BOARD 'OF EDUCATION OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OIF SCHOOLS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION BROOKLYN, N. Y. May 22. I944 To lhe sludenls ol Junior High Schools, Dear Girls and Boys: Today I should like lo call your allenlion lo an imporlanl aspecl ol lhe war ellorl lor which all ol us on lhe home lronl have a responsibilily. Many ol you have lalhers. brolhers and relalives in lhe service. You need no slimulus lo make sure lhal all our slrenglh be exerled in order lhal lhe war may end in complele viclory lor us al lhe earliesl possible lime. I hope you will nol be shocked loo much when I lell you lhal we have a considerable number ol unconscious saboleurs among us. A professional saboleur is an enemy who is engaged in lhe deslruclion ol our induslrial planls, equipmenl, power slalions and malerial necessary lo achieve viclory. I am nol, however, relerring lo lhal kind ol saboleur. The saboleurs I have in mind are called vandals. Their icy is lo break lhings lhal are eilher useful or ornamenlal. You see lhem in lhe slreels smashing bollles lo small bils in lhe palh ol passing aulomobiles. You see lhem breaking and delacing public and privale properly. No window is enlirely sale lrom lheir aclivi- lies. They are no respeclors olllowers. grass, shrubs. and lrees. In some neighbor- hoods lhe houses look drab and ugly because any allempl lo beaulily lhem is undone by lhese lhoughlless youngslers. Al a lime when il is dilhcull lo oblain rubber because ol lhe war emergency children's deslrucliveness lorces upon cilizens an impossible problem ol securing replacemenls 'lor lires ruined by jagged bils ol glass. Such waslelul deslruclion resulls in lhe loss ol valuable hours ol work and vilal maler- ials which would olherwise be used lo make our cily a more beaulilul and happier place in which lo live. I Wherever you may be, wherever your influence exlends. in lhe house in which you live. in lhe slreel. in your immediale environmenl, why nol loin wilh olher palriolic American boys and girls lo slamp oul deslrucliveness? ll we all gel logelher we can do il. Vandalism in our cily will nol exisl il il is conlronled by a slone wall ol disapproval. And incidenlally. lhe besl approach is by example and nol by words. , As a lasl suggeslion our parks, recrealion cenlers, selllemenl houses and communily cenlers oller so delighllul a program ol sporls, shopwork, clubwork and conslruclive aclivily in general lhe year round lhal no one need be al a loss how lo use his lime inlelligenlly and agreeably aller regular school hours or during vacalions. Sincerely yours, ELIAS LIEBERMAN, Associale Superinlendenl - 24 ..
