School children will act as vote So
licitors or stamp statesmen, and War
Savings officials, under whose auspices
the election will be carried out, are
hopeful that parents will respond in
the sum of several million dollars.
For the first time in the history Of
any state the schools of Ohio for the
period of nearly month are to hold
the center of interest in the War Saw
ings campaigns Heretofore school
children have taken part in special
drives and contests arranged as side
line features of Il statewide campaign,
but this time the school childrens
campaign is to be the main event of
q statewide drive to put Ohio within
reach of it's 1919 War Savings quota.
Have Wonderful Record.
Ohio school children have won this
honor through their wonderful work
during the past two years as stamp
statesmen. Having sold nearly 81 ,000,-
900 worth of War Savings Stamps in
that time, they have made themselves
a factor to be reckoned with in the
nations financial organization. Wash
ington officials of the treasury depart
ment will watch the school campaign
in Ohio during the next few weeks
with interest, and on its outcome
may depend a number of changes in
the plans Of the government for the
future sale of War Savings Stamps.
Governor James M. Cox, State Saw
ings Director H. P. Wolfe and State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
H. P. Pearson are especially desirous
that school officials, superintendent,
principals and teachers assume lead
ership of the campaign in their re-
spective communities, so that Ohio in
one supreme effort may add materially
to it's War Savings sales and maintain
its lead over every other state in the
nation.
Use Real Ballots.
One million ballots, closely resem-
bling the ballots used in state cleo
tions, have been printed and are being
sent out to every school room in the
state. Active campaigning will begin
Oct 27 and continue through until
Nov. %. Prizes will be awarded
schools in each community enrolling
