TRUE CITIZENSHIP

Much ms we dislike to admit It, there
still exists a distinct apathy toward
the war on the part of great many
people in various parts Of the country.
The reason for this is even deeper than
constitutional paclflsm or pro-Ger.
manism based upon explainable blood
or mental association. The fact Is,
although We did not realize 1t until
recently, the average citizen Of this
country has not had instilled in him
real responsibility in and to his gov
eminent. The extreme development Of
the democratic idea in America and
the ultra-politicnl nature of our form
of government has resulted in the al
most total disappearance Of the appre-
citation by the individual Of what the
government means to him.
The changing Of this condition is
possibly the most serious problem fac
ing the United States today, outside
of winning the war. 1t involves COM
plete REIMBURSEMENT and revitalizing Of
our methods Of civic instruction. This
work must start in the schools of the
lowest grade Many men who have
had the advantage Of collegiate in
struction in political economy. and
even the influence Of the discussion Of
these matters In high school debating
societies. appreciate the problem. It
must be remembered, however, that
by far the greater majority of boys
who later make up the citizenry Of the
nation leave school after passing
through only the most elementary
grades.
The National Security League. Or
ganiZed Mt the start of the war as a
preparedness proganda and now devot-
Ing Its entire efforts to the awakening
of the people to realization Of the
meanings of the war and the menace
Of defeat, has undertaken nation
wide campaign on this question of true
citizenship which Is worthy Of atten-
ton and support. 1t has enlisted the
cooperation of state, county and city
superintendent of schools in all parts
Of the country to make daily instruc-
ton on the war part of actual school
| tuition. The league has also obtained
the release to 1t on full pay by the
| Boards Of Trustees Of number Of the
largest colleges and universities in the
country Of corps OF professors who
are to constitute "National PATRIOTIC
Education Faculty" to carry on this
work in the broader field. These men
! will create sort of peripatetic uni
I versity, journeying personally into all
parts of the country to spread this
thought of the necessity of awakening
the citizenship Of the country to re-
sponsibiiity in itss government. More
power to the National Security League
and may the nation quickly realize the
Importance Of its work!

generals office, army medical corps,
today is working for the first time as
a unit in its new building. at Seventh

which also set several speed records.
1t Is the first building of the kind
ever built here by the Government. II
was started March II and finished
May 1, just thirty-riine working days,
out OF which several were stormy and
unsuitable for work.
Major Gooth started moving the
big force last Saturday and the job
was completed yesterdRy-five days.
When the building was completed Il
was found that the buzzer system for
calls had not been installed. The con-
tractors said It would be a work OF at
least two weeks. Unwilling to brook
this delay, Major Gooth enlisted the
services of a company of army en-
gineers, with the result that the
buzzers were installed in two days.

CHILD WELFARE WORK

Next to the duty OF doing every
thing possible for the soldiers at the
front, there could be, it seems to me,
no more patriotic duty than that of
protecting the children, who consti-
tute one-third Of our population.
With these words OF President VIII
son as inspiration, the committee in
charge OF the save-the-babies work in
Washington is today putting re-
doubled energy into its campaign.
Several cases have also been reported
where children in need OF immediate
medical care have been saved from
probable death as the result of the
examination.
A bureau OF child welfare in this
city is to be established, according to
a report OF Mrs. Louis Brownlow, of
the committee on legislation.
Motion picture theaters will aid in
the campaign, when cOlored slides
boosting the drive will be shown, and
four-minute speakers explain the OBJ
jects OF the work.

Monday afternoon and providing
enough of the company can be gotten
together at 7 o'clock at the armory

BIG WIS. S.
BARRAGE
A WINNER


Womens committees for the swell
ing of the w. S. S. fund in Grady
county struck Chickasha by storm
this morning and pushed the drive
until late this afternoon in the down
town districts. Canvassing agents
for the big drive opened fire in the
residence portions early today and
are rushing work to complete the
door-todoor campaign before the day
IL over
Mrs. John e. White, chairman of
the women's w. S. S. drive, assisted
by the other committee leaders, had
systematic procedure for putting
the thing over the top with shove
and from indications there has been
nothing overlooked in planning the
attack. The city was mapped in sec
ticns and each group of workers has
particular territory to cover. Re
lief parties were sent out at noon to
day to freshen the fire and clean VI
the patches left by workers who LED
the charge this morning.
Down town employees and shoppers
underwent the barrage until babl
bond buying carried the day. Pro
ceeds of the days campaign coul'
not be estimated by those in charg
