BECAUSE OF NUMEROUS CepoR- TuNlTIGS A GREAT MANY
 HAVE QUIT SCHOOL.
SCHOOLS SHOULD BE FULL
National Government Sees Possibility Within Next Few Years of Real National Crisis in Shortage oT
 Technically Trained Workers.
EaYcttCKille.-


 The United States Bureau Of Edu- cation is asking educational institu- tions, teachers and school officers Ill all parts of the country to assist in a nationwide campaign for keeping the schools Of all grades and kinds u2 to their full measure of etliciency, and to prevent, as far as may be pos sible, any falling off in attendance.
 Attention is called to the fact that within the last year. on account Of the numerous opportunities open to boys and girls 10 make money, d great many of them have dropped ont of school. The national government sees in this the possibility, within tEe next few yeaR, of real national crisis in the shortage of technically women.
 Within the past two weeks the U2i- yersity of Arkansas has received hun dreds of letters from young men who are of proper age and who have had the opportunity to graduate from first class high schools, but who have dropped out of school before graduat- ing. These young men desire to en ter the students army training corps, where they might obtain a college ed ucation with all expenses paid by the United States government. However, the int1exible minimum of four years of standard high school work, or the equivalent, has been set by the gov ernment as an entrance requirement. for the students army training corps, and these young men have lost their opportunity. The attractiveness Of positions which paid them wages CT salaries which at the time seemed large has caused them to lose the greater prize.
 There is need of the assistance Of not only persons connected with tie schools, but of all patriotic citizens, 70 assist in this national campaign to keep the young people in school.
