EVERY ONE MUST HELP
TO FINANCE THE WAR
School Lesson Points Out Need
for Universal Action
for Victory

The program Of war lessons FOR the pupils
Of the Philadelphia public schools has been
outlined. The war lessons are 10 be taught
daily, ON Monday next many Of the in
teresting details Of war financing viii be
explained. The lesson has been prepared
by the school mobilization committee and
is as follows:
In wartimes governments need vast
sums Of money to meet the extraordinary
expenses Of military and naval opera
tons In ordinary times Of peace each
man is expected to earn his own liycli-
hoCd and to support his own family. But
when more than n million men are taken
from their ordinary occupations and put
into the army and navy. il is the duty Of
tho Government 10 provide for them. The
Government must furnish comfortable
uniforms, wholesome diet and adequate
protection from the weather. And il
must furnish the best grades Of all these
things. Cheap grades of shoes and cloth
ing, which might be satisfactory for the
ordinary citizens life, will last but few
days or weeks in the strenuous life Of
the army or navy; cheap foods, which
might furnish sufficient nOurishment for
US in our peaceful work. do not give
enough vital force to meet the great ac-
tvities and hardships Of the men in the
service.
The men in the service must be prop
erly and elaborately equipped, Fighting
machines Of all kinds must be prepared
for them Battleshps. submarines, de-
stroyers, transports airplancs. automo-
bile trucks, rifles, machine guns. artll-
lery and thousands of articles rarely used
in times Of peace must be furnished the
men.
Factories for the production OF many
OF these things must be constructed out
Of factories producing things for times
Of peace. Millions of men must he paid
TO make articles for the use OF the men
in the service. No one could use such
things in ordinary times. and hence the
Government must contract with manu-
facturers and workmen TO deliver goods
which no one but tho Government needs.
If you read over these paragraphs
carefully you win realize how enormous
ly the Governments expenditures increase
IN wartime. Not only must the men
in the service and their families be pro-
vided for. but also an industrial army
many times larger than the army OF
fighters must be kept at work producing
all the variety of accouterments, am
munition and weapons of destruction useu
in modern warfare. For every man en-
tered in the army and navy the Gov
eminent will eXpend In the first year OF
the war nearly $4,000, or a total Of more
than S2O.000,O00,00O.
