Training Brings New Visions.
Anyone who has seen the wonderful
physical change wrought in the youth
OF our country by even brief period
In the camps and environments cannot
but covet the same benefit for every
youth in our land. Nor is it physical
gain only; a subtle change in attitude
toward other social groups than his
own, brought about by the democracy
Of the camps, a wholesome regard for
health, both mental and physical, a
respect for authority, habit of obedi-
ence, a new vision Of his responsible
ties as citizen, in short, wholly new
and fine attitude toward life-this is
the gift that his country, through the
service it asks Of him, has given him
in return.
"The government will ask both our
boys and our girls to perform their du-
ties as citizens. Is it not, therefore,
reasonable and just that the govern
ment should take steps to afford them
such training as will make this serv-

o-oooo-oo-oco-oce

Early this year few Chicago wom-
en-, following suggestions made by Mrs.
Joseph T. Bowen, the chairman Of the
woman's committee of the Illinois divi-
sion of the National Council of De-
tense, studied the future of progress in
the United States, and what action, If
any, should be desirable as the result
of changing conditions arising from
the world war.
In her opinion, thought should first
be directed to overcoming striking
as the Americanization problem, the in
crease of juvenile crime, the disregard
of the laws of nature and hygiene and
the lack of understanding between diff
ferent groups of people. .
Women's Clubs Back Plan.
From this beginning developed
resolution, passed by the Chicago Wom-
ans club, providing for federal train
ing of the most comprehensive char
acter for all future young citizens be-
fore permitting them to vote.
At the biennial convention of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
at Hot Springs, Ark, in May, the Chi
cago Woman's club secured unanimous
Endorsement of the movement. This
took the form of a petition to the gov
eminent for universal training of wom-
en- as well as of men.
1t was the formal expression of over
two million American women, organ
lied in about 10000 clubs for personal
and community Improvement through
out the United States.
In matter of such general impor-
lance it seemed desirable to know the
opinion of all other women as reflected
through the national leaders Of organi-
cations of varied activities. Repre-
sentatives Of fifty such organizations
in Illinois formed a committee to in
vite expressions from women Of ma
tional prominence.
Find Women Unanimous.
From the replies 1t is evident no
question ever brought before the Amer
lean people has had the immediate and
general support of thinking women OF
such wide diversity Of interest. The
significance Of this deserves public rec
ignition.
AS the expressions received repre-
sent the approval Of several millions
of women, 1t is clear that America Is
about to turn a new page in its history
one which will mark an epoch in the
development and unification OF our
people, il the plan is given early offi-
cial support.
1.-THE broad purpose of the move
ment," said Mrs. Edwin T. Johnson,

should supersede former assurance and
self-confidence.
'"The physical survey and the Won
derful regenerating capacity Of the
training camps have suggested rapid,
comprehensive and democratic method
as model upon which to prepare a
plan for short courses of federal train
ing for all young people.
'The highest aims for America can
be realized if the nations leaders pre-
pare adequate selective courses of
study, development, discipline and
service, and the federal government
furnishes such courses to all.
II heartily indorse the plan."

heads Of many national organizations.
All, with one or two exceptions, strong
ly support the movement for federal

that only the most vital parts of some
of them can be quoted.
First from suffrage leaders:

founders of the movement for Federal
Training and agree with all points
made by the committee.

pointed out all our weak spots. We are
brave people and strong. There is
nothing which we will regard as inn
possible to do. While it is q tragic
price to pay, the war will leave us bet

needs of our country than before"
BY MISS MARY GARRETT HAY,
Chairman, New York State Woman

II am heartily in favor Of the plan to
give American boys and girls the civic
and military training outlined by the
committee on federal training.
81 am convinced that the proposed
courses to be given in the open coun-
try and in environments win improve
the health and morals of our youth,
will help to make them understand our
American institutions, will rouse their
civic consciousness and inspire them
with devotion to the great ideals for
which our nation stands.

SEED CORN PROPOSITION

Leaders Of agricultural extension
work in the State who were called
into conference at Lexington last
Monday by Dean Cooper have decided
on vigorous and well-organized
campaign to inform the farmers of
the seriousness Of the seed corn
shortage and to help them to secure
enough seed for this years planting.
This, the consensus of opinoin ex-
pressed by the conferees, is necessa-
ry if the State is to be saved from
corn crop shortage.
The various State and local organ.
izations are to be enlisted in State
wide campaign and an effort made to
arouse the farmer to the seriousness
of the situation.
In a proclamation which will be
issued by Gov. Stanley the first ten
days Of March will be set aside as
period in which the farmers Of the
State will be asked to take steps to
test their seed corn. In the procTa-
nation he will ask all the high and
graded schools, the clergy and the
press to render all assistance possible
in helping the farmers overcome the
threatened shortage.
The help of F. M. Sackett, State
Food Administrator, will be sought.
Councils of National Defense will be
enlisted in the work. All the seed
dealers of the State will have the
matter set before them clearly and
they will be asked to render all the
assistance at their disposal in pro-
curing and distributing stocks of
good seed corn.
In counties now without an agent
emergency agents will be appointed
to carry on the work. State and dis
trict agents will make specific plans
for the work in their districts and as
sist the county agents in putting the
plans into practice.
Seed corn testing headquarters
will be established in the county
seats of each county where farmers
may take their corn and have it test
ed and where seed corn will be adj
vertised. The children of high and
graded schools will be enlisted to help
in the work. These tests will deter
mine the fertility of the corn and
will help to find the best seed corn
of each county. The county agents
will hold night meetings in various
parts of each county, and by denom-
STATIONS and talks will endeavor to
encourage as many farmers as pos
siblc to make ear test of their corn.
Red Cross organizations also will be
asked to assist in testing seed corn
on wholesale basis for stipulated
sum for each ear tested. This will not
only raise money for the Red Cross
organizations, but will facilitate the
testing of the corn.
Each county will be requested to
arrange for supplies of seed corn for
local needs and this work can be IA
cilitated, it is thought, through a
committee working Independently or
through cooperation with the local
seedsmen.
J. E. Crider will act as general
of the campaign, E. J. Kin
ney will be in charge of publicity.
