The Red Cross-Join!

of enrolling college students as
members is not merely to obtain
memberships from among a par
ticular group, but to spread
a knowledge of the aims and ob
jects of the Red Cross and to
arouse the lasting interest of the
young men and women who are
soon to become actors in the
]niblic life of their communities.
The Red Cross now plav'S a
prominent part in the activities
of pupils of the high schools.
Without intruding upon the regu
ar curricula, it encourages a sense
of citizenship and, through an ex
change of correspondence with
schools of the insular possessions
and foreign nations, a broader in
terest in knowledge. The intro
duction to Red Cross work thus
received in the secondary schools
is carried into the colleges, where
the annual roll call offers an op
portunity for becoming accjuaint-
ed with the program of the
society.
As readers of news events, col
lege students know that the Red
Cross has been active ever3’'where
in the past year in promoting its
general peace-time activities and
