The work OF organization is carried
on In the various counties through
chapter school committees, consisting
of three or more members appointed

appoint branch school committees FOR
the same purpose If requested By their
chapter. When a school becomes an
auxiliary, or g Junior Red Cross, the
school and not the pupil becomes
unit Membership by school carries

struggle, above all, for the child. IN
time of peace the efforts can be turned
to assist in some permanent DETER

disease campaign, or in any worthy
com muntty enterprise. The needs are
always at hand, and II the organization
becomes permanent these needs can at
any time be assisted by the Junior
Red Cross school.
The educational advantages accru-
ing from such organization are readily
seen by educators; and teachers, sup
Ierintendents and others are enthuslas-
tic In the organization work. The
promoters of the enterprise are plan

a permanent basis of organization The
work can then go on, in season ana
out of season, during school year or
in vacation time, and become as per
manent q factor in our national lie
as is now the American Red Cross.
No educational movement in recent
times has arisen which promises more
results in education and in service for
the small amount of time and means
expended. Every community OF pat
runs should assist it's school in going
lover the top" with this enterprise
mo child in our land ought to be de
