President Wilson's proclamation to the children of the public schools, an- nouncing the organization of the Junior Red Cross and recommending to the boys and girls of the grades that they enter into the activities of the society through the school, as the center of their activity, brings to the teachers a new responsibility towards the children in their care. More and more the public school is delegated to perform those duties which were once considered the of- fice of the home. Teachers are be- coming final authority in many mat- ters with which parents were wont to concern themselves. Organization has taken the place of individualism even in the rearing of the children of the land, particularly in those mat- ters which affect their future citizen- ship. And the reason is not far to seek. All classes of our society are repre- sented in the public schools of city and town. The children from homes of refinement meet with those of the ignorant immigrant, recently come to America, unfamiliar with our stand- ards of life, unacquainted with the things which make for Americanism and for good citizenship. Both classes must be given instruction in the fundamentals of their social responsi- bility. Both must be submitted to the process of development which is designed for the child without home opportunities. Midway between these two ex- tremes of the public school group is the child which comes from the home in which there is plenty of money but a complete lack of parental in- fluence upon the children. Nurse- maids afford what éthical instruction the little people receive, instruction which may well be supplemented with the training in morals and patriotism, through the medium of the public school teachers. There are obvious advantages in the placing upon the shoulders of the teachers of the schools the duties which the conscientious mother and father would prefer to perform, be- cause of the greater number of the lack If these parents of the few children who suitable home training. concern themselves with the charac- ter of the training which is given on these matters only remotely related to the text books and mental develop- ment of the child, they will help to establish a higher standard of school- room work, secure for their own chil- dren teaching of which they approve, and for those others from the homes of meglect or ignorance the opportu- | nity which they wish for their own = boys and girls. The lesson's in patriot- ism which the youngsters are taught through the work of the Junior Red Cross are subject to this suggestion 'of surveillance upon the part of those parents that have properly developed ideas of the obligation of the citizen to his country and of the protected portion of the population towards those who go out into the training camps and thence into the trenches to fight for the common country of us all.

I~ THE BELL SYSTEM on an average every time the clock ticks, day and night, three hundred forty-seven new telephone calls are being made. TrE REQUIREMENTS for service for use in the all- important work of National Preparedness are many and urgent. The need to avoid waste is pressing, «and in the interests of National Efficiency the lines must be kept as free as possible to handle the abnormal amount of "traffic" used in the many war-time activities. Just ONE MINUTE SAVED on each telephone call made in the Bell System every day means a saving of fifty-seven years of productive time each day! You can save time on every call you make By looking in the book to make sure you call the right number and thus avoid the delays in "wrong number" calling; By talking clearly and distinctly, directly into the telephone, so that repetition of parts of the con- versation is not necessary; 3 By answering all telephone calls promptly with your name or the name of your company, so that time is not wasted in uncertain inquiries and introduc- tions.
