Call for High School Graduates

II would particularly urge upon
the young people who are leaving our
high schools that as many of them Is
can do so, avail themselves this year
OF the opportunities offered by the
colleges and technical schools to the
end that the country may not lack All
adequate supply Of trained men and
women"
This significant statement came
from the lips of President Wilson .
few days ago. 1t maps out clearly
the course Of duty OF high school
graduates. The American college has
contributed so much to this great
war that it must not fail the govern
ment now-but 1t will fail II our high
school graduates fail the college.
The call for trained men was never
SO great The new National Army is
commanded by 10000 college trained
men. The requirements for the Avia-
ton were two years in college Or Its
equivalent. 2l,OOo physicians have
been called for and only 5000 have
responded. Every chemist of note is
working on war problems.
High school graduates are not rum
ming away from the war when they
go to college; they are moving tow
ards 1t in q most effective way. Sue
cess or failure In this conflict will ul-
timately depend upon our supply Of
trained men. The cali of American
colleges is call to service.
