Compulsory Courses

What's the answer? That's
plain:
The government should draft
all boys and girls of high school
age.
They need not and should not
90 TO the front. But they should
be compelled TO choose certain
practical, elemental subjects
such as sewing and cooking for
the girls, radio and shop for the
boys.
And these courses should not
only be compulsory for every
high scshool student but they
should be tough enough TO leave
an impression on their plastic
minds and make them realize
that America needs real work.
ers, not phony fronts.
The government has taken one
step toward this in requiring
that all 1s-year-olds register,
but that doesn't mean they will
be drafted for the army or are
fit to be.
Preparation for this war
should begin long before that, in
the home and the high school. in
practical, everyday life and serv-
ice. So where does big business
come in?
Just there, in taking up the
slack where both school and
home fail in giving classes
which will snap these youngsters
out of their thumb-sucking
dreams and make them ready
for their adult status.
Instructors in Stores
Not all stores can do this But
most of our big department
stores can supply instructors in
domestic science, in radio work,
in making planes, in studying
guns.
Let the stores provide the in
struction, the materials at a
minimum price. And let them
be real courses, not phonies-
courses which comply with de-
tense requirements wherever
possible.
How'll you start il? Any good
saleswoman or salesman can tell
you a hundred ways how TO start
the ball rolling.
The main thing is 10 get there
and get there first. Be the first
in your field.
Make your store home as
well as a market, a place which
the youngsters will remember
with gratitude and affection
when they become citizens.
And don't be piggy. If you go in
for domestic science. let the
other fellow train a gunner.
Will the kids come?
Just ask them,
