Junior Itcd Cross Campaign.
Beginning today and continuing
until Washington's birthday, a cam
paign to Increase tho membership of
tho Junior Red Cross will bo conduct
od.
Tho Junior Rod Cross is a depart
ment of tho Amorlcan Red Cross be
lnnclnrr to tlin school children rf thn
United States thru which they can I
find oxprosBlon In every form of
patriotic service. As Pcrsldcnt W11-;
son, who indorsos this movomentj
says: "Learn by doing kind things
under their teachors direction to ho'
tho future good citizens of this great'
cothtry which wo all love."
Tho aim of tho American Rod Cross
in establishing a Junior membership
Is primarily an educational one. It
otTors to school children a release of
energies, stimulated at the present;
tlnio by unusual conditions, through j
organized activities for others. It
toronosos. however, not to coasu Its
I work with tho cossation of the war,
I but to continue In the timo of peace
1 its efforts to Inculcate tho highest
duties of cltlzensshlp, involving all
the Ideals for which the Red Cross
struggled before tho war.
Tho Rod Cross authorities bellovo
that tho Junior membership, if prop-j
erly developed, will become one ofj
tho niost Important branches of tho,
Red Cross work on nccount of tho'
great educational services and tho
amount of supplies and funds contri
buted by It. It should also crcato an
Interest among tho now Junior mem
bers which will lead to their future
enrollment as senior members of tho
Red Cross.
Tho plan of organization is to use
the school class room as a unit and
tho school body as a group under its
own officers, tho school teachers,
membership In tho Junior Red Cross
Is not obtainable directly by tho in
dividual but through group or unit
membership. By this Is meant hat
when a school Is enrolled as an Auxi
liary, such enrollment automatically
makes every member In the school a
member of the Junior Red Cross. The
membership fee Is 25 cents for each
child In the school. This fee. can bo
raised In various ways, either by the'
child making the payment or by tha
school giving entertainments or earn
ing the money in" performing service
of one kind or another for which
money can bo collected.
