RETURN BOYS TO COLLEGE.

Richmond, Va. Aug. 27.-The Coun-
ell of Defense is making an effort to
induce parents to permit their sons to
return to college this fall in every
case where it is possible to do so. The
Council is sending out Il letter calling
attention to this particular matter as
follows:
Our best preparation for the war
,ay in the fact, not that we had con-
structed vast ornaments, but that we
had been turning out of our institu-
lions of higher learning thousands
upon thousands of men with trained
intelligence and scientific skill. In this
respect we were preparing for war bet
Ger than we knew. Should this prepa-
ration cease now that war has come
Far from 1T. On the contrary, it should
be greatly Increased The successful
prosecution of the war alone demands
this.
But in time of war we should also
prepare for peace. Who can calculate
the human energies that will be re-
| CURED to rebuild the new and better
| civilization that is to rise on the ruins
of this war?
the allied nations are calling upon
us now for 10000 engineers and skill
ed men to repair the railroads of Eng
land, France and Russia. Service
abroad will not end with the war.
Engineers, civil, mechanical, electri-
cal, mining, sanitary,-will be need
ed to rebuild the new old world. And
what need there will be of human
engineers, those who can mend brok-
en- hearts, enlighten beclouded intel
iccts!, restore human friendships. es-
tablish ideals. regulate conduct, ster-
health.
Meanwhile, what of the demand
for thoroughly trained leaders and
workers ut home? How great this de-
mand Immediately becomes. Ameri-
ca must go forward, not backward.
AZ TINS point we must avoid the mis-
take made by other nations at war
that of seeing only the needs of TODAY
and OF failing to provide for the great
er needs of the days to come"

The rat carries bubonic plague and
many other diseases fatal to man and
has no doubt been responsible for
more untimely deaths among human
beings than all wars of history.
In the United States rats and mice
destroy each year in homes, in fac
tories, stores, and warehouses, in
cars and on ships, crops, poultry, and
other property valued at more than
100000, OO0-an amount equivalent to
the gross earnings of an army of
100000 men.
Grain, eaten and wasted by rats
and mice on many farms, would pay
all the farmers taxes.
