The Institute does this because it |
believes the youth of our country is |
being robbed by an unduly war. Such !
q burden forced upon~o our boys ana
girls is most unjust and wicked. What
ever we can do to lift it will be done.
Now let the parents who wish to
respond with their part of the sacrifice. !
It is worth while, a million times over.
There will be many provisions made
foE students who wish to board them
selves. They have the food having
raised it on the farm. and it means
little to bring il. The cost in this way
would be reduced to d minimum, and
The hours and rules and regulations
Will be over those outside the same as
those within the buildings. In this
way it will make it possible for man.
