| of any real feeling on the part of
petty men who. in normal times,
would never have risen above the
level of their mediocrity"
Armed with the tremendous
power of inner conviction, the cour-
ageous teachers of Norway have
been able to fight successfully the
efforts of the Nazis to implant their
| dangerous doctrines of totalitarian-
ism in the minds of the school
children of Norway" Mrs. Skard
emphasizes. There has been no
compromise with our belief in per-
sonal responsibility for truth and
that which is true and just. What
we thought we had we still have
and there has only been conspicuous
failure to conquer the thinking OF
those who are to be the leaders OF
the next generation in Norway"
Children Aid Struggle.
The children Of Norway, she feels
are playing their part in the great
struggle with courage and perse-
verance because they are accepted
as fellows in the common struggle
against common foe and thus are
part of a great, unconquered ma
tional unity. Now" she said
there are no children and grown
ups any more in Norway. All are
just Norwegians
AS an instance of the strong, ST.
lent resistance which exists among
the school children, Mrs. Skard told
us OF their reaction recently when
a group of Oslo pupils were ordered
to view Hitler Youth Organization
exhibit designed to show them how
attractive Hitlerism could be. A Sc
ries of sudden minor ailments left
not a single pupil in any of the
classrooms on the appointed day.
When the order was repeated with
out previous warning another day,
class after class obediently walked
through the exhibit, but with their
eyes glued to the floor instead of on
the exhibit.
To meet the Skards' twins we
went with their mother to pick
them up at the Phoebe Hearst Public
School during the course of our
interview. Torild and Maalfrid, the
7-year-old girls, are in the second
grade. Chubby Aasmund and Hal
van, the twin boys, now years of
age, attend the Phoebe Hearst
Play Center. They are a joyous,
well-mannered, bilingual quartet,
always happy to be with their
American friends and playmates,
Mrs. Skard is a graduate of the
University of Oslo and was an as
sistant professor in the Graduate
Teachers School at Trondheim. She
does not come as a stranger to the
United States. AS recipient of the
Radcliffe graduate fellowship she
spent a year in graduate study at
Radcliffe College.
This period in her life she refers
to as zone of the happiest and most
useful have been privileged to live.
It's warm human friendships still
continue with me and are helping
to make me useful while we wait for
Norway to be released from its
bondage under Nad occupation"
The bond between Norway and
the United States and the mutual
understanding between the people Of
these two countries, she believes,
always will be close one, because
their fundamental attitude toward
democracy and democratic princi-
piles Is the same.

President, District of

Many Of you have by this time
received through the mail a supply
Of stamps which have been sent out
by the District of Columbia Society
for Crippled Children. This annual
spring seal sale is one deserving of
the thoughtful consideration of every
parent, especially, and of every adult
generally.
There are many crippled children
in our midst, fair proportion of
whom are SO situated that the spe-
cial care needed cannot be provided
by their families. There are many
kinds Of Gripping, needing as many
types of treatment or appliances
But the hopeful note in the picture
| is that almost without exception
these physically handicapped chill
dren may be made self-supporting,
If they can be given the proper
educational facilities, and the neces-
sary medical care.
Educational privileges have been
extended by the Board Of Education
so that a number of these children,
unable to attend regular school, are
being taught in their own homes,
and are making satisfactory prog
ress In their studies. But in an
effort to supply needed medical at
tention, and period of healthful
recreation, the District Of Columbia
Society is endeavoring to stimulate
interest In the sale of these Easter
stamps, so that sufficient money will
be realized to provide funds for
sending the crippled children, not
able to pay for it, to the summer
camp, maintained at Reading, Pa.
Here special equipment, special
medical attention, and specially
trained counselors are available
and the children fortunate enough
to spend part Of the summer there
profit immeasurably from the ex-
perience.
The Easter seal sale opened on
March 8 and will continue through
Easter Sunday. Some zoo, 900 let
ters have been mailed, each con-
tanning 100 Of the attractive little
stamps, and recipients are urged to
pay anywhere from l cent to l
dollar for each stamp. The cost of
camp care at Green Top, in Read
ing, is $110 for eight weeks.
In addition to the camp project,
the District Of Columbia Society
maintains consultation clinic for
cerebral palsied children at the So
ciety's headquarters, 1920 New
Hampshire avenue NV, under the
personal direction of DR.. Winthrop
M. Phelps, director OF the Chill
dren's Rehabilitation Service, at
Baltimore; an orthopedic nursing
consultation service by Miss Mary
F.. Billmeyer, instructor in ortho-
pedic nursing, Catholic University:
special transportation of crippled
children to hospitals and clinics:
disqualification, and furnishing ap-
pliances for the handicapped.
A generous response to the So
cietys appeal should be made by
Washingtonians, whose reputation
for sympathetic support Of such
projects Is Nationwide.
