BOYS SHOULD BE IN SCHOOL

The War Conference called bv the
Y. ,. Government last week in Wash
ington directed the directors of the
various states to bring this message
to the boys and girls and their parents
concerning the serious situation that
faces us in regard to education.
Due to the pressure OF war the at
tendance in many secondary schools
has fallen off in some cases, IS per
cent either because of enlistment or
entrance into industrial or CONNER
cial pursuits.
The Government views this condit-
ion with alarm and it has been found
that in France, the nation, if the war
ends today has been put ten years be-
hind in the education and training OF
its youth. England is already making
plans for six days school and continu-
alton schools for boys in industries
in order that they may make up for
the drain upon education. 1t is a SER
lous loss to a nation to lose its ed
ucated and trained young men. and
it is a great loss to the individual
not to have this education training
which will be more indispensable than
ever it was before the war. Speak
ing for the Government | do urge
wherever it is not incompatible with
the war program that every boy and
girl and their parents consider it a
patriotic duty to receive all the educa-
ton possible.
If the boy is over Is the desire of
the Government is that he shall re-
main in school until his number is
called. Then if he be a graduate OF
high school, to apply to the Uni
versity OF Nevada for entrance into
the students training Camps; or if he
is not graduate OF high school, to
apply to the local draft board for en-
listment, i'll the industrial unit at the
University OF Nevada.
Every boy is asked by the Govern
mtne to put full time in the school
and during vacation time under the
direction OF the Boys Working Re-
serve in some useful work, either on
the ranch or in the industries Any
boy who has not joined the Working
Reserve is asked to enroll at once
with the principal OF his school.
