"Dear Editor of the Saloniki:

"We kindly request you to print the attached letter of thanks in your distinguished newspaper.

"The Board of the Coraes Greek-American School on Chicago's South Side expresses its hearty thanks to all those who so willingly honored the small Christmas tree party by their presence, offering generously their material support.

"The board extends many thanks, especially to the board of directors of the St. Constantine Church for contributing twenty-five dollars toward 2the success of the occasion. It thanks Mr. M. Petropoulos for offering five dollars, and Mr. B. Rekas for donating the Christmas tree.

"Cordial thanks are also due to Mr. Spelios Papadopoulos, who, on the next day, offered to pay twenty-five dollars, his annual school contribution for the Coraes institution. This patriotic and noble gentleman said: 'While I am living and healthy, I shall pay twenty-five dollars every year for the school, which I consider the most sacred and highest national Greek institution.'

"May a great number of our people quickly follow the example of this generous man.

"From the school office."
