Stutcs department of labor is sayin,;: :to the thousands of children who Jur-j ing the war deserted the schools to en ter industry. High- wflges and the la-i bor shortage have proved an irrcsiat-j ible bait to many youngsters. Jobs1 offering little training and less "fu-: ture" have been taken by children who I are tired of school," and "old enough to work anyway," or who feel that they must "help at home.!' Whatever. itheir reason for wanting to work, the' federal government has declared itself j against their employment in firms having government contracts. . j j The children's bureau is sponsoring i a back-to-school drive which will try I to return to school those youngsters I who have left too early for their' own good; and for the good of the, (country. Asin the two other drives i jof children's year the actual w.irk of tho campaign will be done by 'ho mil-' lions of women in the local chil l vel-j fare committees of the council of na l tionnl defense. A back-to-school som-i mittee will be appointed for each ofj tho 281,000 school houses in the Unit ed SUites. The first tnsk of these! committees will be to study tho local! child labor and school attendance laws. When these have been mastered, n list' of the pupils who should have returned to school this year, but failed to do o, I win oo gotten irom tnc scnool re-jr-is or tno county superintendent, the! school principals, nnd the teachers. Then committee members will cull on the parents, and talk over with the.n why and how it will benefit their child to go back to school. In many cases financial a.i'iintnnce is necessary to enable the child to tnkj up nis siuuies again, many communi-) ties will give tins assistance in the form of scholarships, similar to those now offered in a few high schools, and in nracticallv nil collefi-es anil univer sities. It is hoped that at least one! scholarship will he founded for each public school in the country. That would allow 281,000 children to return to school, who could not do so other s'!

Tho refusal of thn federal govern ment to employ children in the war industries gives point to the bureau s contention that they should not be al lowed to form a cheap source u labor for the peace industries. ie war la bor policies board, the United State employment service, and the United States' boys' working reserve have nil taken a stand against employing chil dren under M. The policy of all these organizations hr.s been to discourage ; the employment of children under 10,, nnd to urge the child to go back to ; school. As the bureau points out, the drive's i success depends upon the co-operation .that it gets. The teachers can either 'make or mar it. for it is they who will have to show the returned child that , the schoolroom can give him an equip ment so useful for the future that it I entirely outweighs the present high .wages. The schools will be called upon to adapt themselves more nnd more to developing nnd changing needs; and finally the community needs to co-op erate in demanding that child labor nnd school n Hernia nee laws be en-1 forced, and that the children have tho, advantage of vocational training and1 guidance, so that, as President Wilson says, "the nation mny be strengthened an it can finy be through the right, education of all its people-" lloii civi-iU hoaiis ;ono HOOD.
