Excerpt from The War Book
Many of our homes must furnish their young men for the army and navy. This involves a large sacrifice and we may depend upon such homes to do all that they can to assist their boys in accomplishing a victory. Everyone, however, must be led to be equally willing to sacrifice for the country"s welfare. This can only come about when our boys and girls and their parents come to understand and appreciate the fact that this war is not the concern of any class or group. When we are called upon to endure inconveniences in order that we may save food or fuel it is not for the purpose of helping a food or fuel administrator who may be located in Washington or in our state capital. It is, first of all, to assure that Vermont boys and others who have been called to the colors shall have proper food and sufficient equipment, and then to assist in preventing the starvation of those people who are fighting with us in this great cause.
It is therefore necessary for everyone to know how our armies are raised and cared for. We should also understand why we must produce and conserve every possible bit of food and fuel.
This book has been written for the sole purpose of furnishing this information to Vermont boys and girls.
