OUTLINE OF THE PROGRAM

Washington will be among the first
.cities Of the land to begin a campaign
in the schools for the sale of thrift
stamps and war savings certificates
when IT inaugurates the movement in
grade and high schools tomorrow.
The plan to be followed here will be
substantially in line with the plan
outlined by Frank A. Vanderlip, chair
man of the national war savings COM
mittee. Supt. Thurston of the public
schools is in charge of the work in the
schools of the city.

Mr.. vanderlip's Suggestion.

The plans of Mr.. vanderlip for start
ing 100000 school children saving
through purchase of war stamps en-
body a program to be conducted within
the schools in connection with the reg
ular Institutional routine and provide
for the systematic maintenance of the
interest of children in saving.
THE school teacher is the pioneer
outpost of the government, standing at
the threshold of the nations homes"
says Mr.. Vanderlip. The schools of
America are tho single units where a
national resolution can form and
spread overnight into every household.
The school teachers are the rallying
ground for the best beloved possession
of a country-its children To the
teachers belong the splendid privilege,
the solemn duty, of rallying them
around the flag and then implanting in
their hearts and sending into the homes
of America the message which will
keep that flag flying high"

While the itinerary of this nitrate
