lens confronting our country is how

the realization OF the needs of the
children. 1t ia a sad commentary that
In the United states there are over
100000 baby deaths yearly. AT least
half Of these are preventable. or the
babies who survive, many thousands
drag through life handicapped because
of improper caro- in infancy.

PRESIDENT HAS SPOKEN

We must heed the ringing words of President Wilson on the subject that our schools be not disturbed, even though hundreds of thousands of our young men are summoned to the fields of battle. It would be suicidal for us to close our schools or to encourage our boys and girls not to get an edu- cation. There Is greater need than ever for trained men and women Every eff : fort must be put forth to educate our young people. We must keep our schools and colleges for both sexes open, not for the sake of the schools primarily, and yet they should make a strong. appeal to our sense of duty, but keep them open for the sake of our sons and daughters and future generations With the increasing eco- homie, social and political problems that will be forced upon us by the world conflict in which this great country of ours Is now plunged, 1t be- hooves us to see to 1t that education is not neglected but that it shall be put to the front as never before.

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

At Auburn and at the University of Alabama in competition with boys from the University's favored affiliated schools, StarlSe boys stand in the front ranks, and they win honors and money at famous colleges and universities out side of the state of Alabama.
 Notwithstanding the University of Alabamas treatment of Starke's school and notwithstanding the University of Alabama's opposition to Starke's meth ods, those methods bring remarkable results, and Starke-tralned boys are still signally proving the superiority of Starke's methods over the certify ing" system fostered by the University of Alabama

CHANGES AFTER WAR

There's another reason-a big one. The work of the world will go on after this war has ended. War or no war there must be skilled mechanics, electri- clans aeronauts, seamen, chemists, sani- tation experts, surgeons, business men. There will be fewer such after the war. That means there will be an unusually good opportunity for you to gain success and distinction in your chosen line of work. But you can't succeed, you can't gain distinction, if you have been a stacker in school"

BOYS MUST DO REBUILDING

'The best reason for your staying in school we haven't given yet It is not only that you can earn more money when you are man if you stay in school; it is not only that you will have a better chance to succeed, as an educated man, because so many educated men will have been lost. It is that, after this terrible war with it's tragic destruction, the world will have to be rebuilt. That will be your job . that is, you must do a part of the job. Which part will 1t be? Will it be an important part because you are fitted by education to do an important part. or will you just drift along, do ing what others tell you to do, fol- lower, if not a bungler?
