NORWOOD. April 11 — The Clean-Up club of Norwood school children is to give a practical demonstration of its work on a wholesale scale. Thursday has been assigned to the children of the Winslow and Balch schools by Superintendent of Schools Austin H. Fittz as a holiday, to be used under the direction of the principal of the schools, Miss Katherine Carbee, in cleaning up that section of the town. There will be over 400 children, ranging in age from 6 to 12 years, going about through that section and collecting the refuse, tin cans, and other such things, end carrying them off in wagons which the parents of the children will furnish. The superintendent has authorized Miss Carbee to do this, and to devote the day that purpose.
