To The School Children OF The
United States.

Two years ago. as President of the
United States and as President of the
American Red Cross, addressed to you a
letter in which advised you to enroll in
the newly organized Junior Red Cross, and
explained to you some of the ways in
which the Junior Red Cross would help
you to be useful to your country and to
the children of those countries which were
associated with US in a great war against
q powerful enemy. Millions of you did
join the Junior Red Cross and worked hard
and what you did is warmly appreciated
by the whole country.
Now, by the blessings Of God and through
the faithful performance of duty by our
soldiers and sailors and the soldiers and
sailors of the countries by whose side we
fought. great victory has been won and
the war is over, but am sure that you
wish to continue to be useful to your coun-
try and to children less fortunate than
yourselves. Therefore, am writing to you
at the opening of the new school year to
advise you again to join the Junior Red
Cross, which has planned a work for peace
times even larger and more systematic
than the work done during the war.
The Junior Red Cross will instruct you
in ideals and habits of service, will show
you how to be useful to your school, how
to aid the older people in your community
in their efforts to promote the health and
comfort Of the people among whom you
live. and how to help children who are
still suffering from the effects of the great
war in foreign lands invaded by the enemy.
The recent war was the greatest of all
wars. not only because more men and
nations were engaged in it than in any
other war Of history. but also because, as
a result of it, people have seen vision of
different kind of world from the world of
the past. world in which nations shall
unite for purposes of peace and good will
as they formerly united only for war against
an armed foe. In working for the children
Of other nations you will come to under
stand them better and they will understand
and appreciate you more.
Your education will not be complete I'M
less you learn how to be good citizens, and
the Junior Red Cross plans to teach you
simple lessons of citizenship through its
organization and its activities. 1t is your
generation which must carry on the work
of our generation at home and abroad and
you cannot begin too soon'to train your
minds and habits for this responsibility.
By doing what you can to make happier
the people of your own neiehborhood, your
State, your country and also the people of
other lands, you will make yourselves
happier

In sad but loving remembrance my
dear aunt. Katy Hamilton, who departed
this life September 7th. 1919.
At the bedside of our loved one.
Night by night and day by day,
We watched the loving hand grow thinner.
Saw her slowly fade away
We tried so hard to keep her with us,
But God willed that she should 60.
So, we yield to the parting,
Though it filed our hearts with woe.
My heart still aches for you, dear aunt. g.
Your loss will ever feel.
You bore your suffering with smiling cheer
Left wound that will never heal.
You are not forgotten, dear aunt,
Nor will you ever be,
For as long as life and memory last
We will always think of thee.
By her loving niece,
