DR. SEF.LEY HERE
Head of State Board of Health Visit
ing La Grande Today.
"Of course I know Jack needs to"
go te school and he' pretty young to
work, but we need tho money," said a
mother today when she was talking
things over with a member of the
school welfare committee. It is for
just such children as Jack and hund
reds of others who pre working bo
cause living is high and wage3 good,
that tho Child Conservation section
and the Children's Bureau, U. S. Do
partment fo Labor, i-turted the buck-to-school
drive.
In tho eyes of the president and
his cabinet, rcturnh'tT to the schools
those children who have- left t'a:
early is an important piece of work,
and as good an invest ment for the
futuro as Liberty bonus In a letter
to Secretary Lane, Prerldut t Wtlson
says: "Tho mainienance o' ' the
schools is a matter of the very
affecting both
our strength in war, and our nation
al welfare and efficiency when the
war is over tlwrs will be ur
gent need not only for trained lead
ership in a.l lines of industrial
commercial, soei.il, sr.d civic life.
but for 'a very high overage of Inlet
ligence and preparation on ih.t part
of all the people. 1 would t':ore
fore urge that tho people continue
to give generous support to the
schools of ull grades ."
Since the opening of the fall
school term, the Children's Bureau
h 's made a series .of quick surveys in
industrial nnd commercial centers
which have shown that large num
bers of children livao left school for
work, and further that the children
are not doing the kind of work
which gives them training now, or
much hope of further development.
To combat this situation the back-to-school
drive was organized. The
right education of the children is the
best preparedness for national
strength In time, of peace. As a real
piece of reconstruction work the
at women of the local Ulinu vienare
I committees of the Council of Nation
al Defense have taken up tho back-
to-school drive. They tilk to the
children and of U13 children's par
ents In an effort to keep the children
from leaving the schools premature
ly. Financial assistance in the form
of scholarships will be given many
of the children who can not afford to
stay in school; the Red Cross will
help others who hare close relatives
still In the service. The. country Is
determined . that when "Johnnie
comes inarching hinre" he shall find
his smaller brothers and sisters
equipped to 00 their work us well
in Industry as he did his In the army.
