SCH00L-TEACHERS TO AID
SALE OF LIBERTY BONDS
State Defense Council Takes Up SuK-
gestion OF DIR. John
II. Finley,

Plans for Virginia school-teachers to
aid in the distribution Of the next is
sue of Liberty loan bonds are being
considered by the State Council Of
Defense. The plan was suggested by
DR.. John Huston Finley, commissioner
Of education in New York. 1t calls for
the enlistment Of teachers as bond
statesmen, and they are asked to give
instruction and information to the
school children and to act as distrib-
utors OF circulars and collectors of
subscriptions.
Under the proposed plan each teach
er will talk 10 the children in her
class concerning government bonds,
and try to interest them with the aim
of getting their parents to buy bonds.
Besides distributing Liberty loan lit
erature. which will be supplied by the
Liberty loan committee the teachers
will collect subscriptions and forward
them to the local bankers committee.
Furthermore. each teacher will make
a personal visit to the home Of every
one OF her pupils for the purpose OF
soliciting bond subscriptions from the
parents.
Under the supervision Of the Treas
ury Department and the Liberty loan
committee Of the Federal reserve dis
tricts there is in preparation special
book Of instruction for the use Of
teachers.r
