CONNECTICUT WOMEN AND
THE WAR

In the opinion Of Miss Caroline
Huutz-Rees, chairman Of the commit
tee on womal,'s activities Of the
Connecticut Council of Defense, the
most important activity Of women in
war time is the care and protection
of the Nations children.
''All the belligerents," says Miss
Ruthless, are now faced with
the problem of repopulation. The
nation that takes the lead in the fu-
ture will be the one with the most
vigorous generation growing up to
take the place Of the present one,
broken and ravished by war We as
well as other nations will have our
problems, for our coming generation
must be numerically sufficient, must
be physically as able as we can
make it, must be educated and train
ed. In this patriotic work women
must help.
"They must guide public opinion
and see that chool-attendance laws
are everywhere obeyed and that
child-labor laws are nowhere evaded.
They must help maintain good con-
ditions in institutions for children
They must press for and support any
agencies in their communities that
work for the so doing, each woman
should feel that she is serving her
country in a direct manner, is help
ing to win the war. and is playing
the part Of true patriot"
