UNITED CHARITIES
FOR LAMPASAS
*
The organization of the society for the purpose • of helping the
worthy poor, punishing the professional beggar, who is able to
support himself, and protect the generously inclined is now pro-
posed for our city.
When organized, all funds for charitable purposes will be un-
^ ler the direction of this organization and it will be expected that
Fno begging will be allowed nor soliciting by anyone for any pur-
pose except the local churches and chaTitable institutions of our
county, unless the County Judge or the secretary of the United
Charities give written permission to do so.
It is also expected that no one will hinder the operations of
the society by contributing to any solicitor for help or giving to
any beggar who may solicit your money who is not a citizen of our
county, but all such cases be referred to the active members of
this society and also reported to the same that investigation may
be made.
There will be twelve men appointed as directors and three
active men to keep a perfect record of all cases applying for help.
The Commissioners’ Court has appointed these three man and it
shall be their duty to report the work of the United Charities at
each meeting of the court.
There will be an annual solicitation for funds for the main-
I tenance of this organization. Ail who assist with their means will
be given a membership card which usually makes the owner im-
|mune from the professional beggar. We believe this organization
pill meet a long felt want in our city and county. We solicit your
m-operation, fellowship and help.

j A National Week of Song.
Forces at work among public
| school instructors and children
within the last few years have
fathered a movement for the
observance of a National week
of song, the plea being primar-
ily for more music in the school,
believing that music is an es-
sential element in the All-round
development of the child. Out-
side of the school held, however,
interest has become manifest in
the movement wherever it has
become known. It is being plan
ned. under the inspiration of the
Mothers and Teachers’ Club of
this city with the assistance of
the teachers of the public school
and the Harmony Club to ob-
serve a week of song for next
week, which includes Washing-
ton’s Birthday. In accordance
with this idea, the ministers of
the city have agreed to preach
a sermon on the value of song
in public worship, and special
attention will be given to the
grand old hymns at these ser-
vices.
In the public school, the
teachers, assisted by Mr. Word
Smith and otheys, are training
the children in the singing' of
patriotic and folk songs.
Mrs. J. R. Key, assisted by
other ladies is preparing a pa-
triotic program by the school
children to be held on Washing-
ton’s birthday, Feb. 22, at 2:30
o’clock at the high school audi-
torium. At this time the High
School Glee Club will render a
specially prepared chorus and
the boy scouts of the city will
also sing several songs.
On Friday evening at 8 o’clock
at the High School auditorium,
the Harmony Club will entertain
the public_with. a unique*'pro-
gram'of “Living Songs in Liv-
ing Pictures,” illustrating
twelve or more favorite songs.
Mrs. H. F. Lewis, being ap-
pointes by the Mothers and
Teachers’ Club, is superintend-
ing the National Week of Song
and desiresthat during the next
week every family in the city
will give special thought to mus-
ic in the home by singing with
the family and giving singing
parties and home concerts.
It is hoped that singing the
songs that have stood the test
of time will be the principal fea-
ture of the week, and that other
rr^usic, vocal and instrumental,
may be used to give variety to
the National Week of Song. X
