formance of one of the highest
of patriotic duties.
There is not, in any real sense,
any remuneration Because
thousands of citizens urged that
members of local boards should
not be placed in a position of
performing their grave duties
for pay, the regulations provided
that, ordinarily, the service shall
be uncompensated. Because it
was not desired that any man be
prevented from rendering the
service by the necessity for earn-
ing his daily bread, a small re-
muneration was provided.
The Nation needs men, and
needs them quickly. The hours
will then be long and the work
absorbing The duty is si waj s
to take and never to give, and
human nature is such there will
be little praise and some blame.
The sacrifice of many of those
whose cases sre to be decided is
no greater than that of the men
who are to decide them; and
your only reward must be the
knowledge that, at great person-
al sacrifice, you are rendering
your country an indispensable
service in a matter of the utmost
