A sobbing little girl stood near a small school from which she had been turned away because it 'was too crowded'. "1 Can't go to School," she sobbed to a priest as he walked by. Seeing her shabby, Unkempt appearance, the priest guessed the reason and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the school class. The child was so t o u c h ed that she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to study.
Some two years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor tenement buildings and the parents called for the kindhearted priest, who had befriended their daughter, to handle the final arrangements. As her poor little body was being moved, a worn and crumpled purse was found which seemed to have been rummaged from some trash dump. Inside were found 57 cents and a note scribbled in childish handwriting which read, 'This is to help make the little school bigger so more children can go to school." For two years she had saved for this offering of love. When the priest tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do.
C a r r y i ng t h i s n o t e a nd t he cracked, red pocketbook to the'stage, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion. He challenged his assistants to get busy and raise enough money for the larger building. A newspaper learned of the story and published it. It was read by a realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands. When told that the school could not pay so much, he offered it for a 57 cent payment. Religious members too made large subscriptions. Cheques came from far and wide. Within five years the little girl's gift had increased to $ 2 5 0 , 0 0 0 -a huge sum for that time.
