High Schoolers Fast for Two Meals to Feed Starving Chinese, May 20, 1921

Fasting for the Starving

A lesson in learning to sympathize with others in need was taught in a very practical way recently at Brevard Institute, when the students had put before them the dreadful conditions in China. They did not merely deny themselves a little pocket change or a few luxuries, but they voluntarily fasted for two meals, in order that the cost of those meals might go to the famine fund.

From the front page of The Brevard News, May 20, 1921. Brevard Institute was a private high school.
