Four others took respectively $18.80: $15: $11: $10: three brothers got $9.70 and seven others collected $5 and over. One boy who is only 6} got $15. The children in Shanghai have altogether by these cards collected since October, more than $900, and when 8 cards that are still out have been handed in, we expect that $1000 will have been reached, so that we may at once make preparations to send a present specially designated as being the proceeds of their exertions.

With other small sums Mrs, Petch has altogether handed in $276.20,
