Citizenship Schools.
Another interesting branch of our
work Is the great university extension
Of citizenship. Schools are being held
throughout the state under our Educa-
tIonal Committee.
Another line of work Is that of our
hcials of all political parties and all
men In every township and county In
the state who have run or are to run
for office. 1t is believed this commit
tee will become extremely intelligent
rs time goes on, and It's intelligence
will react on the civic welfare of the
state most tellingly
Our Amer! raniZation Committee has
Issued some very effective and cducn-
tOnal literature and Is organizing In
every center and community where
there are foreign groups

We realize that great part of a ma

the last analysis that nation which
keeps most nearly steady and normal
In Its industrial and domestic life will
maintain that morale which will win
the war for 1t.
The work of the Rural Problems
Committee perhaps Is of particular in
terest in this publication which Is be-
ing sent out by the National Security
League. Very few people In the coun-
try have stopped to realize how in our
body polite the rural committees are
Disseminated against In the matter of
socializing forces. Our great cities
have their amusements. their munich
pal halls and baths. their community
kitchens, their public libraries and lee
ture courses and innumerable settle
ments and clubs where people are
drawn together and stimulated men,
tally and spiritually. We feel that
some of these advantages should be
brought TO the country districts.

 If anyone feeling the oppressiveness of the atmosphere. attempts to open a window, the black looks he gets from his neighbors lead him to desist.
 Employers in localities where grip prevails find the disease is big handicap to their production. If this thing goes much farther, 1t will hold up the war work. People who have charge of workshops will do well to see that they are well supplied with fresh air.

The nearly simultaneous appearance in many army and navy camps has started speculation as to the possi- bility of the introduction of germs by our enemies, a suggestion that the secret service is no doubt considering.
 These are times when entrance to army. camps should be more strictly guarded, and the closest scrutiny should be given to the movements Of all persons giving suspicion of dfsloy- alty and malice.
 Out door air and sunlight help avert this or any other disease. In tightly closed workshops, stores, and railroad trains. 1t is no wonder that people be- come so enfeebled by bad air and that the germs become so contagious. It is common sight to see hundreds Of persons attending a meeting in noom
