Chairmen of these districts secure leaders, women and high school girls and boys. Each leader rounds up the children in the neighborhood to sing.
The supervisor of music in the Lakewood schools has carols taught in the schools. The children love to go out and hundreds of younger ones and shut-ins as well as the rest of us look for them anxiously on Christmas Eve.
About 2000 children take part. Besides there are a number of groups from churches, Lourdes Academy, Mother singers, etc. The returns have been as much as $1200 in one evening. It is the only source of revenue for the Music Settlement. There the children receive instruction for a nominal fee- some free of charge.
