P. P. CLAYTON
Gives Patriotic Advice To Teachers

To the Teachers and People Of the
United States:
There are before us as a people
now just two tasks Of supreme i'm
portance: To win the war for free
dom and democracy, and to prepare
ourselves and our children for life
in the new world which the war is
bringing in. Both these tasks must
be performed with singleness of pur-
pose and whole-hearted devotion to
the public welfare; and no sacrifice,
t5wever great, must be allowed to
stand in the way of either.
The first great task is to be ac-
complished by the hundreds of thous-
ands Of men in the army and navy,
across the seas and on the seas, as
sisted by the millions Of men and
women who produce munitions of
war, ships for transportation and
food, and the scores of millions who
give or loan money to pay the costs.
The second of these great tasks is to
be accomplished by the great army Of
hundreds of thousands of teachers. jim
our schools, assisted by school Of
ficers, parents and people who pay
taxes for the support of the schools.
The fight against militaristic auto
cracy and the fight against illiteracy,
ignorance and incompetence are both
for freedom and democracy, which
are impossible in any high degree
till both battles are won. As the SOL
der and the sailor are expected to
do their full duty unflinchingly, what
ever may be the cost, so the teacher
and the school officer are expected
to remain at their posts and do their
duty fully and unhesitatingly in the
face of all temptations, unless called
definitely by their country for other
service.
As the people are paying the cost
of the war without question except
as to how much is needed to assure
victory, so should they pay the cost
of the schools without question ex-
cept as to how much is needed to as
sure the fullest measure of prepare
ton for life, industry, efficiency and
good citizenship in the new world Of
freedom and democracy for which
we are fighting.
Let US all work, each in his own
sphere and at his own task, with pa
triotic devotion and no thought of
selfish or personal interest. Let US
all. teachers, parents and taxpayers
work together to the end that no
boy or girl may be without full op-
portunity for that kind and degree of
education necessary for industrial
and political efficiency and for in
telligent joyous living"
Yours sincerely,
r. p. CLAYTON.
Commissioner of Education.

BRUTAL, BRUTAL GERMANY!

THE murderous Germans are every

men and women; sending 12-year old
Belgian lads into slavery and devoting
Belgian girls to a worse fate; robbing
and killing the poor Russian peasants
whom with usual Germanic treachery
they persuaded to disarm on lying prom
Uses of peace; sinking hospital ships and
bombing hospitals on lane; German Of
fcers experimenting yet another awful
American massacre of men, women and
children by the 'Kultured" Turks;
plotting in every quarter Of the globe
their devilish deed,-infecting horses
with the CHAMBERS in far away Argen-
tina; and poisoning 500 horses in Ken
lucky; putting glass in foodstuffs and
spreading wheat blight, and causing
fires and explosions in our land-this is
partial list OF Germany's Infamous acts
that are IF such be posslble) adding to
her unheard of crimes of every sort
against all nations aye, against civilza-
ton itself.
But Germany's treachery quite equals
her barbarity. After cruelty deceiving
the Russian people with professions of
friendship and peace, she is ruthless'y
despoiIing that land. forcibiy occupying
its territory by the thousands of square
miles, and Selling all foods, grains a, d
cattle leaving the wretched peasants O
starve-just the same inhuman dec S
she did in Belgium, Ser. ia and Poland
Then here in America she is also
trying through her thousands of spies,
to corrupt our foreign born citizens and
in every possible way to thwart the
Nations war plans and to accomplish
by underhand ways the ends she knows
she cannot accomplish in fair, open war
fare.

seriously and apparently little alarm Is
felt here.
Unless further adviccs make It neces-

anarchists In Petrograd were interesting
themselves in the fate OF Bcrkman and
