BRITISH SCHOOLS IN WAR-TIME
MORE YOUM OFFENDERS, BUT GREAT INDUCEMENTS TO THRIFT.' The dual effect of the war on children is well brought out in Mr. 11. A. L. Fisher's first report as President of-the Board of Education. Ho states tiiht much concern, has been caused by the increase, in juvenile offences, duo to tho absence of fathers and elder brothers; Whilst on another page there is a remarkable account of flie influence of tho schools on war savings. Most of tho village associations in some districts were started by the schools and have grown until they liavo gradually absorbed the village. In a town in- tho Midlands, with 59 schools, every school formed an association. In a. school of 500 scholars in i\ northern town every child wrote a letter to its parents asking permission to join the school association. Next morning <£23-1 Is. was brought by the children. Much war work has been done in secondary schools. In one school in Bradford over 1200 articles, , including splints, crutches, bed-boards, etc., were made during tho year. Munition workers and oven Royal Flying Corps men have been trained in schools.
