lives to serve Uncle Sam in the pres
ent crisis through o resolution unan'
imously adopted yesterday Afternoon
at a meeting Of the Board Of Educa'
ton. Though the suggestion Of tho
board may hit the pardonable vanity
OF the forthcoming grads. and es'
tablish q precedent for the remainder
of the war, there is little doubt that
it will be adopted by high school
girls at the June commandments
Here's the resolution:
The Board of Education calls the
attention Of graduates Of the various
high schools to the unusual oppor-
tunity for patriotic service in the
matter of cutting down graduation
expenses. We cordially recommend
that one simple and inexpensive dress
be made to serve for both graduation
and class day exercises. Teachers are
asked to encourage this sentiment
and the suggestion. is offered to par
ents that they stimulate their daugh'
ters to this practical patriotism by
investing the amount so saved ir
liberty bonds or war savings stamps.
The resolution was put by Mrs. Cor
allie Cook, colored member OF the
board and chairman of the committee
on libraries.
