That other boy or me?
After the school is organized as
an auxiliary then each pupil must
earn his individual membership by
some form of service which will help
humanity. AS you all know the Red
Cross stands for Service for Others,
or Unselfish Love.
We want to bring it to each child's
mind that his first and foremost duty
is to make and keep himself strong
and vigorous as possible so that ne
may serve his country well.
With this in mind we are going to
start the Modern Health Crusade
Chores. Perhaps you do not know
Just what ! mean, so l better ex-
plain these chores.
The National tuberculosis Society
realizes that it is indeed important
for us to protect ourselves and 9TH
ers from disease germs by perform
ing certain simple health duties, or
chores. The health chores are out
lined on a piece of paper so that one
can check up at night and see if they
have done all that they should have
if they wish to keep healthy. These
are so simple and yet so very impor-
tant to health and happiness. Fol-
lowing is a fist of some of them. All
of you folks who have children in
school will actually see one of these
forms because each school child
will be given one to take home and
keep to check up on at night.
l. l washed my hands before
each meal.
2. l drank four glasses of water
today.
3. l drank milk, but no tea or
coffee.
A. / slept with my window open.
Now when your child brings one of
these slips home encourage him in
performing these chores and help
him at night to remember to check
up the ones he has done. He needs
your encouragement and assistance.
Help him and you will surely be
fully repaid for your efforts.
The object of these chores is to
get the child in the habit of perform
ing these simple duties which he
should do if he is to keep strong and
healthy and grow into fine manhood,
physically equipped to fight his own
battle in life. AS you all know we
are all bundles of habit. With this
in mind you will see the value OF
these chores, because it is in child
hood that we form most OF our naD-
it's so the child should be helped to
form good habits, which will help and
aid him all through life.
If child will perform 81 of the
assigned chores in one week he will
earn his Junior Red Cross pin which
| am sure each child will want. When
he has earned this pin he will then
have paid his membership dues to the
American Red Cross. This is the Ju-
nior's way of becoming part of the
National Red Cross organization.
If ! have failed to make this sub
ject clear to you and you are inter-
ested in it, will only be too glad
to answer any question that can.

The World of Foreign Books

! introduce to the English speaking
world a master of Russian prose who
ranks with Turgenev and Tolstoy.
Herzen Is q writer of broad human
appeal. AS for these memoirs, some
critics put them above the confess
sions OF Jean-Jacques Rousseau. and
indeed HerZen himself says. in his
preface. that the work : Is not SO
much a book of memories as series
of confessions. around which are
clustered "reminiscences and medita-
tions. Yet 1t Is more than an auto
biography. since ii reflects an impor-
tant period of European history in
the life Of one man. Herzen has
here given us q Who's Who OF the
mid-century revolutions. Ii is at
once a vivid chronicle of events and
gallery of living portraits. which
includes such FI-enchmen as Louis
Blanc. such Italians as Garibaldi, as
well as Hungarians. Poles and Ger
mans Herzen was also in close con-
tact with Carlyle and Lewes.
The work naturally falls into two
parts. the first dealing with HerZen's
life in Russia, the other with lis Eu-
ropean exile. In the first part we
have a series of charming genre

PONTIAC, THE OTTAWA, THE
INDIAN NAPOLEON

1T WAS not new dream-thiS plan
L Of uniting all the tribes to drive
out the white man. Opechancanough,
the Pamunkey, and King Philip, the
Wampanoag, had dreamed it and paid
the penalty with their lives. Little
Turtle, the Miami, and Tecumseh, the
Shawnee, were destined to attempt 1t
and to fail. OF them all, Pontiac, the
Ottawa. came nearest success-and he
failed when woman talked!
Pontiac hated the English. But he
,"ved the French and when they lost
North America at Quebec In 1855, he
wanted to keep on fighting On May
Z. 1863. one smashing blow by the al.
lied Indians was to regain this ter.
rltory for the French and their red
friends.
The blow fell and the Indians were
SO successful in their surprise attacks
that eight Of the British forts were
captured and nearly all the garrisons
massacred. Pontiac was in personal
command Of the Indians around De-
troit, the keystone to British rule In
the West. He planned to capture 1t BY
treachery.
Near the fort lived an Ojibway cir
called Catherine. She loved Maio,
Gladwyn, the commandant, and be-
trayed Pontiac's plot in time to save
the fort. Foiled in his attempt {, take
Detroit, the Ottawa saw his grsnd
conspiracy crumbling. 1t was deaf ,

The superior yields Of the Kanred va
