PATRIOTISM WILT
BE COURSE IN THE
NATION’S SCHOOLS
%
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.- In order
to bring the lessons of patriotism and
of national and international relations
within the comprehension of children,
the instruction in conservation which
is to be given in American schools
this year at the instance of President
Wilson will begin with and emphasize
home and local problems. A series ot
lesson leaflets will be issued monthly
by the Pood Administration and the
m
Bureau of Education throughout the
present school year.
During the past summer the food
Administration supplied its bulletin,
“Ten lessons on food conservation."
for courses given to adults in every
State university and agricultural col
lege having a summer session or a
teachers’ institute. These courses em
phasized the fact that the food prob
lem will remain as a permanent fac
tor in our community life.
For the Rising Generation
President W ilson’s recommendation
that school children Ik* enlisted to
study problems of community and na
tional life was instantly approved by
students of conservation. The Food
Administrator and I’nited States ( oni
missioner of Education P. P. < laxton
were designates! by the President to
secure the support of school authori
ties. The plan is to educate a rising
generation that will know better than
its predecessors how to conduct the
business of living.
The lessons will consist of reading
matter to he put directly into the
hands of the pupils. Leaflets of •”<
pages each will he issued every month
to May. Each month’s issue will be
divided into three lessons, printed sep
arately, one for the three upper classes
of high school, another for the first
eighth grades, and a third for the;
fourth, fifth and sixth grades.
For 1 se in Reading Lessons
These lessons will be used for read
ing in English classes, and for mate
rial for discussion or compositions.
The subject matter is so closely corre
lated with geography and history that
it can be profitably used at least one
hour a week in periods drawn from
the allotment made to these subjects.
It can be used in civics or current
topics work, or can justifiably be giv
en a place on the program as a ma
jor course in itself.
By beginning with the simple rela
tions and processes of the homo, the
editor of the leaflets, Prof. Charles H.
Judd, of the University of Chicago, ex
pects to work outward from a center
1 familiar to all pupils into wider fields
! that they know little of.
About one-fourth of each or the sec
tions of the first leaflet will utilize
the experience of the war by showing
the interdependence of members of a
modern social group. The war lessons
will take, up topics such as the follow
ing: What the war has used up; what
the war prevents men from producing;
new needs which have grown out of
the war and have been met by inven
tion.
First-Lesson Features
The first lesson takes up conditions
brought about or made acute by the
war. Lesson I in section A, for high
schools, points out how war involves
cooperation and economy. France,
withdrawing her artisans, chemists,
and engineers from the firing line, is
an example of intelligent cooperation.
The first lesson in section B. for upper
grades, discusses the effect of war on
the commerce in nitrate; and in sec
tion C, for the intermediate grades,

PRINTING Of THE BTTTTR KIND
i.the subject is “The war and aero
planes.”
The sectioji for use in the upper
classes of the high school will contrast
the life of a frontiersman with that
of a modern city dweller. The section
for the lower grades will deal with
the things society makes and uses.
Small Cost to Pupils
It will be possible to supply during
the year 2f>(> pages of reading matter]
to each pupil at an aggregate cost of
S cents, and to a teacher 7f>8 pages
for 24 cents. Reprints ran be ordered*
from the Superintendent of Documents
at Washington when desired in bulk. I
Small schools are asked to consolidate
their orders through county superin- •
tendents or State departments of edu- j
cation, and money orders are required
with the orders. It is recommended
that teachers secure all three sections
each month, no matter what grades
they teach, in order to he thoroughly
familiar with all printed matter fur
nished. Teachers are asked to pay
special attention to supplementary
reading matter indicated in the leaf
lets.

U. S. PRISONERS IN
GERMAN CAMPS
FACING SIARVATION
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—That American prisoners^
in German internment camps are just escaping starva
tion, is the news sent to the State department in a wire
by Ambassador Morris stationed at Stockholm, Sweden.
If it were not for the food sent to these United States
citizens by the Red Cross and by the Y. M. C. A. the\
would actually perish from hunger, says Morris’ report.
The American minister s information was gained
from Wilmot Smith, an American who escaped from the
German internment camp at Kiel and who has just arrived
in Stockholm.
According to- Smith, the fare of the prisoners is mis
erable and not sufficient to sustain life. For breakfast a
chunk of black bread and some cold colfee are provided
and dinner and supper have the same menu. This con
sists solely of a pint and a half of warm sou)) made from
nothing but turnips and water.
The Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. food packages are
said to be all that stands between the prisoners and death
from hunger.
