Board Of Trade Aids
Back io5chooI' Drive

The Washington Board of Trade
today issued q special edition Of its
Bulletin" to emphasize the i'm
portance Of the back to school
campaign for working young people.
The Public Schools Committee of
the Trade Board addressed messages
in the issue to employers, parents
and the boys and girls themselves.
For employers, the committee
pointed to the desirability of having
personnel officers talk with school,
age employees and point out to them
the importance of at least high
school education in later life.
At the same time, it was pointed
out, personnel officers could arrange
part-time schedules to give the
young people an opportunity to
engage in the war effort and to earn
money without sacrificing their edu-
cation.
An article signed Bitter Expert
ence" warns the young people that
men and women who made good
without finishing school usually had
to do a great deal of studying under
serious difficulties to overcome the
handicap Of their lack of education
and, if they could, would advise
the school-age youngsters to 60 back
to school.
