All Workers
May Expect
New Draft
. . . On Home Front
Stating that "every college and
university should be turned com
pletely into an army and navy
training center," Harry Hopkins,
special assistant to President
Roosevelt, has prophesized a selec
tive service for workers on the
home front.
The number of persons now idle
who will be affected by this law,
if it comes, will be 6.6 million, he
explained in an article written for
a recent American magazine. This
includes 4.5 million women, 900,000
older workers, and 1.2 million boys
and girls.
High school courses should be
shortened so students will have
more time to work, especially on
farms, he said. Some students
should quit school altogether, for,
he declared, "A diplo: a can only
be framed and hun c . the wall."

To give recognition to deserving
students, and to establish a refer
