The following on the Red Cross
Magazine from President Wilson is a
timely suggestion to members of
school boards: "Some months ago
had occasion to send message to
school officers urging then, 10 in-
crease materially the time and atten-
ton devoted to instruction bearing d.
rectly on the problems of community
and national life. called attention
to the fact that this was not plea
for a temporary enlargement of the
school program appropriate nearly to
the period of war, but plea for the
realization in public education of the
new emphasis which the war has Civ
en- to the ideals of democracy and to
the broader conceptions of national
life. The American Red Cross de-
votes itself to the extension of our
ideals and the spirit of humanity. No
where can its use be exerted to better
advantage than in the schools, and I
have already approved the wide
spread plan which brings young peo-
pie into junior membership. I am
told that articles from the Red Cross
Magazine, which in spirit explain and
extend these interests, are being used
as reading lessons in thousands Of
schools, and that the coming numbers
Of the magazine will contain articles
especially designed for this patriotic
purpose. This plan is excellent and
look forward to willing coopera-
ton among the school officers to carry
out the idea to the fullest extent"
