The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-12-17
BY H. M. COCHRAN
!. JULIUS ROSENNALD.

WIN JOEIOO hO0ENTNHLDs -
Listenaminit! A friend of Julius Ro-
senwald tells us the mail-order mil
1ionaire reads The Day Book every
night. Hence we want to give Ju-
Illus little tip.
You have been landed highly for
offering, conditionally, $4,000 to the
Chicago Woman's club. Alright,
letum laud. But we know where you
can get lot more lauds which will
be more laudy than this $4,000 laud.
Giving money away is easy -. if
you've got it to give. But giving it to
places where it will be used to great
benefit is another thing. This is not
a slap at the Chicago Woman's club.
We have already said: GO ahead and
let folks laud the $4,000 to that or
ganizatiOn."
But what we are getting at is this.
In case you have another $4,000,
more or less, to give away, we want
to mention the striking garment
workers. They need dough. They
gotta eat and they gotta have
warmth in their homes. Eats and
fuel cost dough. That's the dough
they need.
Honest to Pete, Julius, We'll laud
you if you hand some coin to the
striking garment workers. They
will appreciate it and it is well worth
the while. Ask Frances Crane Lille!
Sidney Hillman has asked The
Day Book to appeal to strike fund
contributors not to stop sending in,

WHAT STUDENT SOLDIERS

VITAL SIODEN OOLDlERS
COULD EEARN.-There are hun
dreds of thousands of boys in the
United States who are thirsting for
educational advantages which they
cannot get. That they may make
their livings they have to quit school
at any point from the fourth grade
upwards and never return.
They need vocational training. They
need to study agriculture, mining.
factory work, railroading, metal
working, stock raising, rural teach
ing, wood working, forestry, plumb
ing, steamftting, running engines,
carpentry, bricklaying, blacksmith
ing-a hundred or thousand things
which common schools, academies
and colleges cannot or do not give,
or which they cannot get because
they must make living.
Why cannot the United States gov
eminent take these boys and train
them as soldiers and as citizens at
the same time?
Why cannot the nation give these
boys-hundreds and hundreds of
thousands of them-the education
they need while serving in the army?
Great idea-worth thinking about
isn't it?
