Il am pleased to know that despite
the unusual burdens imposed upon our
people by the war they have main
tanned their schools and other agencies

efficiency. That this should be con-
tlnued throughout the war and that. in
so far as the draft law will permit.
there should be no falling off in attend
ance IN elementary schools, high
schools or colleges is a matter of the
very greatest Importance, affecting
poth our strength III war and our ma
tional welfare and efficiency when the
war is over
SO long as the war continues there
Will be constant need of very large
Eumoers of men and women of the
hlghest and most thorough training for
war service in many lines After the
war there will be urgent need not only
ior trained leadership in all lines of
I,ncustrlal, commercial, social and civic
NE, but for very high average of
intelligence and preparation on the
part of all the people,
i would therefore urge that the peo-
ple continue to give generous support
to their schools of all grades and that
the schools adjust themselves as wisely
as possible to the new conditions to
the end that no boy or girl shall have
less opportunity for education because
OF the war and that the nation may be
strengthened as it can only be through
the right education of all its people
II approve most heartily your plans
for making through the Bureau of Edu-
cation comprehensive campaign for
the support of tie schools and for the
maintenance of attendance upon them,

wanted rough war and that the Amer
leans are giving it to them. He said
the mouths OF all pacifsts should be
smut, because Germany must be put
IN the dust before there is any talk
of peace. He also declared that the
British navy for four years has far
nished the United States protection
from Germany, and that there should
be no boast of Americans winning the
war
There must be no talk like that" he
said. because we bore the brunt Of the
fighting at first, and it is merely rub
hlng salt into our wounds to saw the
United States alone is winning The
war.
We're all going to stand together
until AlsaceLorraine has been re
turned to France; until Rumania is in
her right place; Serbia has been re
established and rehabilitated; Belgium
has been put back into greater place
than she ever held before, and Russia
has been restored. Don't be too pessi-
mistic about Russia. She has come
back before and will again"

Issues Appeal for
Married Teachers
DR.. P. P. Claxton Urges All
Local School Boards to
Emplov Them

An appeal to local school boards
throughout the United States to repeal
regulations prohibiting married women
from teaching in the public schools
was sent out from Washington by DR..
2. P. Claxton yesterday.
"Repeal the married regulation" said
DR.. Claxton. "It never did have much
to recommend it and the war has made
it impossible of enforcement. Every
woman who is a good teacher is needed
and marriage is no bar. AS means
cf relief | recommend that married
teachers be called again into active
service and that laws, ordinances or
regulations prohibiting their services
be suspended or repealed"
Many teachers lately have protested
to the Department of Education at the
discrepancy between the law that takes
their husbands in the draft and the
regulation that refuses to allow them
to earn their living in the only pro-
fession in which they are trained.

The I ribune
resh Air Fund

Inns week The Tribune Fresh Air
Fund is directing its efforts toward the
safeguarding of 335 boys and girls who
lace danger every day of their lives
very real, very terrible danger.
They are children who live in homes
"here some members of the family have
been STRICKEN with tuberculosis. Every
day they run the risk of infection.
Inc only way to save these children
from the fate which faces them is by
constantly keeping them in such a
state of health and strength that their
bodies Will throw off the attacks Of the
plague germs.
Inc Tribune Fund aims to do what it
can to add to the resisting power of
the children by giving them vacations
IN the country. Working through the
tuberculosis clinics which are scattered
throughout the city, the Fund has Sc
lected 250 boys and eighty-fve girls
Tor TINS sort of preventive treatment.
The girls are already in the country,
having been sent on Tuesday to the
fund's DevereuX Home at Deposit. N.
I. Inc boys are to be sent away Sat
urday to the Shepherd Knapp Farm, at
Ltchheld, Conn.
These homes have been selected from
all those maintained in connection with
the FUNDS work, because they are To-
Gated IN regions which have been ad-
judged most suitable for this type Of
child. They are both some distance
inland and situated at a siderable
elevation above sea level.
The Tribune Fund does not attempt
to deal with children actually afflicted
With tuberculosis. 1t is not organized
nor equipped for that. On the con-
trary, no child will be accepted for one
OF these outings until he has been sub
Jected to a careful examination to de-
termlne that he has no positive symp-
toms of tuberculosis.
This part of the Funds work has
been planned and arranged with the
help and advice of experts in preven-
tive work. In order to meet the specic
needs of the children the usual pro-
gramme at the homes where they are
to be entertained will be modified so
as to provide for more rest and quiet
and larger percentage of certain
types of food. 1t is hoped to bring the
335 boys and girls back to the city
showing, at the least. an average gain
OF three pounds in weight.
Authorities who are in touch with
this type of children declare that there
is nothing that includes greater pos
sibilities of good for these children
than fresh air outings in such regions
as those selected by The Tribune Fund
for this work.
To-day the Fund is sending several
parties of normal children away to
begin vacations in Central New York
and in Connecticut. About ninety chill
dren are to be placed at Sherburne,
Greene, Norwich, Brisbin and Bath, N.
Y. Thirty-tive others are to go to
places which appear among the list Of
fresh air entertainers for the first time
this year. They are Old Lyme, Essex
and Deep River, Conn.
