some of our boys from trouble.
Think of it men every key of this

once and stop it,

SECURITY LEAGUE
AROUSES PUBLIC
SCHOOLS YSTH
Its Great Campaign of “Patriot
ism Through Education" Being
1 Pushed in All States With
Signal Success.
i
The groat rnmpnlgn of "Patriotism
Through Education,” Inaugurated hov
-1 oral months ago by the National Se
curity League to arouse the people of
the country to a realization of the
true meanings of the war and at the
same time lay the foundations for a
permanent system of patriotic educa
tion In the public schools, has now
been extended Into neurly every state
In the Union. The League is rapidly
completing arrangements, through the
various organized educational agen
cies of the country, by means of which
Its message of militant patriotism will
be carried Into every nook and corner
of the land.
This effort of the National Security
league, which has the Indorsement of
all the leading American educational
authorities and has enlisted the active
co-operation of educators of promi
nence in every part of the country, Is
being promoted under the direction of
a notable committee, headed by Dr.
Robert M. McEiroy of ttie Department
of History and Politics In Princeton
University, who Is serving ns Educa
tional Director of the National Se
curity League under leave of absence.
Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, Jr. (formerly
Mrs. Grover Cleveland), Is Secretary
of the committee.
The Security League’s objective Is,
in addition to giving exact informa
tion on the meanings of the war and
its causes, to create a more responsive
American citizenship through the me
dium of better methods of permanent
patriotic Instruction In the public
schools.
Twenty-eight Tons of Literature.
In order to reach the greatest num
ber of public school teachers direct,
the League conducted classes in pa
triotic education and distributed its
literature giving practical suggestions
on patriotic Instruction at 254 ®f the
principal Summer Schools for Teach
ers throughout the country during the
past few weeks. The literature dis
tributed by the League as the result of
the work at these schools has reached
a bulk of 28 tons. The League esti
mates that It obtained Immediate con
tact with approximately 200,000 pub
lic school teachers, who will carry the
message home to classes totalling over
2,500,000 pupils.
The Security League Is now prepar
ing to follow up these results with a
detinite plan of organized promotion
among the Teachers’ Institutes held in
the various states every fall and unl
fied direction of the spreading of the
propaganda in the separate states.
The methods followed in the different
states vary according to local condi
tions and facilities. In some states
(tie direct co-operation of the State De
partments of Education has already
been obtained by the Security League.
In other states the propaganda is han
dled through the County Superintend
ents, State Universities and by sending
workers into the state from the head
quarters of the League.
Some of the more prominent educa
tors of the country who are actively
engaged In the promotion of the Se
curity League’s idea are:
Dr. C. A. Richmond, President of
Union College; Albert Sliiels, Superin
tendent of Schools of Los Angeles;
Dr. M. F. Libby, of the University of
Colorado; Dr. Liberty Hyde Bailey,
arborlcultural and horticultural expert
and author. ,
Example* of Operation.
An example of the operation of the
plan under state supervision is given
In Minnesota, where State Superin
tendent of Education Schulz prepared
the itinerary to be followed by Dr.
William A. Frayer, of the University
of Michigan, In charge of the work in
that state for the Security League. In
Colorado L)r. Libby found it more ef
fective and convenient to work direct
ly with the County Superintendents,
but this with the heartiest approval
of the State Superintendent and the
Governor.
An Important division of the cam
paign is being devoted to negro teach
ers and schools. Among the tnen who
have been conducting the patriotic
missionary work In this field for the
Security League are: Dr. Holland
Thompson, of the College uf the City
of New York; Dr. L. B. Moore,
Dean of Howard University; Dr. Isaac
J. Lansing, of Ridgewood, N. J.; Dr.
M. S. Davage, President of Samuel
Houston College. They have delivered
patriotic addresses and conducted
actual classes for teachers In the Ne
gro Summer Schools of Virginia, North
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Lou
isiana and Texas. Denn Moore, him
self a negro, has obtained the organi
zation of more than 400 patriotic edu
cation classes among negro adults in
Louisiana and Mississippi.

eration nt Lawrence, Mass., in co-op
eration with the local educational au
thorities, an Experimental School, at

forts For Soldiers
Club rooms for soldiers, entertain
ments for the boys in khaki, outings

of the soldier and provides for his
mental ns wolf as physical comfort
by furnishing the facilities which
make it possible for him to relax

OF JEWISH TROOPS
Work Of Jewish Welfare Board Pro
ducing Splendid Results In
Camps and Trenches
No more effoctive work toward
maintaining the highest morale among
the American troops has been done
by any war organization than by the
Jewish Welfare Board, which is en
gaged In its task of keeping up the
lines of communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and
training camps and the folks back
home.
Believing that in the struggle of
morale against "kultur” the American
army has every advantage that will
insure success, the Jewish organiza
tion is making its chief issue the
stiffening of mental and moral fibre
among the soldiers of the Hebrew
faith. Tile call for workers is urgent
and rabbis, professional men, journal
ists, social workers and others are
entering the service of the Jewish
Welfare Board to make up the 400
workers needed to fill the ranks.

transportation faeiiiiies are being tax
ed to the utmost, thci task of -provid
ing reading matter for the boys in

an efficiency and dispatch that is sur
prising even to those who are closely
in touch with tYe situation.
The American Library Association,
which has shouldered the responsibil
ity of collecting books, magazines
and newspapers by the millions in
every city and town throughout the
country, is distributing this huge
quantity of reading matter to the

AMERICANS ASKED TO
LIMIT USE OF SUGAR
Must Use No More Than Two Pounds
Per Person a Month if the Present
Meagre Allied Sugar Ration
Is Maintained.
Stocks Will Be Short Until Beginning of New
Year—Ration May Be Enlarged Then.
Two pounds of sugar a month —half
a pound a week —that is the sugar ra
tion the U. S. Food Administration
has asked every American to observe
until January 1, 1919, in order to make
sure there shall be enough for our
Army and Navy, for the Allied armies
and for the civilians of those nations.
By New Year’s the world sugar sit
uation will be relieved somewhat by
the new crop. Cuban sugar of this
y.ear’s crop will be arriving In this
country.
Every available sugar source will be
drawn on by the Food Administration
during the next winter months to main
tain sufficient stocks here to keep up
our national sugar supply. During Oc
tober the first American beet sugar
will arrive in the markets. By the
middle of November some of our Lou
isiana cane crop will be available. All
of this sugar and more may be needed
to keep this nation supplied on a re
duced ration and to safeguard the Al
lied sugar ration from still further

reduction. In Europe the present ra
tion Is already reduced to a minimum.
Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces in its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution of sugar to the Al
lied world is ag follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun
try, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at a low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
Immense sugar stocks in Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as well as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment; reduced by one-half;
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every ef
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts of sugar.
Later, when the sugar supply is larg
er, the canned fruit may be sweetened
as it is used.

Thij is not only one of the best and

known. kl.itiy mothers have given it
their unqualified endorsement, XV’in.

Maintaining Morale.
We realize that a great part of a na-
I tion’s war time efticieicy is in keeping
life normal and efficient at home, in
tlie last analysis that nation which
• keeps most nearly steady and normal
In its industrial and domestic life will
maintain that morale which will win
the war for it.
The work of tlie Rural Problems
Committee perhaps is of particular in
terest in tliis publication which is.be
ing sent out by tlie National Security
Longue. Very few people in the coun
try have stopped to realize how in our
I body politic the rural committees are
i discriminated against in the matter of
j socializing forces. Our great cities
j have their amusements, their munici
pal halls and baths, their community
kitchens, their public libraries and lec
ture courses and innumerable settie
i monts and clubs where people are
drawn together and stimulated men-
I tally and spiritually. We feel that
sonie of these advantages should’be
j brought to the country districts.
Any rural woman who wants to be
put in touch with our legislative bul-
I i c qin, with our correspondence courses
in civic education or any information
in reference to the work of the Wo
j man Suffrage party should write to
