STAY INSCHOOI AND
TRAIN FOR FUTURI
“It is tbe children who are In scheo
today who will see to it that the!
fathers and brothers who have fough
and died in tis war have not tough
and died in vain. We must keep then
in school and see that they get ther
the equipment they need for the worl
that is before them,” Said Secretar;
Wilson in a recent message indorsini
the Back-to-School Drive which is be
ing conducted by the Children’s Bu
teau of the United States Departmen
I of Labor and the child vonservattoi
Section of the Council of Natidna
Defease. “If we are not to go dowr
tc defeat in the battles &Y peace, w<
must have an army of reserves wh<
are strong In body, well-trained ir
hand and mind.’*
The administration at Was'hihgtot
has repeatedly expressed the opinior
that any falling off in school attend
ance should be discouraged. Th<
President himself, as well as the Sec
retaries of War, the Navy, the Interioi
and Labor, have publicly emphasizec
the imprOtanee of keeping the school
going at full capacity.
tl, in the next few years, the United
States is to have the help of Intelligent
men and women in meeting the ex
traordinary obligations it is assuming
it Will be necessary to check the exodus
of the boy§ afid girl* from the high
and elementary schools, statements
issued in connection with the Back-to
School Drive point out. The reckless
squandering of the child power of the
country, through premature entrance
into industry, is one of the great evils
now <0 be corrected.
A bulletin recently Issued by the
Children’s Bureau states that the wort
engaged in at this complete sacrifice ol
educational Opportunities usually of
fers the children no training and
very slight prospects of future em
ployment. It adds further that 1,000,.
000 children between 14 and 15 leave
school for work every year.
It is hoped that as a result of the
Back-to-Schoo] Drive stricter stand
ards for protecting the education ol
the American child will be set up.
GETTING THE ARMY
HABIT SELF-SACRIFICE
The following is from one of many
thousands of letters' received by Ameri
can fathers from their boys on the
other side, written on "Fathers’ Day.”
It is from a First Sergeant who spent
his twenty-first birthday in the trench
es this year. The father is a prom
inent professional man of New York
City, and another son is a First Lieu
tenant.
Having given you a slight idea of
where I have been and what I have
been doing, I want to try and give
you an equally rough sketch of what
it (the war) has done to me.
Primarily it has opened our eyes
in regard to the adaptability of the
human body and its almost unlimited
endurance in the trace of strain and
hardships. For example, one night our
outfit, in heavy marching order, car
rying ammunition which brought the
total of each man’s burden close to
100 pounds, had to cover twent-eight
miles, steady marching, a feat which
before the war we all would have
classed as beyond physical endurance
However, we alt staggered In at the
finish, walking like men in their sleep
weaving from one side of the road to
the other, and with the totally ex
hausted being supported by those
more able.
Moreover, it has made many men
more religious, though that is not just
the word I want to use there. What I
mean is that this life has given many
opportunities for little acts of kind
'j ness and self-sacrifice, (that is the
Hword I should have used, self-sacri
fice.) It has been interesting to see
how at first many men were rather
ashafned to be caught doing some
thing kind, or giving up something in
1 return for the happiness of generosity.
!i Later, however, the principle of shar
'j ing everything with the other fellow
• became as habitual and binding as the
| custom of saluting officers; really be
j came instinctive. As for religion in
| itself, all I can say is that no man
! can go through one battle, with its ev
j cr-occurring miracles of courage and
self-abnegation, where one Juggles
with death at every step, without com
ing back with an iron-bound faith in
Divine Guidance.
Lastly, every man Jack of us has
! given more time to serious thought
i than we ever did before in our lives,
j For a little instance, let me tell you
i that last night I listened to two men
| in bunks near mine, one of hem an
! uneducated Russian from the Ukraine,
I and the other an illiterate coal-wagon
: driver from Philadelphia, discussing
! the underlying principles of this war,
j and trying to see why it was neces
i sary for so-called civilized nations to
j take up arms against one another. Al
| though I could have improved upon
| their diction and grammar, I was
| ashamed to admit that they were go
i ing deeper into many questions than I
, had ever done, and were showing that
: they had worked out phisosophies of
j life to a much finer point than I had
i ever attempted.
Many of us have an opportunity to
| focus our mental lens, newly clarifed
by cur experiences over here, on our
j lives “befo’ the war,” and have been
j rendered capable of seeing thatsome
j of our ideas and ideals were wrong,
! and I feel safe in saying that more
| "good resolutions” have been formed
: by Americans in France since the war
j started than were made on all the New
j Year’s Days of the past ten years.
[There is one salient difference.though
jand that is that the proportion of
these resolutions which is carried out
! is going to be far greater than the pro
I verbial New Year’s ones. Therefore.!
taking it all in all, I feel safe in;
saying that I expect you will find me
greatly changed when you next see me
Not physically, for outside of a couple
of scars and a pair of frosted ears I
i bear no physical signs of my trip, but
| mentally, for I believe I will have shed;
I a little of the queerness with which
I did most of my thinking and feeling,
and have become just a normal, ordin
ary creature, giving a little more
thought to things worth while, and
Ditching into life with a little more
definite aim.
No doubt you will have some sort
of a (Christmas) celebration, though
nothing like the old ones of Seventy
sixth Street. However, please present
my greetings to any of my friends
with whom you happen to be on that
day. You will probably see M., Mr.
P., Uncle W., and others that I
know, so just tell them that I will be

The Statement of This Oregon Wo

Hillsboro. Oregon, points the way ir
the words of one of its most respected
residents:
Mrs. A. R. England, 728 W. Oak St.
Hillsboro, Ore., says: “Two years
ago I hal such a bad attack of lum
bago that I wasn't able to get up
.or down stairs. When I sat in a
chair I could hardly get up again.
Sharp pains, like a knife sticking me
in my back, nearly killed me and I
could hardly drag myself about. I
had taken only a few doses of Doan’s
Kidney Pills when my back got strong
er and one box made me able to get
about as well as ever. Since then I
have never had any trouble with my
back or kidneys.”
