RED CROSS HOME SERVICE

tsTo whom does home service apply
Home service applies to the families
of. men in all branches of the SER
vIce-to those in the regular army,
ton corps, engineers, and to the fam
lies of men and women attached to
hospital units as nurses, doctors, or
derlies, or ambulance drivers
1.-The field is a vast one and home
service responsibility will be CORES
pondingly great In realizing this re-
sponsibi1ty, it is necessary also to re-
alize the proper limitations of the
work. The Red Cross has no desire
to shirk and no desire to intrude. AS
already said, many families will not
need home service and our volunteer
workers will go to none without
definite introduction
when does a family properly come
under the care of home service sta
tion7 This question cannot be an
swered finally and in word, for there
will be border-1ine instances that will
require careful consideration with a
view to discovering the rights and
duties of other agencies, and those of
individuals already interested in a
family. Home service applies, how
ever, to the families of men in all
branches of the service
Repeatedly, it should be emphas-
lied that no home should be entered
in the name of Home Service without
a definite invitation from the family
or from some responsible person com
petent to speak for them"

tracts from the Manual of Home

The death of Colonel Roosevelt
last week has brought out lot of
Roosevelt copy, by way. of remin-
iscences, and 50, perhaps it will not
be amiss if we indulge a little along
that line in this column Many read
ers will no doubt recall the fact that
President Roosevelt made "a rear
platform speech in Wa-Keeney on
Saturday evening, May 1908, to
crowd which was variously estimat-
ed at from 400 to 1000 people The
president travelled on his own special
train and was accompanied by Sen
ators Burton and Long and number
of reporters and others. The dicta-
grammer heard that speech and af-
erwards wrote report of it for the
WORLD from memory The report
was so nearly verbatim that many
who heard the speech and later read
it in the World supposed it to be the
work of a stenographer. The pres
ident was introduced by Senator Bur
ton and spoke as follows:
Fellow Citizens: I am glad to meet
you. For the last day and half I
have been travelling across your
state from east to west and now I
am away. out in the shortgrass
country. I feel at home hereI have
been out. on the plains before. AS
travel across your beautiful state to-
day note many improvements. You
| have made great changes. For one
thing, you are raising alfalfa and
alfalfa alone is often the measure of
| the difference of success and failure.
You have succeeded because you de-
served success. You have worked for
| it and I notice that the things that
can be had without work are hardly
worth having. There is nothing lying
around loose, ready to be picked up
| Oh yes, there is one thing=advice!
| Not only have you made great i'm
provement in your crops but you
have been improving your stock, your
| horses and cattle. When I was riding
the ranges there was not much to a
steer except the horns, the hide and
the tail. But you have not only
changed their size and proportions
you have changed their natures. ]
am sure there must be some old
range riders here, are there not :?
| Well, you will remember that when
| you rode out the range and cried
out Hike o-o-o-Ht' every steer on
| the ranch would turn tail and run
away from you. It is not so now. But
great has been your progress and
material improvements in the last

NO MORE BI EAONTHLY EXAM

Topeka, Kans., January z, 1919.
To County superintendent:
Owing to the different conditions
that have prevailed and because of
the varying. lengths of time that
schools have been closed throughout
the state account of the influenza
epidemic, it seems impossible to pre-
pare for general use bi-month1y e9s-
animation questions which would be
universally applicable and satisfac-
tory.
This being the case rural school
promotions and county diplomas
should in my opinion this year be al
lowed to depend upon class grades,
on local tests and examinations, and
on the diploma examination. There
fore, unless my successor should
deem it wise to change the arrange
ment, this plan may be regarded as
the one to be followed, and no fur
Their state bi-nonthIy examination
questions need be expected this year
Cordially yours,
w. D. Ross,
