On the badge of every member of the Junior Red Cross are the words "I Serve." That tells the story of the school children's branch of the Anier' can Red Cross and Its efforts to briny happiness to children throughout the world. . "" - 1 Realizing that the time never was so propitious as right now for tench Ing the highest ideals of citizenship, the entire present program of the Jun ior Red Cross has been framed under the very Inclusive phrase, "Training for Citizenship Through Service" for others. Since the Junior Red Cross Is the agency through which the Araerl can Red Cross reaches the schoolboys and the schoolgirls, all Its activities are designed to come within the regu lar school program, and without creat Ing new courses or Increasing the num ber of studies to lend Its nld lu vitaliz ing the work of the schools. "The thing that is needed," says Dr. Livingston Farrand, Chairman of the American Red Cross Central Commit tee, "Is not a perpetuation of the Jun ior Red Cross, but the training and breeding of sound Amerknn citizenship Inspired by the true, fundamental ideals of sound democracy. One of the great conceptions In making the Red Cross a contributor to better citizen ship In our American democracy Is the realization that after all the sole hope of any nation Is with the children of the country." The plan of drganlzatlou of the Jun ior Red Cross makes the school pub lic, parochial and private the Unit, not the Individual pupils. Mutual serv ice, helpful community work such as clean-up campaigns, care of the sick, promotion of health regulations, par ticipation In civic and patriotic move ments all these creative agencies de signed to translate Into life and action the regular school program are parts of the machinery Which the Junior Red Cross places at the disposal of the school authorities. Graded study courses giving prac tical methods of civic training, supple mented by pamphlets and helpful sug gestions, are .supplied to the local schools by the Junior Red Cross. An elaborate plan for promoting an Inter change of correspondence between chil dren In different sections of the United States as well as with children In for eign lands is being devised and will take a prominent place in the estab lished classroom program. In promoting the general cause of child welfare, Red Cross courses In home hygiene and care of the sick, first aid, and dieting may be estab lished In all Junior Red Cross Aux iliaries. .1 '",. . - ' The Ideals and the objective of the Junior Red Cross are embodied In the pledge of service which the pupil takes when he signs the membership roll and pins on his coat the Junior's badge. The pledge which binds together serv ice and citizenship reads": "We will seek In all ways to live up to the ideals of the Junior Red Cross and devote ourselves to Its service. "We will strive never to bring dis credit to this, our country, by any un worthy act "We will revere and obey our coun try's laws and do our best to Inspire a like reverence and obedience In those about us. "We will endeavor In all these ways, as good citizens, to transmit America greater, better and more beautiful than she was transmitted to us." At the foundation of this school pro grain of the Junior Red Cross is a great love for America's children. RED CROSS ACTIVE IN DISASTER RELIEF ' When disaster hits a community are, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad wreck or tornado the American Red Cross can be depended upon to follow right at Its heels with help for the stricken people. Red Cross relief Is almost Immediately forthcoming food, clothing, shelter and funds; doctors, nurses and special workers with long experience In handling similar trouble elsewhere. During the last year, ending June 30, there was an average of four disasters a month In the United States. One hundred and fifty communities in twenty-seven states suffered. - The 'argest and most destructive of these were the tidal wave at Corpus Chrlstl, Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. - In these events of horror 850 per sons were killed, 1,000 were Injured, 13,000 were made homeless, about 30, 000 families-needed help, the property loss wns-nearly $100,000,000 and al 1 most $1,000,000 In relief fundi, not In. eluding emergency supplies nas ex pended. ' To the sufferers- from all disasters during the year, the American Red Cross senf $120,000 worth of sup pile. tiO Red Cros nurses atid seven uppclol relief trains.'. ; .To meet the neeift of the stricken, the organization set up ten relief utatlons, operated thirty food canteens and as many emergency hospitals.. One hnndrcd and twentyflve Red Cross chapters gave dlsoster relief wrvlee. . If dlfsas'er ever strikes Oils town or tvtntj, '.he citizens enn be, absolutely mrt the Red Cro will be right an hand to help thf-m la every way. V The last census in Bengal revealed the remarkable fact, that in that pro vince there were four thousand baby girls who had been married, and of this number 600, all less than a year old, were already widows. The American people send lots of sympathy to the Poles in their fight against the bolshevists, but unfortu nately sympathy does not provide a NATIONWIDE FIGHT AGAINST DISEASE American Red Cross Will Hav? Health Centers in All Parts of United States. - The American Red Cross has launch ed upon a nation wide campaign of fighting disease and physical defect among the American people. A new and unique health institution has come Into being as the result of several months' study by the Red Cross Health Service Department at National Head quarters. Officials In charge of the department predict that before long this new health activity will be In actual operation all over the country, and that the sign- "American Red Cross Health Center" will become as familiar to the peo ple everywhere as are now the signs of the telegraph companies. Busy Long Before War. The Interest of the American Red Cross In the fight against disease Is not, however, of recenr origin. Long before the war the organization began this health service through Its medical units In disaster relief work and its department of Town and County Nurs ing. During, the war and following the armistice thousands of American Red Cross officials have been fighting disease In the war-stricken countries. At the same time tens of thousands of local Red Cross officials have been en gaged at home fighting disease, nota bly during the Influenza epidemics. The American Fed Cross has de termined that all this valuable experi ence in health service abroad and at home shall not go to waste. So long as there are a half a million people dying yearly In this tountry from pre ventable causes, and so long as more than one-third of the American chil dren and young people are victims of physical defects, the Red Cross recog nizes the urgent need for continued Red Cross health service at home. How Organization Works. The Red Cross Health Center Is governed by business principles, ap plies business methods, and, In Its more simple form, can bo established and conducted by lay people. It proceeds upon the demonstrated fact that health Is a "ommodlty that can be bought and sold like brooms and soap. Therefore, It establishes It self In a storeroom Jn the principal business section of the community. It displays Its goods In the form of at tractive health exhibits in Its show windows. It advertises constantly and extensively. And it uses every busi ness and social device to attract cus tomers. The Red Cross nealth Center Is of service to the sick In that It gives out reliable and complete Information about existing clinics, hospitals, sana toria and other Institutions for the sick and the defective t about available nurses, both trained and practical; about when to consult a physician and Why to shun the quack and bis nos trums. Teaching Disease Prevention. The Red Cross Health Center is, however, of even greater service to the well. It teaches people how to pre vent sickness and disease. This Is done In many Interesting and attractive ways first of all, by the distribution of popular health literature and through health lectures Illustrated with lantern slides or with health motion picture Alms. Then special exhibits are given, one after the other, on various health subjects. Practical demonstra tions are made ; also health playlS by children to Interest and Instruct them selves and their elders. Classes are organized In personul hygiene, home care of the sick, first aid and In food selection and preparation. Health clubs, both for younger and older peo ple, are formed ; also Little Mothers' Leagues. Nutrition and growth clinics are conducted for children. Already more than A hundred of these Red Cross Health Centers are In actual operation throughout the coun try. Many ef them also conduct med ical ' clinics, but the one chief, Out standing feature otthe American Red Cross Health Center Is Its health edu cation service which teaches well peo pie how to keep well. FRENCH PRAISE FOR OUR RED CROSS WORK Lauding the work accomplished by American philanthropy for war stricken France, Andre TardleU, form er high commissioner from that na tion to the United States, In a recent article widely commented on through out the French press, snys: "The American Red Cross has ac complished a work which calls for the heartfelt gratitude of every true Frenchman. In 1018 this great relief organization spent In behalf of France nearly 87.000,000 francs, and In 1919 ltd expenditures on charitable projects In our 'country attained the tremen dous total of 171.000,000. It has re cently turned over to the French relief organizations huge stocks of Sup plies whose value must be counted Jn the hundreds of thousands of francs.
