Boys Working Reserve Proves a Great Success
P EW things that came out of the war have been of greater significance than
4 the benefits derived from the United States Boys’ Working reserve, though
we are still too close to the movement to appreciate its results. Back in the
early summer of 1917 President Wil
son wrote: “I call upon the able
bodied boys of the land to turn in *7-5
hordes to the farms and make certain ' n
that no pains and no labor are lacking
in this great nation.”
The result was that “our second
line of defense,” ns Mr. Hoover first
called it, the Boys’ Working reserve,
was formed. There was a spontane
ous response in every state, many
schools and other organizations under- - —
taking the work of placing thousands
of boys who went out to help the farmers with tliclr work. In 1918 this army
of boys from sixteen to twenty-one years old was more than 250,000 in the
United States.
Of those 250,000 no less than 21,000 were from the high schools of Illinois.
So a glance at the Illinois report will give an idea of the results in the whole
country.
The Illinois boys produced crops worth $23,000,000 and earned for them
selves $1,200,000. Less than 1 per cent of the boys have proved unworthy of
the opportunity given them. About the same proportion of farmers proved
unworthy of having a good boy sent them.
The boys made the farmers open their eyes, and in a few weeks the
skeptical farmer was saying: “Send me more boys; the boys are certainly
making good.” It wasn’t long until there were boys scattered here and there
by the thousands. This meant much to the farmers, for there was an average
of one worker from every farm in service, and the boys took their places.
Teachers bear witness that the effect upon the boys was exceedingly
beneficial in all ways.

Schools of Dunkorquo.
On« of the things that deeply im
pressed the company of Journalists
from some twenty different nations
who recently visited Dunkerque In a
party was the story of the public
schools. Dunkerque, although it es
caped occupation, was under constant
bombardment; the enemy at one time
and another had the city under fire
by land, sea and air, but, except for
a short time in the beginning when the
buildings were used for war purposes,
the schools of Dunkerque, like those
of Reims, continued in session, and
new schoolhouses were built. When
ever the city wa» bombarded, the pu
pils, big and little, marched to the cel
lar In orderly procession, and some
times the entire Resslon was held there.
If a schoolhouse was partly shattered.
It was repaired at once, and school
promptly resumed; nothing, in short,
was allowed to Interfere with the con
tinuity of the schools of Dunkerque.
