veloped a social life and community
interest during their six weeks at
tendance that could hardly nave been
brought about so rapidly by infre-
quent meetings.
The effect of the course in good
roads in the moonlight schools has
been seen in several counties by an
awakened interest in road building.
Local effort has followed ana student
volunteers have come out and i'm
proved the roadway An ardent senti-
ment for good roads has always fol-
lowed the good roads course in these
schools. Sunday Schools have been
organized, farmers and housekeepers
clubs and various other organizations
for improvement of the community as
after effects of the moonlight school.

THE CAULDRON SEETHES

Since the cessation Of actual hostil-
tiles Europe has been a seething caul-
dron of unrest. Present conditions in
dictate that it will be months before
order and sanity is restored; before
government is again recognized.
And until this materializes Uncle
Sam must stay on the job.

THE MOONLIGHT SCHOOL

The moonlight school has gone a
long way ahead of the day school in
its curriculum, teaching as 1t does, a
course in good roads, domestic science
patriotism, Agriculture, health and
sanitation, all in brief and practical
form. Even the reading lessons are
based not on trivial things, but on
good roads, good farming, health,
thrift and such subjects. Not even a
copy is lost in writing in the moon
light school. Instead Of writing,
MANY men of many minds, many men
of many kinds" students write such
copy as 81 will work for good roads"
81 will build silo", 81 will spray my
fruit trees" "The man who sells his
vote, sells his honor" In moonlight
schools, other subjects than reading
and writing have always been taught.
Reading and writing occupy the most
important place on the program, it is
true, but practical arithmetic and
other subjects have come in for their
full share.
The moonlight school is not for
those alone who cannot read and
write, but for all persons of limited
education and for all who wish to
spend six weeks in studying for i'm
provement. Many persons have re-
viewed their history and many have
learned to read and write better in
the moonlight schools. Those who
left school early have found 1t their
opportunity to make further advance
ment.
AS a community center, the moon
light school has been a powerful in

each of the next two years. The Chair
man was also informed that the
Boards training schools for officers

THE FIRST SQUARE MEAL
How Red Cross Has Fed italian
Prisoners.

Last spring the Red Cross workers
at Berne were busy arranging to care
for the American soldiers who were
taken prisoners by the Germans, and
now the new exchange agreement
means that Italians from Austria on
their way back to Italy are being
cared for In hundreds. They are pa
theHc lot, these "grand blesses"-the
hopelessly wounded men-but they are
always delighted with the prospect Of
going home, even though II may be
going homo to die. Nearly all Of them
are tubercular.
Tho method employed is this: The
italian Government sends q train into
Austria through Switzerland to gather
up the men released under the ex-
change agreement The train crosses
the Swiss border and at Buchs is met
by delegations from the allied Red
Gross organizations, and under the
present plan the food Is furnished by
the American Red Cross. To many Of
these men this Ii the frst square meal
that they have had for years Cloth
Ing Is also furnished them. Each man
of the 500 which each train carries Is
given cigarettes and small American
flag, and many who have been In
America, some Of whom have taken
out their frst papers, are overjoyed at
the bit Of red, white and blue and most
denonstrative In their delight.
The representatives Of the Red Cross
remain on the train until 1t reaches
Zurich, then return to Switzerland
again. ,..,
II Is the food which America has
sent over which gives to these men
their first meal-food which has been
saved by eating smaller portions, and
by going without

SOME Y. M. c. A. REQUIREMENTS

A million and quarter dollars a
month has been required to carry on
the vast work of the American Y. M.
G. A. in Great Britain, according to
some facts and figures offered as the
result of a survey just completed. The
information has been obtained parti-
cularly with a view of ascertaining
what the needs for the immediate flu
ture are. The report shows that the
Y. M. G. A. program has assumed
greater proportions than ever since
the cessation Of firing.
The Red Triangle army in Great
Britain now numbers about 600 men
secretaries and 400 women workers,
including a number of volunteers.
There is every certainty that these
stacs must be increased. officials OF
the organization report that with the
conclusion of peace at hand there will
be more uniformed Americans on
leave, more with leisure time on their
hands and consequently great deal
more work for the "Y" secretaries to
do.
There is nothing too good for an
American boy in England" is the Y.
NJ. c. A. slogan here. Working on this
assumption, it is planning to extend
its activities in education, athletics,
technical training, religion, and enter
tainment. The s1,250,O00 month 1t is
spending at present has been used to
carry on this program, as well as for
building of huts, renting Of accommo-
cations and administrative expense.
Already there is a great shortage Of
sleeping quarters for officers and men
of both the Army and Navy In South
ampton, liverpool and other cities az
well as In London itself. In the mat
ter Of acquiring sleeping accommo.

Austri is also torn with dissension,

And the Balkans, running true to

over differences both old and new.
Probably out of the peace confer
ence may come decisions that will set

future these varying differences. And
again there may be revolt against
these conclusions.
