Asks Club Women to
Aid School Anendance
A special appeal to club women in
the United States has been issued by
the United States Commissioner of
Education, Dr. P. P. Claxton, urging
that the influence of the organiza-
tions they represent be given to the
maintenance of the schools of the na-
tion in their full efficiency during the
present crisis. Dr. Claxton says:
“Everywhere there seems to be a
fear lest our schools of all kinds and
grades, and especially the public
schools, will suffer this year because
of conditions growing out of our ent-
rance into Che war. On the other
hand, both for the present defense
and for the future welfare of our
country, as well as for the individual
benefit of the children, it is of the
greatest importance that the schools
shall be maintained in their full ef-
ficiency, both as to standards of work
and attendance of children.
"While the war continues there
will be many unusual temptations to
many kinds of juvenile delinquen-
cies. Prompt and regular attendance
at school and proper employment dur-
ing out-of-school hours will be the
jchtldren’s surest protection against
such temptations.
"When the boys and girls now of
school age have reached manhood
and womanhood there will be need
for a higher standard of Intelligence,
skill, and wisdom for the work of life
and for the duties and responsibili-
ties of citizenship than we have ever
yet attained. Our schools must now
be so sustained and improved as to
enable them better to prepare our
boys and girls for life and work in
the new age which will follow the
close of the war and the coming of
peace. No boys and girls must now
be neglected or exploited for shelfisli
ends.
"In all this probably no others can
be quite so helpful as the club wom-
en of the country, most of whom are
also mother*-, of children. For this

Here Is a Record
In Food Conservation
Wm. Broyles, who needs no further
introduction to our readers, said the
last time he gave this paper a true
story, concerning the name of a
young lady in North Carolina—which
name, by the way, broke all records
—many of his friends accused him of
indulging in fiction. But he says
since truth is too valuably to lose he
is taking another chance on having
•his veracity questioned. This time
he comes forth with a report on food
conservation—one of his personal ex-
periences. Here is his report, and
we think you will agree with us that
it is some record. Mr. * Broyles
says the other day he went into a
lot al market and bought a. ten cent
soup bone, which he carried home
ard turned over to his wife. She
made soup, and good soap, for two
days from the purchase, and on the
third day made hash from the trim-
mings. And to still make it C'tunt,
Mr. Broyles said he later ground the
bone and fed ft to his chickens. He
wants some ' of his mathematical
friends to tell him what the cost was

three days. What is the answer*
