WHAT THE CHILDREN DID
You know what they did.
They helped in the great work that the Red Cross was doing in the World War.
They made bandages and splints and clothing for the wounded soldiers and sailors.
The girls knitted sweaters and mufflers and mittens to keep them warm.
The boys made stretcher poles, knitting needles, packing cases, and many, many other useful articles in their manual training classes.
All the children stopped wasting food.
Many gave up some foods, of which they were very fond, in order to save them for the army.
Indeed, one could talk all day about what the children did.
They helped by sending to the Red Cross what they made and what they saved, to be used in the work of the Red Cross.
