RED CROSS WORK W(O)RK

Seattle, Mar. 4.-From time to
time the Red Cross publishes pam
phlets describing various kinds of ar
ticles intended for chapter produc-
ton. Experience has shown that
chapters on receiving these PAM
phlets very often start to make all
the articles described. In many cases
there is no call for some of the ar
ticles at the time the pamphlets are
sent out.
Chapters should look upon these
pamphlets as something sent out
merely for their information and
work should not be started on any
of the articles until special allotment
is made by division headquarters.
The strict observance of this rule
not only win prevent an acrumula.
tion or articles which may not be de-
sired at the time, but also win save
division headquarters from calls up,
on Its supply service for materials
when no arrangements have beer
made to get in a stock Of these ma.
terials.

At the noon luncheon Of the

was attended BY members OF that

ers in the public schools included In
the number, Mrs. Alice Bacon acted
a. toastmaster. She called upon Sam

ments and then introduced Prssi-
dent J. II. Alderman. OF the Oregon
Normal school. who addressed b. I'M.
vitation the company, taking for his
subject, The Relation of the Public
Schools to the Present War Crisis."
He said In part that the American
public school system was placed face
to face with, the school aystem Of
Germany. The German ideal ~ out,
lined in their school system was .
militarist one. that OF the American
school system . democratic one. AZ
tier speaking about the work Of the
public schools As evidenced By the
volunteers. by the self control Of
the people through the waitins. dec
laration Of war and the draft and
the many activities by which the
schools had shown themselves 100
per cent eficient, he dwelt at length
upon the future ideals Of public
schools. He said that he believed
the national government would take
over to certain extent the public
schools Of this country in q manner
that was not dreamed OF before the
war; that the government would In:
sist that certain standards be set and
the schools be vigorously brought up
to these standards; that the govern
ment would without doubt appropri-
ate to the several states in the union
certain amount Of money to be dis.
tributed by the state on $3.50
basis, conditioned that no school dis
trict shall receive its quota unless
1t had fully complied with the con-
ditions described by the government.
The speaker said that the Ameri-
can schools would not be Prussian-
lied but that much greater amount
Of Capitalization will be needed in
order that the public schools may be
the melting pot in which the chill
dren OF all nationalities shall be
fused into true, democratic Ameri-
can citizens.
