HIGH SCHOOL
AND UPPER GRADES
MONDAY, OCTOBER |, THE
HIGH SCHOOL AND UPPER
GRADES WILL REPORT
WILL GET BUSY.

Last week an appeal was made for
manual work during this time OF
need. This week, on the eve o. the
tention is called to the Importance OF
carrying on our educational work.
Government officials, from the Presi-
dent of the U. s. down, and Military
officers from highest to lowest, urge
US to not commit the blunder of neg
lecting the education OF the youth
because, in the reorganization OF the
world which is bound to come after
the war is over, intelligence and
skill OF an unusual order will be need
ed. An open letter addressed by
Estate Superintendent Ross of Kan
sas to the youth of that State well
expresses the need. He writes:
THE schools of Europe have vir-
tually been transferred to the trench
es. Thousands of their students and
graduates are dead upon the field
of battle: still other thousands are
yet to make the supreme sacrifice. !
Soon we must add our share t. this
Offering to liberty and civilization. |!
When these have finally been made /
safe, devastation and Generalization
unparalleled will prevail This ruin
will not be merely physical and ma
terial. Ideals will have been shat
tered, education will have been Grip
pied Christianity itself will have
suffered.
Peace will bring with it problems
even greater than those the war
has brought The world will have to
be rebuilt, society will have to be
reorganized, civilization will have 10
b remade. To prepare to perform
this hcrculean task; to be ready
to take the places of those whose
learning no longer avails; to fit
themselves to step into places OF
leadership made vacant, and still h
other places of leadership never yet
filled, these arc the supreme oppor-
tUnity, the sacred obligation of our
young men and women of school age.
To meet the demand is a matter of
opening OF schools in this our first ,
year of the war, | call the youth to
their colors."
1t is desired that all who expect ,
tc be in school during the year
shall be present and register on
Monday morning in order that
program of work may be made with
as great accuracy as possible, and
that each student may be sure of be-
ing assigned to the work he wants a
b. especially true of vocational class o
es where working space is limited I
and the policy Of first come first v
served" has to be adopted
If the labor situation continues to a
demand our help, the schools will a
be found loyal to community interests
and will continue to do their share p
in the important matter of prevent
ing the waste of our products. The
SupAAtendent will grant limited
time permits to students who are ac- n
tually needed for picking anksspack-
ing the fruit crop, and will give F
time credit in school for such Il
work. In other words, the time rec
~ in school will be complete so R
long as the pupil ~ actually work
ing in some place where there is a
urgent need of caring for the pro-
ducts of the communicating the per- H
NIT is secured before there is
record of absence against the stu
dent In this time of labor stress
no one needs to be a law-breaker as
a permit can be secured on the
showing that there is actual need of p
help. No pupil should beSout of ir
school after October / without hav- .,
ing permit as provid.d by law,
since the permit can be had merely a,
for the asking, if there is need for 1t. a,
