Patrons of Country Schools Asked

to Aid in Combating Influenza

f o Patrons of Public Schools, Wayne County: We regret very much that the conditions caused by the epidemic of In luenza necessitates the closing of our ichools, for we are deeply concerned ibout the welfare of our children The

ichools have been closed so manyJ

lays that our hopes of a term's work fairly well done are shattered. Our schools have been tested by this srar as never before. The men who vent to the front received their edusatlon In the public schools. The loyilty and success of this product Is the measure of efficiency of the school. The government needed the teachers

ind the school machinery, in order to

reach the no ires of all the people with

Important information. The response came in Wayne county before the re-

guest was made. More than 300 teach

ers have given themselves and their

ichools over to the Government since

war was declared against Germany.

Records of Wayne county ahow that our schools have been working on a war modified program, and reflect the

manner in which we hace adapted our

selves to new conditions and new demands. We began on Lincoln's birth

day in 1916, by each chlldd sending a penny to the Belgium children, and ended on Liberty Day, Nov. 11, 1918,

completing the purchase of 59,000 dol

tars of war saving stamps, an average

of 16 dollars per pupil. . The co-operation f the teachers in making the records of the selective draft, their activities in every school on food conservation plans, Red Cross, farm cenaus, tag day, registration days, Liberty Bonds, and War Saving

Stamps are all items of common knowledge. The food administration, through Dr. Barnard, coraends us highly for our co-operation, and Mr. Oliver in a letter CNircfee3 his appreciation for the support which our schools gave to his war saving campaign. As the last and greatest, we have given twenty-eight of our best teachers to. the army, some of which have made the supreme sacrifice and fortytwo women from the school teaching force have given their services to the government for war work. All this is noble and a record to which we can refer with much pride, but today we are facing a serious condition in our schools in the reorganization of our work. What we need first is that the

schools be kept free from interruption by outside agencies, bo that our

reorganization and plans for tne ru

ture can be worked out by school peo

plepersons who understand the school problem, and are trained in thia work and by patrons of the

school Itself. These children are

there problems, and we can trust this

solution to these classes oi persons,

We expect early in the new year, by

means of conferences neia in tne anferent townships between the teach

ers and parents and aided by the edu

cators, to get at the neeas oi tne

school and to develop plans to meet

these needs.

But . Datrons. we must make the

'start. We must get ready to open our schools soon or our children will have lost one-half year's work in school, which may change the course of many lives. We want to pleaJ with you to co-operate with us to 'stamp out this epidemic now and we .can do so, if every parent will hp us. If every patron of the school will keep bis children at home on his own

farm or yard, and not allow them to pay visits or attend parties or mingle with other children and when compelled to enter stores or strange homes to wear "flu" masks and will

do this until Dec. 2. we can open our i

Bcnoois, ana arter school opens if you will not allow your children who are sick In any manner to attend school.

we can remain free from interruption. You need not wait until an officer quarantines your house, quarantine your family yourself, and live a life as far as possible of Isolation for tec days, and we feel sure that we can take the first step and open our schools. As to the teachers, the board of education will automatically dismiss any teacher who from now no needlessy exposes himself to danger during this period or who travels or shops or visits without taking the precautions Indicated above. We wish to thank you for your untiring efforts during these months of severe trial and ask you to Join with us for the sake of our children and of our county to make Wayne countr schools as of old, . the best In the state, and such as a prominent educator described us recently, when he said, "I make a trip once a year to Wayne county to set my clock, educationally." Sincerely, CHAS O. WILLIAMS, Pres. Board of Education, Wayne County:

WANT STATE BANKS IN FEDERAL RESERVE

By AFoclatd Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. A concerted movement by state banking interests to obtain uniformity of state bank laws and federal legislation to encourage state institutions to join the federal reserve system has been undertaken through the United States council of state banking associations. From newly established headquarters of the council here, a statement issued today explained that "it is hoped by close co-operation with the re

serve board, legislation will be securea .which will permit all state banks, the character of whose business makes them eligible, to become members of the federal reserve system.' The statement further says that "in establishing an office In Washington, the council did not have In view the creation of an agency to advocate legislation designed merely to give one class of banks, or banks in one locality, an advantage over others, but rather to assist as far as possible in the conetructlve development of our banking laws to tho end that our banking resources may continue to meet the abnormal demands made upon them."

SENATE CONSIDERS REVISED PLANS FOR REVENUE

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. Revised plans for raising revenue in accordance with estimates of government peace time expenditures, as outlined by Chairman Simmons in a proposal submitted yesterday, were considered today by the senate finance committee. The plans provide for the raising in 1919 of $6,000,000,000 and in 1920 of $4,000,000,000 by taxation. Members of the committee expect to reach a decision today on the plans as submitted by Chairman Simmons. Republican members at a preliminary

discussion of the Simmons plan yes

terday voiced vigorous opposition to the portion of the proposal relating to 1920 taxation. Should the republicans oppose the 1920 plan to the extent of

blocking passage of the revenue bill in the senate, democrats, according to Chairman Simmons, will force incorporation in the bill of a straight eighty percent, levy on war profits. The Simmons plan, which it is said, has been approved by Secretary McAdoo, provides for retention in the taxation program for next year of the house rates' on incomes and excess profits with the exception of the six percent, differential on undistributed corporation earnings, elimination of the twenty percent on luxuries and reduction of special taxes from rates contained in the house draft of the bill. The war profits tax would be abolished in 1920 under the Simmons plan, the excess profits schedule reduced about one-third from the rate in the revised committee draft, and the individual and corporation income tax rates lowered to eight percent.

NEED PROMPT AID FOR BORDER CITIES

PACKERS WANT INCREASE.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22. Packing house employes submitted demand for flat

increase of 25 cents an hour in wages.

HAVRE, Nov. 22. (Correspondence of The Associated Press) Conditions in some French and Belgian cities and towns near the Franco-Belgian border are reported an "in seneral, good' by Major van Schalck, Jr.,

acting Red Cross Commissioner for Belgium, who was one of , the first Americans to enter some of these places after the Germans evacuated them. In a message to the Red Cross headquarters here, he said : "There is no great emergency like general famine, there is no great amount of sickness, there is no tremendous shortage of clothing, but there is need of prompt assistance on our part to meet what distress exists. The roads are horrible, especially on the Passchendaele Ridge. "Roulers a town of 25,000 inhabitants has now but 1,100 civilians left. Iseghem a few miles distant, a town of 18,000 inhabitants has 1,100 left. "Our camions have rushed a lot of food up to Turcolng, Lille, Roubaix. Other camions took emergency rations up to some of the other little villages this side af Roulers. Ambulances brought back sick and wounded Belgians who had been under bombardment." . Telling of his trip to Iseghem, Major van Schaick described an incident typical of the return of the Belgians to their homes which had ben occupied by the German military forces. "We had with us a school master,"

wrote the Red Cross commissioner. "When the war began he buried all his little fortune, an accumulation of the savings of a life-time in the garden of his house in Roulers. He returned with our driver, wondering whether he was a poor man in his old age or whether he had enough to live on comfortably for the rest of his life. He found nis house burned, hia garden ploughed with shells and no trace whatever of his money. " 'I will start again,' said 1 he. It was a tough thing for him -to ' find that he had lost everything.

"While some of the inhabitants have been taken away to work," reported Major van Schaick, "they are in the minority. Many thousands, of course, have been sent back behind the German lines. There are thousands who remain. They need the help of the American people."

The American Red Cross established 1,000 hospital beds on reconquered ground within a few days after the Germans had crossed the Vcsle.

At one station rest-house in Italy, the American Red Cross feeds 54,000 a week In a mess hall arranged to handle 1,000 men an hour.

ROTHERDAM, Eng., Nov. 22. Tobacco users In this town are being registered and rationed and the scheme appears to be working very well. Already 14,635 smokers have been enrolled and obtain their supplies without difficulty. They take their national registration card to the police office, are placed on a customer's register and each receives a card which is taken to the tobacconist, who accepts the customer. Other boroughs and towns in the district are proposing to follow the same plan.
