SHEATS ENDORSES JUNIOR RED
CROSS WORK IN SCHOOLS.

The following communication from
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, w. n. Sheats heartily endorsing
the work of the junior American Red
Cross workers is received in Pensacola,
where the Junior Red Cross workers
have been active and accomplished
splendid work in the schools. with
much qualification.
Addressing the school officials and
teachers of Florida superintendent
Sheats says:
Permit me to call your attention TO
the Junior Red Cross work and to en-
dorse it to the fullest extend. School
officials certainly need to make no
apology for endorsing and encouraging
the Red Cross work; every teacher
will be doing a patriotic duty by lead
ing and encouraging the pupils to
engage in this service.
The educational value to the pupils
engaging in the Red Cross work viii
be greater than the same time appl 81
in any other way. as the children Will
be learning that they are to serve hn-
manity and prepare themselves for
good citizenship. which is the object
of all true education. 1t is sincerely
hoped that every teacher will feel that
he owes his pupils more than the mere
teaching of textbooks. and will not fail
to give encouragement to this Junior
Red Cross work.
Yours very truly.
