IF THERE EVER WAS A TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WHEN YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN SHOULD GO TO SCHOOL IT IS ZNj)W E principal business of the nation now is to win the war. The prin¬ cipal business of the State College of Washington today is to help the nation and her allies to make “the world safe for democracy.” The task will be accomplished before our arms are laid down. This is not only a war of weapons, but it is a war of trained minds—and it is the trained minds, not the weapons, that will win for the world democracy. The service which the college is rendering the United States and her allies over¬ seas consists of more than the sending of hundreds of college trained young men to battle. Back of the armies at the front is the great producing population, whose fail¬ ure will mean the failure of the armies. Leadership and direction, and technical skill, and expertness are needed in these “industrial reserves” of the army. Not every boy is physically able to be a soldier. But every boy and every young man has a place ready for him in time of war, if he trains himself to occupy it. It is for the se, as well as for chemists, engineers, statisticians, and military strategists that the State College has a message. She has been tried in this great world conflict and has not been found wanting. Her young men are now serving the Colors in every department of the army, on land, sea, and in the air, but best of all the training which these boys and girls are receiving is an equipment for usefulness in peace as well as in war.
