4TH RED CROSS ROLL CALL
EVERY SCHOOL TEACHER SHOULD HAVE
EACH PUPIL ENROLLED.

ed to her Red Cross letter and en-
rolled her school room? If not, do
it today and make the schools of Del
aware 100 per cent Red Cross during
this school week.
Efforts to enroll the 10000 school
children of Delaware as Junior mem
bers of Delaware Chapter of the AM
erican Red Cross are proceeding more
successfully during the present 4th
roll call than any other campaign
that has ever been waged in this state
for Junior members. This is due large
ly to the fact that while in the past,
the dues for Juniors has been 25 cents
per child, whereas in this campaign,
there are no individual memberships,
but in place of them, forty-five cents
per school room, whether there be 10
or so children. Each child contributes
penny or two and all money above
the As cents per room is kept by the
teacher, and held in use in case of
emergency, the teacher reporting,
however, the excess money contribut-
ed.
The As cents pays the expense of
the Junior Red Cross News. which
each teacher receives once each
month for her pupils, and which con-
tains the latest news of Red Cross
activities. In addition to this, each
room is given its certificate signed
by Judge George Gray and Henry NJ.
Candy, president and treasurer of
Delaware Chapter. This handsome
certificate is to be framed and hung
upon the wall as next year only a
H. ~
there is the roll of honor which each
child is to sign and this too is to be
framed and hung. Last but not least
the Junior buttons bearing the words
Il Serve" which each child receives.
These are rewards for the rooms that
enroll 100 per cent upon payment of
the As cents.
In Wilmington the public, private
and parochial schools are rapidly en-
rolling 100 per cent strong as we'll
as many down State schools. In the
first three days of the campaign the
following down state schools came
forward 100 per cent strong: Taylors
