The Henry County Weekly VOL. XLIV. The Country’s Appeal to Schools and Pupils. The most terrible conflict in the history of the world is now raging. Duty demands that every true American shall enlist in the strug gle. The call, though, is no stronger for brave soldiers at the camp and trenches than for will ing workers on the farm, in the factory, the counting house and school room. The highest type of patriotism is manifested in the willingness to serve wherever effort will connt for most. The problem of the student and the school is to deter mine the particular field of action in which each can be most helpful. Many are now torn with indecision and are earnestly asking “What can 1 do? Where can I fit in?” Counsel from those in position to best know the country’s needs should be welcomed. The gov ernment at Washington has re cently sent its official message to schools and pupils through its bul letin entitled “Government Poli cies Involving School in War Times.” This communication was prepared jointly by the Depart ments of War, Navy, Agriculture, Labor, Civil Service, Interior and Education. The extracts below' make plain what the responsible heads of the government regard as the duty of the schools and the most valuable service which can 6 .

If it is not practicable to change at once to this program, a much needed ser vice can be rendered by organiz ing night and summer classes to train stenographers, typewriters, clerks and secretaries. “Many civil service positions have been filled bv drawing work ers from commercial and industri al houses and teachers from the school room. All the positions made vacant must be filled from some source.” “Boys and girls should be urg ed, as a patriotic duty, to remain in school to the completion of their high school courses, and in in creaing numbers to enter upon college and university courses.” In a previous communication the United States Bureau of Educa tion reminded the patriotic youth of the country that “the desire to render immediate service is praise worthy, but it is effective service LIABILITIES. v Capital stock paid in $30,000.00 Surplus fund - 15,000.00 Undivided Profits, 4,9/9 81 Less Current Expenses Interest and Taxes paid - 1,563 84 3,415 97 Circulating notes outstanding 30.000.00 Individual deposits subject to check - - 52,343.54 Certificates of deposit due in less than 30 days - - 110.00 Cashiers’ checks outstand ing .... - 300 Total demand deposits, Items 33, 34 , 35 . 36, 37 . 38, 39, and 40 52,456 54 Time deposits (Payable a: ter 30 days, or subject to 30 days or more notice): Certificates of deposit 14,660.00 Total of time deposits.

It makes known to the soldier not the place where he can be most useful, but permits him to volunteer. The schools are entreated to in crease their facilities, and pupils are begged to malje use of every advantage offered. Locust Grove Institute will at tempt to meet the demands of the times by enlarging its scope of work both during the summer session which begins June 10, and in the regular session beginning in September. During the sum mer session provision is made for both high school and grammar school grades and for special courses in shorthand, typewriting and book - keeping. Beginning with September millitiry training will be offered to boys. President Henry Louis Smith of Washington and Lee University aptly says “in the present chaos of destruction, the trained and highly educated are most needed, quickest to answer the call and the first to fall. Their loss at any time would be a fearful handicap, but to lose our leaders just as we face the stupendous task of recon structing modern civilization is a wor! r ‘ tragedy.” Eo. s and kirls who are now of school age represent almost a monoply of the educated leader ship tor the future. If they wish to do something hard ; if they de sire to serve where their efforts will count for most; if they would exhibit the highest type of patri otism; they will continue in school every day it is possible for them to go and they will apply them selves with a zeal.and earnestness that they have never known be fore. What answer will the school boys and school girls of Henry county give to their country’s call to colors ? ( : OBSERVER : ) “Jewberries” ripe. Oh you red bugs. Join the Red Cross.

Hightower attended the school exercises at Stock bridge Sunday. Oh, What’s the matter, Uncle Jeremiah ? the merchants are not that bad. Some old time red • headed woodpeckers have come right up here in the heart of town and are building nests in some telephone posts —moved to town. It was our pleasure to attend the commencement exercises of the school at Stockbridge last Sunday. The commencement ser mon was preached by Rev. Dr. H. C. Morrison of Kentucky, the edi tor ot The Pentecostal Herald, and one of the most prominent ministers in the south. He deliv ered one of the most powerful sermons we ever listened to, and the masterful and prophetic way in which he revealed the hand of God in the present world wide w t ar was, wonderful to listen to.

Our young men are being called to go to the front and are giving all they have to win this war, and surely if they are willing to give their lives, we surely can contribute a small sum to help win. Everybody should rally and help in this great work to help win this war. Prof. Samuel W. Beazley of Chicago, 111., one of the most noted song writers and music leaders in the United States, and Prof. Homer F. Morris of Atlanta filled an en gagement at Bethany church last Monday night in the interest of the Union Song Book Publishing Company of Atlanta. A move ment was made to have Prof. Beazley to teach a Normal School in Henry county this summer, and Bethany church has been offered the opportunity to secure the school. Instead of going by the way of Hampton and Chinn’s Crossing to reach Atlanta, all travel and traffic has been turned up the Atlanta road leading to Stockbridge, which has been made equally as good as the Dixie Highway leading by Jonesboro. Good roads are to be seen leading across Henry county % f $ in all onfyVa matter of time wheti bur county will be in thf good roads column. Henry county is the best place in the Wi rid anyhow.
