EDUCATIONAL WAR BULLETIN
Protect the Children and the Schools

The state department of education
is joining heartily and vigorously il
the plan to get the older pupils into
productive labor, just as far as il
can be done wisely; our position or
that score is clear. But don't save
at the spigot and waste at the
bung!" England is already wishing
she had not used her children sc
recklessly at the beginning of the
war. Let America learn by Eng.
lands experience. In Europe in the
stress of sudden warfare, the child.
rem were, for the moment, forgotten
In England
In Great Britain, for instance
some of the first war economics were
in the educational system. School
buildings were taken over for mill
tary purposes; teachers enlisted; re-
pairs, building, appropriations, and
supplies were cut down; evening
schools, medical inspection, school
dentistry, and free lunches were
stopped or cut down. Thousands of
children of II and IL were excused
from school to go to work.
School System i'm Ruins
Thousands of children in England
are without teachers or schools. At
least 100000 children between II
and 13, have left school to go to
work. Sir James Yoxall said in
parliament, "A large portion of our
elementary school system is in
ruins"
Juvenile Crime
Juvenile delinquency in England
has increased at least "a per cent
since the war began. In Berlin in
1915 there were twice as many
crimes committed by children as in
1914.
What Shall We do i'm America?
The president said in his message
to congress calling for war: "My.
own thought has not been driven
from its habitual and moral course
by the unhappy events of the last
two months, and | do not believe the
thought of the nation has been al
tered by them. In other words, we
in this country still have our ideals
and principles intact. We must re-
main true TO Lnem.
School Children at Work i'm Idaho
Thousands of boys and girls are
going into the fields to work, some
of whom have never worked before.
1t is a fine thing, and will do them
a vast amount of good, in body,
mind and character. But there are
dangers. First to health, in that
some of them may be overworked
and suffer permanent injury from
over-fatigue and exhaustion. A colt
must be broken cautiously to hard
work, and not be overloaded before
his bones and muscles have harden
ed. Second, to morals. Some of
these children will go away from
home and lose the watchful care of
their fathers and mothers.
Guard the Young Workers
It is up to every grown man and
woman in Idaho to do their part
in safeguarding these children. Their
Narents are giving them to the coun-
try as truly as tho they went to the
front. They are enlisting as truly
as the boys who shoulder the rifle.
Who Will Fight Our Next War?
Nobody but the men and women
into whom these boys and girls are
TO grow. If there Is another war it
will be as much worse than this one
rs this is worse than any previous.
We snail need Drawn and brain and
human power then as never before.
Let us be wise now before 1t is too
