being
started in other parts of the country.

FIRST NEW YORK AMBULANCE RED CROSS EQUIPMENT SOCIETY.

(Auxiliary to American Red Cross Relief Committee.)

Honorary President, Treasurer,
Bishop Potter. Robert Bacon
(J. P. Morgan & Co.).

"Orange, N. J., May 31, 1898.

"The First Dearborn-Morgan School Auxiliary of the
New York Ambulance Red Cross Equipment Society has
been organized for the purpose of interesting boys
and girls in the present relief work of the Red
Cross. The Red Cross is an international society
which was formed to give help to the wounded in
war-time, irrespective of friend or foe.

"The purpose of the New York Ambulance Red Cross
Equipment Society is to assist the Red Cross
during this war between America and Spain by
providing ambulances and ambulance launches for
moving sick or wounded soldiers to field hospitals
or hospital ships.

"All contributions to the First Dearborn-Morgan
School Auxiliary may be sent either to the
President or to the Treasurer.

"It is earnestly hoped that all boys and girls
will assist in this national work."
