' OUR BOYS AND GIRLS MUST RETURN TO SCHOOL' CLASSES. WHERE THEY WILL BE EDUCATED AND INFORMED. THAT THEY MAY GROW UP AS ADULTS WELL EQUIPPED TO
CARRY ON THIS NATION’S SACRED DEMOCRACY. OUR BOYS AND GIRLS ARE ENGAGED IN EVERY PHASE OF WAR EFFORT; SALVAGING AND URGING OTHERS TO SALVAGE PAPER,
METAL, TIN, AND MANY OTHER ACTIVITIES. THEY HAVE PITCHED RIGHT IN, TAKING WAR TIM|JOBS; HOLDING DOWN THE JOBS OF ME N IN UNIFORM
NOW THAT SCHOOL TIME IS HERE, THE PARENTS ARE URGED TO SEE THAT THEIR CHILDREN RETURN TO THE CLASS ROOM.
THE FACTS OF THE SITUATION AND W HAT HAS HAPPENED TO SCHOOL ENROLLMENT: FOR A GENERATION UNTIL THE PRESENT WAR OUR COUNTRY SLOWLY BUT STEADILY
BUILT UP IT’S HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT. IN 1940-41, THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS REACHED ITS ALL-TIME HIGH OF 7,244;000. THEN THE TIDE OF STUDENTS STARTED FLOWING
OF SCHOOL.
EACH YEAR OF THE WAR HAS SEEN FEWER BOYS AND GIRLS IN HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES. IN 1941-42 THERE WAS A SHRINKAGE OF 300,000. ANOTHER DROP OF 300,000 OCCUR
RED IN THE NEXT YEAR. IN 1943-44 HIGH SCHOOL ROLLS WERE DOWN ANOTHER 400,000. MOST OF IT POINTS TO THE GREAT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF BOYS AND GIRLS GOING
TO WORK.
CONTINUE WORK AND URGE THEM TO RETURN “BACK TO SCHOOL” THE FIRST DAY.
