PREFACE. 
This bulletin is issued as part of the war service work which the University Department of Extension is doing in co-operation with the American Red Cross. The editor, Dr. Frank L. Jewett, is one of the most active workers fer the Red Cross organization in Texas. 
In this time of national need many and various patriotic ap­peals have been made to the schools and through the pupils to the community. All are worthy appeals, no doubt, but teacners have found it confusing and well-nigh impossible to respond to the requests of all organizations, without unduly interfering with the regular school work. There is danger, perhaps, of a multiplicity of organization with resulting duplication and con­fusion. In any event, the American Red Cross offers a single organization which can correlate all patriotic appeals, and the activities which they invite. Other organizations may have a more or less limited appeal; that of the Red Cross is universal. 
Whatever other lines of patriotic service, therefore, may be undertaken by our schools, it seems plain that every school im Texas should actively co-operate with the Red Cross organiza­tion. ''There is a banner under which the children ,of all nations: can enroll. It is the banner with the red cross upon the white: field. It is the banner of a world democracy of mercy...... . There are three ways in which service may be useful: (1) By 
making; (2) by saving; (3) by ,giving. That is, by making articles which the Red Cross needs in its administrations ;: or by saving, denying oneself unnecessary things that others 'may have a chance to live'; or by giving a share of what one has earned or saved to help those wlio have offered their all.'• 
One of the best ways of promoting such service is through 
the observance of a Red Cross program at the schoolhouse, to 
which all members of the community are invited. A full pro­
gr'am for such a meeting is given in this bulletin, which may of 
course be condensed or changed to suit local -conditions. 
Special attention is called to the communications that follow 
from the President of the United States, the Governor of our 
University of Texas Bulletin 
State, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and. the Presi­dent of the University. These messages to the schools of Texas were, with the exception of the first one, prepared especially £or this bulletin,· and I take this opportunity of thanking the writers for their kind co-operation. Special acknowledgment is also <lue :\fiss J nlia Estill, a teacher i~1 the Fredericksburg High .School, for her kind assistance in furnishing a reading en the .Jnnior Red Cross. 
E. D. SHURTER, Director. 
A PROCLAMATION BY PRESIDENT WILSON. 
To the School Children of the United States: 
The President of the United States is also President of the American Red Cross. It is from these offices joined in one that I write you a word of greeting at this time. 
The American Red Cross has just prepared a Junior Member­ship with School Activities in which every pupil in the United States can find a chance to serve our country. The school is the natural center of your life. Through it you can best ·work in the great cause of freedom to which we have all pledged Purselves. 
Our Junior Red Cross will bring to you opportunties of ser­vice to your commnnity and to other communities.all over the world and guide your service with high and religious ideals. It will teach you how to prepare some of the supplies \Yhich ·wound­ecf soldiers and homeless families lack. It will send to you, through the Red Cross Bulletins, the thrilling stories of relief and rescue. And best of all, more perfectly than through any of your other school lessons, you will learn by doing these kind things under your teachers' direction to be the future good citi­zens of this great country which we all love. 
And I commend t~ all school teachers in the country the sim­ple plan \vhich the American Red Cross has worked out to. pro­vide for your cooperation, kno\\·ing as I do that school children will give their best service under the direct guidance and in­struction of theil-teachers. Is not this perhaps the chance for which you have been looking to give your time and efforts in some measure to meet our national needs ? 
A MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR W. P. HOBBY. 
Tyranny can not thrive where education is dominant. The duty of those in charge of our schools at this time is to implant into the mind of every pupil the fundamental principles of Democracy. The duty of every pupil is to learn and revere these principles. The schools' part in this conflict does not end with this, however. The occasion is every day which de-· mands the cooper~tion of every organized influence in America. 
No patriotic call must be unheeded by the teacher or the taught. · If it is for the Red Cross, the schools should take the lead. If Liberty Bonds must be sold, the school must take the lead in ac­complishing the sale. If our country calls for war gardens, every pupil should plant and harvest. To you must blighted Europe look for hope. 
OUR COUNTRY'S CALL TO 'rHE SCHOOL CHILDREN OF TEXAS 
BY W. F. DOUGHTY, STATE SUPERINTENDENT 
I am glad of this opportunity to say a word of encouragement to you, and I congratulate you upon your magnificent under­taking. · 
Your country is calling you, · and the soldiers in the camps and in the trenches are needing your helpful service more now than I or any other person can tell you in words. But you can think better for yourselves in this respect than you can be told. Just think what it would mean to you to be in the trenches facing the fury of the German shot and shell, gasping for breath against deadly gas; where disease, hunger, and death are turned loose to ravage human beings. Although you are not there, your relatives and friends are there, and the main purpose of your organization is to administer to them in making the su­preme sacrifice for the protection of home and country. 
Have you eYer felt the thrill of real patriotism that comes to you whrn the impulse to go to war and fight. for your country at any price seizes upon you? There is hardly any emotion more wonderful in its effect upon the consciousness of man. In the study of history, the memory of the unselfish patriot is regarded the equal, if not the superior, to the glory of the martyr who gave himself a living sacrifice for principle. But it is no longer necessary to go to the battlefield to die the death of the hero, or to be burned at the stake to prove your devotion to country and to truth. War still exists and truth is too often crushed to earth, but the times have changed. Wonderful prog­ress has been made and marvelous achievements are in process of development at the present time. A person of forty years 
living today has witnessed for himself more progress in the 
world's history war than did Mathuselah in his more than nine 
hundred years of what would seem now more or less monoto­
nous living. 
One of the most wonderful achievements of modern man is his conception of the democratic ideal and of universal service to humanity. In the working out of this conception of recognition ·and service, an important work is found for every individual. In line with this thought young people come in for their share of responsibility, and, in fact, this is an age of young people. Never before in the history of the world. have we seen men and women fight so successfully against old age in order to remain 
young. 
Everyone, old and young, is called upon to do a part of the 
world's work which is his or her own. Democracy is calling you 
to its colors to help win the great war for humanity. It is time 
for you to seize the opportunity before it is too late. Join the 
Junior Red Cross and help minister to the sick, the wounded, 
and the dying on the battlefield. Lend yourself unreservedly 
to the cause and give all you have, if necessary, to the service of 
your country and to humanity. No doubt if you do so, you will 
experience the exhilarating emotion of unselfish patriotism that 
comes to· you under no other circumstances, and makes you ap­
preciate more than ever before life and its wonderful possibili­
ties. 
HOW THE SCHOOLS CAN HELP IN ;wINNING THE WAR. 
BY ROBERT E. VINSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS 
It is not often that during a period of storm and stress such as the United States is passing now, we should be looking to the valuable results which spring out of such a catastrophe. '!'here are, however, many precious jewels in the head of this toad, however ugly and loathsome it may b~. One of the great­est of these, to my mind, is the fact that every individual in the United States has, or may have, a definite part to play in bringing about the only result which we can conceive, and that is victory for our country. Even children have their part, little children and school_ children, as well as young men and women and o].der men and women. The schools in which patriotic songs are sung, and love of country is taught, where children· are led to be workers in stimulating the outpouring of money for useful purposes, these are playing a part in the winning of the war, which will be of tremendous value ahd which will neserve to be reckoned among the great forces contributing to that end.

AMERICA. 
My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, 
Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the Pilgrim's pride, From ev 'ry mountain side 
Let freedom ring. 
My native country, thfe, Land of the noble, free, 
Thy name I love ; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills, My heart with rapture thrills 
Like that above. 
Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees 
Sweet freedom's song; · Let mortal tongues awake, Let all that breathe partake, Let rocks their silence break, 
The sound prolong. 
Our father's God, to Thee, Author of Liberty, 
To Thee we sing; Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light, Protect us by thy might, 
Great God, our King. 
3. DECLAMATION (by one of the older boys). 
LAWS FOR MEN AND LAWS FOR NATIONS. 
By E. E. DAVIS, 
University Extension Lecturer on Rural Education. 
One time a big savage chief was asked to define good and evil. He said: 
"Good is when I take my neighbor's wife and oxen, and evil is when my neighbor takes my wife and oxen." 
This big chief went about among his fellows beating them with a club when he became angry and taking such of their cloth­ing, jewels, an~ ornaments as pleased his savage tastes. He was the biggest and cruelest man of the whole tribe. He had no regard for the rights of others. He was a mad man and a rob­ber and all who knew him feared him. No one man even dared oppose him. Then the people got together in small
, . 
secret groups and began to talk. They said: . '.'We can't get along li.ke this. It is too disturbing. · Ifthis keeps up there won't be anyone left but just that fellow.,, 
Then a heathen prie'st had all the people assemble in the shade of a grove of oak trees. There they passed some rules of conduct. They agreed among themselves that the fellow who first broke these rules should have the whole tribe on his neck. Murder, theft, robbery were to be countenanced no longer. James' right to his life and property had to be respected by John. When John beat James, insulted his family, and car­ried away his property, all the rest of the people were to bear down upon him in punishment and compel him to repay James. In this way the tribe began to have· morals and men began to co-operate in making each other behave like gentlemen. 
The time has come when nations must behave among nations like men are required to behave among men. Nations must co­operate to this end. In truth, they are doing ~t now. The people of the earth are taking a stand today that the power­ful military giant, Germany, may be compelled to conduct itself like a gentleman and quit stirring up trouble. For four years the peace of the world has been,. menaced by this nation whose leaders are obsessed with the belief that they represent a superior race of people ordained by God 'to dominate the world. But moral law is a strongP-r power than brute force. Right is a mightier weapon than a war club or Krupp gun. The subtle powers of justice and right are against her-Germany cannot win. 
4. UNDER Two Fr,AGS: recitations by a boy and a girl, both coming on the stage at the same time; the boy in scout uniform holding a large United States flag; the girl in Camp Fire dress carrying a Red Cross flag. 
THE AMERICAN FLAG. 
By CHARLES EVANS HUGHES. 
(Declamation for boy.) 
This flag i<s the symbol of our national unity, our national en­deavor, our national aspiration. It tells you of the struggle for independence, of Union preserved, of liberty and union one and inseparable, of the sacrifices of bravi: men and women to whom the ideals and honor of this nation have been dearer than life. 
It means an undivided allegiance. It means America united, strong and efficient, equal to her tasks. It means that you cannot be saved by the valor and devotion of those of an ear­li~r day; that to each generation comes its patriotic duty, and that upon your willingness to sacrifice and endure, as those before you have sacrificed and enduredi rests the national hope. 
It speaks of equal rights; of the inspiration of free institu­tions as exemplified and vindicated; of liberty under law in­telligently conceived and impartially administered. There is not a thread in it but scorns self-indulgence, weakness and ra­pacity. It is eloquent of our common interests, outweighing all divergence of opinion, and of our common destiny. 
THE RED CROSS FLAG. 
By MARY MARTIN HARRISON. 
(Recitation for girl.) 
This flag is the emblem of the greatest union, Symbol of the highest good, Hail ! The promise of the ages-W ondrous flag _of Brotherhood! Borne by mercy through war's ho~rors, Raised by faith, by love unfurled, Flag that serves no f!ingle country, Splendid Red Cross of the World! 
Raise the Flag, Oh mighty Nations! For the stricken world to see; Bear it proudly through the future In the crusades that must be. As the Herald and the ;Token Of the wonders of the Dawn, It shall be the inspiratron Of the Nations yet unborn. 
It shall stand for work with knowledge, Lab 'ring for the common good-For unselfish single effort 
That shall raise the multitude. 
Stain it not with blood, oh Nations! 
Drench it no.t with bitter tears, 

This the Flag above all others That has bridged the hemispheres. 
Guard it, serve it, bear it, loye it, Dare to follow in its light­Immortal rainbow of the day, Star of Hope in darkest night. Underneath its rays all peoples Meet as brothers, neutral, free, All mankind shall hold it sacred­Red Crosil of Humanity. 
5. SoNG.-If this song can be given by a school rborus. it is a good plan to have the children in Red Cross costume come on the stage from opposite directions and form a large red cross in arranging themselves either in single file or two abreast. 
ONWARD RED CROSS SOLDIERS. 
(Tune of "Onward Christian Soldiers.") 
We are Red Cross Soldiers Doing what we can To help the sick and wounded To get well again. We are not divided All one aim have we, One in hope and helpfulness One in victory. 
Chorus-
Onward Red Cross Soldiers! 
Onward through the war, 
With the Red Cross Banners 
Going on before. 
With the sign of triumph 
Working hosts are we 
On, then, Red Cross Soldiers, 
On to victory ! 

In all nations gathered 
At a nation's call, 
Red Cross Soldiers mustered 
Triumph over all!

THE RED CROSS AND ITS WORK. 
By ANN GOREE, 
Of the Extension Loan Library Staff. 
In former time.s the sick soldiers, those wounded in battle, and the destitute and starving among the civil population over-. run by invading armies, were never adequately provided for. Upon innumerable battle fields the dead and the wounded have 13.in for days unattended, and more have died of neglect and disease than have been killed. 
It was the work of Florence Nightingale in the Crimean War that called attention to the need of new ideals and the oppor­tunities for ·nursing, and to Henri Dunant, a distinguished citizen of Geneva, Switzerland, is due the organized society for relief work. Henri Dunant visited the battle field of SoJ­ferino the day after the great battle between the French and Austrians-40,000 men had been lost. Through letter<; J.nd lec­tures-he told of the neglect of the dead, and of the inadequate provision of medical service and nursing for the wounded and proposed a plan of voluntary societies for the care of the wounded. The result of his plea was the International Con­gress of Geneva in 1863. This treaty, entered into by fourteen nations, provided for the neutrality of all ambulances, hos­pitals and their supplies, equipment and personnel, and adopt­ed a flag, a badge, and a uniform. Switzerland became and has· remained the head of International Red Cross Relations. 
In 1887 Miss Clara Barton organized ''The American Asso­ciation of the Red Cross," which was accorded national recog­nition in 1900. Miss Barton was president from 1881 to 1904 , -years o~ struggle and discouragement. In 1903 the mem­bership was 298. The great popular interest in the Red Cross dates from the entrance of the United States into the World War. Since then its membership has grown by leaps and bounds, its activities have hen multiplied many fold, and its membership now numbers twenty-two million. 
The American Red Cross has stood for preparedness for disaster, civil or military. 
The organization of the American Red Cross provides for the division of the country into thirteen sections:. Each division has its manager who directs all the activities that may originate at headquarters. At National Headquarters the different de­partments are separated into eight staff bureaus: Military Re­lief, Civilian Relief, Nursing Service, Transportation and Sup­ply Service, Chapter Development, Woman's ·work, and P1).b­licity. 
Thr.ough the Military Relief the Red Cross follows our sol­diers to the front and our sailors on the high seas, rendering to them all the physical and mental comfort possible. The special work is the maintenance of hospitals, canteens, rest houses, recreation huts for our own soldiers and for our allies where possible. It also distributes hospital equipment and sup­pHes; engages ·in civilian relief work; undertakes the protec­tion and education of destitute children and the cure of the · sick, mutilated, and disabled soldiers; aids in every way the inhabitants of devastated districts to r.enew their homes anJ farms. 
The Civilian Relief looks after the comfort and welfare of the families of soldiers and sailors in the national service. The Department of Standards is the commercial department of the Red Cross and. standardizes all its work. 
The J:?:epartment of Development has the organization of new chapters. Since our declaration of war there has been an increase in membership from 286,000 to 22,000,000. 
The Bureau of Supplies and Transportation has charge of the purchase of all supplies for the Red Cross; distribution of raw materials; the assembly of surgical dressings and hospital supplies made by Red Cross workers throughout the country, and the difficult problem of securing sufficient tonnage for ship­ments abroad. 
The work of the Woman's Bureau is to mobilize the women of the country in the Red Cross service. Nurses training scho?ls are crowded with students. Instruction is being given in surgical dressings, and in the production of such dressings. 
Throughout ·the land women are knitting and sewing with tirr:­less energy. Millions of hospital garments and surgical dress­ings arc being sent abroad. 
There is far too much to tell. The Red Cross is world-wide in outlook. An· accounting of the American Red Cross War Council appropriations shows that up to January 9 there had been appropriated from the War fund over $77,000,000, every dollar of which w~ for some form of relief at home or abroad. 
7. · READING. (By teacher, a citizen, or a pupil.) 
'rHE JUNIOR RED CROSS MOVEMENT 
By JuL!A ESTILL, of Fredericksburg. 
Through the length and the hreadth of our land, the bugle call has sounded, ''To the colors!'' _The flower of our country 's manhood has answered that call, and "wherever the star-flag 
· waves in the light of the sky, ' ' at home, on the sea, or 011 foreign soil, we find our boys doing their duty for the great cause for which W;e have pledged our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. 
Are we, my friends, whose part it is to stay at home, answer­ing the call, too? Are \ve doing all that lies in our power to aid th~ great cause for which our fathers, sons, and brothers are giving their life-blood~ 
We have be<.>n admonished repeatedly about conserving food, especially meat, sugar, and wheatbread, and we are cheerfully denying ourselves and using food substitutes in order that our fighting men may be supplied. We have been asked to give of our substance to the Young Men's Christian Association, the noblest of all organizations (save one) that ministers to our soldiers, and we have responded nobly and willingly. \Ve have written cheerful letters, and dispatched boxes of good things to eat to the boys that they may be reminded that we are think­ing 0£ them at home. Our women have given of their time and energy that our boys may be cozy and warm in their knitted helmets, sweaters, mufflers and socks. These same dear w-0men 
have stitched long and patiently on garmentc:; of various kinds to be sent to our army hospitals both at home and abroad. 
It is a beautiful thing, this labor of love, and a glorious priv­ilege; and the spirit of Christ directing our labors, speaks to the world saying: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto Me." 
But, my friends, is there nothing we have left undone, that it has been in our power to do? 
I am reminded here of a movement that was begun about the middle of last September-the organization of the school chil­dren of our country into bands" so that every pupil in the United States may have a chance to serve his country. This organiza­tion is known as the Junior Red Cross. 
It seems eminently appropriate, at this time, that the children, the pride and hope of our future, should engage in some activity that calls for sympathetic co-operation and loving sacrifice that they may themselves become bigger, richer, nobler-the kind of men and women "who will rule the world with a gentler sway, with love as their scepter-rod.'' 
'I'he Junior Red Cross enrolls all boys a~d girls of school age in public, private, or parochial school, who will give toward the support of the organization a small membership fee-twenty­five cents-and who are willing to do cheerfully small tasks that may be required of them from time to time. 
What boy would refuse his aid in gathering magazines and books for our soldiers, or in packing supplies to be sent to their camps? Where is the girl who would not delight in making comfort kits, mufflers, and pillows for the lads who are stand­ing between them and the horrors of war? 
Then there are the courses in dietetics, home-nursing and first 
aid that may be given to the older pupils-useful courses at 
any time-how much more so now! 
But by far the greater stress in Junior Red Cross work will 
be laid on the training that involves all the duties of citizenship. 
The individual pupil must be awakened to the fact that he has 
duties aside from those he owes to his immediate family; that 
his country, which has given him so many advantages, deserves, 
in return, his undivided allegiance in this hour of her peril. 
Does not this work for the Juniors appeal to you, my friends? And do you not think that we, too, should fall in line with hun­dreds of other schools throughout our country, in answer to the call of our Nation and her President? 1 Then ''shoulder to shoulder, firm and steady, eyes right ahead and heads held high" we will go forward in the strength of our youth to fight Humanity's ba.ttle, 
''Till the right wins the fight of the free.'' 
8. RECITATION (by a pupil). 
A TWENTIETH CENTURY PAUL REVERE 
(Adapted from a poem by Bennett Chapple in Boys' Life, February, 1918) 
Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of a Twentieth Century Paul Revere; Of a brave young Scout on a valient steed, Who rode a race for his Country's need. He heard ~f his Country's call for men; He heard of their sacrifice, and then-He heard of the need fo~ money, too; For food and clothes to help them through. He wanted to help though he could not fight, He wanted to serve in the cause of right. So he mounted his hors·e, Red Cross in hand, And rode and rode throughout the land. ''Money !'' he cried, ''money for clothes ! The boys in the trenches !' '-off he goes ; And 'mid the sound of the clattering hoofs The call re-echoed across the roofs­" Gather your nickels! Gather your dimes! Help the Nation Prepare, these Times! Lend the Red Cross a part of your pay! Store up! Store up ! for a rainy day.'' The people heard, as the Scout fl.ashed by, They heard his fervent, earnest cry. And out of the stockings laid away, 
And out of the closets hid from day, 
They gathered their savings of many years 
And poured them forth with hearty cheers. 
''Take these,'' they cried, in the cause of right, 
"We'll do our bit-and add our mite, 
"We'll help to-fight and win this war, 
"We'll save as ne'er we saved before." 
And when the Scout on his valiant steed 
Had spread the call of the Red Cross' need, 
He drew the reins as he reached his home 
And patted the neck all flecked with foam. 
'fOur work is done," he said, "Old Man­'l'he Nation's roused to the Red Cross Plan."

10. 	SONG. STAR SPANGLED BANNER 
Oh, say, can you see\ by the dawn's early li-ght, 
What so proudly w~ hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, 
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, 
0 'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallahtly stre~ming1 
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, 
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. 
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner y~t wave 
0 'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 

On the shore . dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, 
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, 
What is that whiich the breeze, o'er the towering steep, 
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? 
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, 
In full ·glory reflected now shines on the stream. 

'Tis the star-spangled banner, oh;long may it wave 
0 'er the land of the free and the home of .the brave. 

Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand 
Between their loved home and wild war's desolation; 
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heaven rescued land 
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. 
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, 
And this be our motto : ''In God is our trust !'' 
And the star-spangled bal'lner in triumph shall wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
