Big Boom
In School
Building

Public interest in the question OF
prolonging the school life Of the AM
erican child has been stirred up in all
parts of the country through the in
tensive drive towards that end now
being conducted by the Children's
Bureau Department of Labor.
More than half the States have de-
clared their intention to fight vigor-
ously the tooearly withdrawal OF
boys and girls from the public
schools of the land. In many COM
munities unusually large school build
ing schedules have been arranged.
and other measures have been taken
to help the "back-to-the school move
ment and to provide for the comfort
and health of the children while their
education is being completed.
In New York City the largest
school building program ever under
taken by the Board Of Education is
now under consideration. School
buildings are urgently needed in the
metropolis In order to speed uD
construction plan to let a general
contract for such needed buildings to
some big construction firm on basis
of cost plus fixed percentage Of
profit is being discussed by the New
York superintendent of schools, the
city superintendent Of buildings and
representatives of a number of big
construction firms.
The New York education law and
the New York City charter both re.
quire that contracts for construction
of school buildings be awarded to
the lowest bidder No provision ex-
lists for any emergency exceptions.
The city charter, however, permits
the maiving of competitive bids when
the Board of Aldermen approves.
The fact that the builders guarantee
the completion in eight months or
year of school buildings that it now
takes from two to three years to fin.
ish, and that the cost will be more
reasonable, is considered strong ar.
gument in favor of this new rush"
plan of construction. The New York
Board of Education has available for
school buildings more than $4,000.
1000 1t has plans under way for con
struction work that will cost approx
imately 100000.
Further evidence of a nationwide
stimulation of interest in school ques.
tions is seen in recent steps taken by
various communities to emphasize
the Importance of prolonged school
training for our future citizens.
In Washington, D. G., the Board Of
Education, working in cooperation
with the local "Children's Year"
committee, child labor section, has
requested the school authorities to
throw open to this committee all lists
of former pupils with view to ap
preaching every child under 16 years

C. asks: Twill you write about the origin of the Red Cross? We have had the matter up in discussion and find that few of us know and those who think they know are very much divided. Will you set us right?"

manifestation of objection to the prose-

grieve that many of our poor boys
may fall, and God grant that but few
shall fall or be hurt. but we should
think back to our distant ancestors
who fought IN the Revolution to estab.

world not only a new nation, but a
new meaning to the rights Of man. Do
we begrudge the sacrifice of any man
who gave his life in order that that

Who among u men, who among u

that were made during our Civil War
to abolish human slavery and to main.

Why, all hearts throb and our whole
