seriousness, it is a matter of more
than passing interest to know what
part the schools are taking in this
great struggle in which our nation
is now engaged. The school popula-

fifth of the total average population;
it is a part of nearly every home and
has a powerful influence in tho
home; its membership is made up of
the most impressionable, the most
responsive and it may not be amiss
to say, the most potentially patriotic
citizens of the nation.
