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

“The w’ar should in no w T ay be
used as an excuse for giving any
less education, but, on the contra
ry, schools should do everything
possible to increase their effici
ency.”
“Both the present demands of
the war emergency and the pros
pective demands of the readjust
ments to follow emphasize the
need of providing in full measure
for the education of all the people.”
It is believed that the present
emergency is an opportune time
for readjusting the schools on an
all-year round basis. 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

The government the
soldier in uniform to report and
serve where it finds his service
needed most. 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
