SCHOOL DAYS AGAIN

The boys and girls of Wauseon are
glad that they may begin their school
work again next Monday. They have
enjoyed the home work and great
out for more than three
months and now they are glad to have
a change. The school rooms are all
clean and cheerful; there will be some
new books, new teacher, new work,
a new room, some new things to
learn, and some new friendships to
form. There will also be some old
friends to greet-friends that have
not met since last May-both on the
playground and in the school room
and school books. No wonder the
boys and girls are happy.
Il This year school has new signi-
'iance, or rather we have a new un-
derstanding or appreciation of the
work of our schools. More than ever
, before we realize that here must be
developed patriotic American citizens,
that every boy and girl has work to
, do, place to fill and country to love
; and serve. To do these things well
: is real patriotism. The schools and
teachers will strive valiafftly to train
the children for this great service and
/ with the hearty cooperation of pupils,
5 parents and community great results
will certainly obtain Never has the
S demand for trained minds and strong
bodies been as great as today. There
t is every reason to expect that the de-
: mand will increase. President Will
4 son and other government officials are
). urging that the schools and colleges
t be filled this year in order that our
1 youth may be enabled to meet these
6 demands. European countries neg
;. lected education the last few years
). and already rue it and are therefore
urging US not to make the same mis-
take, 1t is then a very important
and patriotic duty that oil school
n children of school age be in school
regularly and that parents see to it
IL that this is done This is true of
/ high school and college as well as of
.e the elementary grades.
