Wilson For Wartime Schools

President Wilson urges generous
support for schools of all grades dur
ING war time. In letter to Secretary
Lane approving the Bureau of Educa-
TONS plan for an educational cam
paign this sumner and fall he says:
81 am pleased to know that despite
the unusual burdens imposed upon our
PEOPLE by the war they have main
tanned their schools and other agen-
cles of education SO nearly at their
normal efficiency. That this should be
continued throughout the war and
that, in so far as the draft law will
permit, there should be no falling off
in attendance in elementary schools,
high schools or colleges is matter OF
the very greatest Importance, affect
ing both our strength in war and our
national welfare and efficiency when
the war is over. So long as the war
continues there will be constant need
Of very large numbers OF imen and
women of the highess and most thor
ough training for war service i'm many
lines. After the war there will be
urgent need not only for trained lead
ership in all lines of industrial, COM
mercial, social and civic life, but for
very high average of intelligence
and preparation on the part of all the
people. I would, therefore, urge that
the people continue to give generous
support to their schools of all grades
and that the schools adjust, themselves
as wisely as possible. to the new con-
ditions to the end that no boy or girl
shall have less opportunity for educa-
ton because of the war and that the
