Mrs. Frnd O. Schllke, of I.a
Crumle, slate cliatrman of Child
Welfare, Council vf lvfen'se, has
ent out thi following address to the
tenchera of llio stats;
President WIIbod haa said: "Next
to duty of doing everything possi
ble for the soldiers cat the trout,
there could be, it poem to mo, no
more patriotic duty than that of
protecting the clitldien, who consti
tute one-third of our population,"
The tt-aohers of the nation have
responded to every call marie upon
them for the service to llio noble
men who so gull.inlly Kve tholi
services, many or them sacrificing
their lives, to inaUa the world safe
for democracy.
Tho war is over and we nre con
frontins our "l-.oxt" duty, which is
the protection or the cbildivD. As
rait of the great rucorstruitiiii
wave sweepina thioiiKh the country,
we are asked to see that eevry boy

es. Much license has been granted to
children in this time, on account or
the need of labor, and now the lure
of wiiges will ha a stronK temptation
to many or them. f can ill afford
to sacrifice the education and health
of our rtiture citizens to satisfy
tlicso who might profit by their la
bor, and unless we meet, the situa
tion immediately, some children will
bo viol- ting School Attendance laws
and many will be violating Child
I.ahor laws. Tho returning soldier
will also need many of these posi
tions. "
