 progress made with the relief work
 among the children in its relation to
 the reconstruction of the devastated

 Plans for the future activities of
 the juniors for the next two years
 were tentatively enumerated by the junior director The following are the
 fundamental policies agreed upon:
 1. In view of the widespread and intense suffering among the children abroad, the Junior Red Cross. as a
 national organization will continue for few years at least.
 2. The American Red Cross will be the medium through which the Junior Membership organization in the schools may render valuable services. It, therefore, asks their cooperation; it does not seek any degree of control. It recognizes the importance of con-
 tsnuing it's efforts only for clear-cut I, and distinctive purposes which avoid ! duplication of the efforts of other national departments and organiza- tions affecting the schools.
 3. The school membership plan will continue in the future as in the past, the school, becoming an auxiliary and each pupil a Red Gross member when fund equivalent to- 25 cents per pu- pill has been subscribed.
 f. A certain percentage of the mem bership fee for each school (this has not yet been determined) will be sent to the national headquarters to be used for the foreign relief work. The re- maning part of the fee and any ad 1 ditional money raised, may be used for such community activities as are jconsidered appropriate for Red Cross work
 5. "A part of the money now in the local treasuries throughout the coun try will be sent to national headquar- ters, so that the necessary relief work abroad may be started without delay Dr. Livingston Ferrand. who has re- gently been appointed chairman of the executive committee of the American Red Cross, has gone to Europe to se- | lect these special children's projects and make definite plans for their man. agement.
