Do your Tilt for reconstruction by
(foing back to school!" This is what
I the children's bureau of the United!
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

wiso. 1 he scholarships will have un
avoi-ac vnluo of $120, which will keep
n child in school for n year.
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-"
