Correspondence between individual
schools has been suggested as an in
teresting and educational undertak king
for the school auxiliaries of. the Red
Cross. The general idea is for schools
Of the same type in widely separated
states to exchange ideas and ex-
periences gained in their work for the
this exchange will be effected through
letters. written by the children 4of the
two schools. as exercises in AEnglish
composition. and transmitted through
their principals. Thus the children

tor believes that many schools would
beg lad to engage in such CORE.
%spondence, if given the opportunity.

jurisdiction that wish correspondents
They will give the following informa.
ton concerning each school: Is II
public, private or parochial? Is II
city or rural? What is it's size? From
what state does it wish a CORE
%spondent?
After the division has compiled thi.
information the lists will be for.
spondent will be assigned to each
school.
Chairmen of school committees are
reminded that the school veal is NOR
than half over, and il the plan is to be
successful this year they should pre-.
pare their lists at once and send them
to division headquarters.
