IF YOUR CHILD GOES TO SCHOOL

in Jasper county you will share his enthusiasm for a 100 per cent Junior Red Cross membership for the present school year. Parents, as well as teachers, are interested in the 192021 plan for junior activities. Pamphlets presenting the aim, the plan and the program are already in the hands of many teachers, and it is hoped that the enrollment of all schools will be completed early in the term. School rooms enroll as units upon subscribing for the Junior Red Cross News, and the membership is primarily upon a service basis rather than a financial one. There no further financial obligation for the school except as the school may voluntarily assume on meeting its share of the service program. Some schools will choose to raise funds by the “save and sacrifice plan,” whereby pupils make voluntary contributions from individual savings or earnings, but any pupil, not financially able to contribute, may enjoy the same rights and privileges as the others, without embarrassment. Working with the bureau of education at Washington, D. C.. the Junior Red Cross is offering, as a part of the regular school course, a series of graded lessons in civic training; also a plan for interschool and foreign correspondence. Subscriptions may be entered and pamphlets obtained by sending to Chairman, Junior Red Cross, at Rensselaer. _ **
