WAR WORK IN SCHOOLS
fUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS W. R. RUTHERFORD
in his annual report to the board of education, submitted
utst night, makes a suggestion that is well worthy of adoption
not only in the schools of Eugene, but in cities and towns of the
state generally. He proposes the organization of war councils
or committees to pass upon war work projects to be taken up in
the schools, with the exception of the larger projects definitely
asked by the federal government.
Mr. Rutherford states that there is danger of dulling the tool
which offers a most magnificent agency in reaching the people
by overloading to the detriment of work that is of greater impor
tance. "Besides the assistance given to the -war projects, I feci
that much of real educational value is found in the various war
projects, and if they are handled carefully and constructively,
our boys and girls will be better citizens for helping in these mat
ters, but if such work is to be most effective or if it is to be
made a benefit to the children, it must be carefully planned and
carried out," he states. "This requires thought and time and the
most serious problem this year has been the hurriedly consid
ered projects of individuals or organizations which have been
too suddenly thrown upon us to be carried out through the
schools. Many minor plans have had to be rejected for want of
time. The most serious danger in the war work of the schools
is in attempting so many things that not only the regular work
of the schools will be weakened but their capacity as war agen
cies will be diminished. An attempt has been made to have a
state council which shall pass upon the projects to be introduced
in the schools, but so far nothing definite has been done. Unless
some such plan is developed, I believe we should have a local
council, composed of some of our most thoughtful people before
whom all projects outside of the larger projects definitely asked
of us by the national government, shall be laid for their approval
before being taken into the schools."
There are several very good reasons why the schools should
have a council of the nature suggested by Mr. Rutherford. It is :
too much to ask a superintendent of schools to take the full re-:
sponsibility 'of passing upon projects, which he may be asked to
decide upon over night It is not improbable that some persons
over-estimating the value of some work in which they are taking
a great personal interest may desire to secure the schools as a
working force at a time when such participation by the schools
- would seriously interfere with other work of greater value. A
council or committee could sift out the projects of greatest merit
and obtain maximum results by providing for a systematic or
ganization of the school forces.
The report by Mr. Rutherford points out that the school ha3
been found to be a great organized agency into which an idea may
, be launched on any day and crystalized into a national principle
or purpose over night: Discussing work actually accomplished
in the Eugene schools, he states :
"I think we may be justly proud of the amount and variety
of work in connection with the war done by the teachers and
pupils of the Eugene schools during the past year; for from the
reports published from time to time of the war activities of the
schools, I do not believe that any town of this size in this state or
in the west has accomplished more in this line. Every pupil from
' tba primary grade through the high school has found some part
of the work which he was capable of doing. Food conservation,
Liberty Loans, Red Cross, Belgian and Armenian relief, Y. M.
C. A. War fund and Thrift stamps, besides many smaller pro
jects of a patriotic nature have been aided through the schools.
Thousands of small articles for the convenience and entertain
ment of the soldiers and for the Red Cross work have been made
by the boys and girls. Nearly two tlourand books were brought
in by the children for the soldiers' library. Over two hundred
packing cases for Red Cross shipments have been made by the!
boys of the upper grades in high school, who have themselves
paid for most of the material used In making them. Several
thousand dollars worth of Thrift stamps were bought and sold,
by the pupils." ' . '
The report also contains a long list of hundreds of articles I
for the Red Cross made by the girls in the 6th, 7th and 8th !
grades. j
War project1 have been one of the most striking features of I
educational work during the past year and with the possibility!
that even greater demands upon the schools will be made during i
the coming year the suggestion of a war council is timely and of,
great vtlua.
