For Our School Children
They want to know about this government of ours; they want to be familiar with how it operates and just what it does. That is a part of the education they are receiving in school. The more they know about our government the better citizens they will make as they grow up; the better qualified to vote and take a part in the activities of the nation.
To enable them to know the details of just what the government does; to know the activities of the many departments and bureaus, we have arranged to print a series of articles written by Mr. W. L. Bruckart, of Washington, whose business it has been for many years to familiarize himself with governmental operations.
Each one of this series of one-column articles can be read with interest and profit by each student in our schools. They will show the wide ramifications of this mighty enterprise we call government, and they will be able to determine for themselves how much of it is essential and how much unessential to the well being of the people who must pay for it directly or indirectly.
