Societies and agencies of the government have urged that\u003cbr\u003eevery available means be employed to inform the American people of the\u003cbr\u003ereasons for the war and the issues at stake; and much has been done for\u003cbr\u003eadults.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLittle or no thought seems to have been given to youthful readers who\u003cbr\u003eare beginning to think for themselves, and whose first thinking should\u003cbr\u003ebe properly guided, for they are at an age when tales of heroism and\u003cbr\u003edaring make a strong appeal.
