The boys and girls of America can perform a great patriotic service for their country by helping our National Salvage effort. Millions of young Americans, turning their energies to collecting all sorts of scrap metals, rubber, and rags, can help the tide in our ever-increasing war effort.
They will earn the gratitude of every one of our fighting men by helping to get them the weapons they need—now. I know they will do their part.

CHAIRMAN	September 1, 1942
TO THE SCHOOL TEACHERS OF AMERICA:
As educators, you know that America's school children are its hope for the future.
These citizens of tomorrow have a unique and glorious opportunity to safeguard that future.
To keep America's war plants rolling, we urgently need millions of additionel tons of scrap iron and steel now. We need more scrap rubber—now. And we need rags, burlap bags, and manila rope in any condition.
America's children ... in thousands upon thousands of cities, towns, and villages across this country . . . can make an enormous contribution to the Nation's scrap collection effort.
Properly directed, their eager minds and busy hands can tap hidden sources of this vital material hitherto untouched. And I know they will eagerly welcome this chance to play a real and important part in the war.
As the Government's direct contact with these millions of youngsters, you are key figures in this enterprise. Its entire success depends upon your wholehearted cooperation.
I feel sure that, in this hour of need, we can depend on you to direct and organize the school children in carrying to a successful conclusion the plan outlined' in this manual.
Sincerely yours,

IN REPLY REFER TO;
August 25, 1942
Dr. John W. Studebaker, Commissioner United States Office of Education Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Commissioner:
Last spring, many highly successful campaigns were conducted by school children to collect the salvage materials that are so urgently needed in the war effort.
We have intensely studied local campaigns, and out of their fine experiences, our Division has prepared a National plan for a school salvage effort that we offer to you herewith. It has a double value:
First, it will produce a huge tonnage of the vital scrap iron and steel, rubber and other materials that must be had at oncè for war production.
Second, it will give to every school boy and girl a desired opportunity for patriotic participation in backing up their fathers and brothers at the fighting fronts.
It is our hope and desire that all city schools and rural schools will join in this salvage collection—and that they will do it early this autumn. The greater the collection of scrap iron and rubber that reaches our factories in the next few months, the sooner we shall win the Victory for Freedom.
Sincerely yours,
Lessing J. Rosenwald, Director Conservation Division War Production Board

Mr. Lessing J. Rosenwald
Director, Conservation Division
War Production Board
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Rosenwald:
I am sure that you can count on the enthusiastic cooperation of superintendents, principals and teachers in carrying out the School Salvage Plan.
The program which the Conservation Division of the War Production Board has prepared is easily adaptable to operation by all the schools in any State, under the direction of the Chief State School Officer, or it can be used in a single county or city, or even in one small rural school.
I am glad to recommend this plan to all educational leaders and to the great junior army of children under the immediate supervision of their principals and teachers.
We, of the Office of Education, are fully confident that the results will be even greater than you anticipate—for we know of the boundless energy and enthusiasm and the eager desire to serve their country that burns in the minds and hearts of this magnificent army of youth.
The schools will produce salvage to help win the war!
Cordially yours,
Commissioner

America’s Junior Army Can Fight The War With Salvage
A Plan For the Organization of School Children as the Third Front for Victory
Sponsored by the Conservation Division, War Production Board, Washington, D. C., and indorsed by the U. S. Office of Education.
In this war, the Front is made up of our Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines, and Air Corps, engaged in actual battle with the enemy.
The Second Front consists of our factories, shipyards, and farms, where civilian workers are producing guns, tanks, planes, ships, and food for our fighting men.
The Third Front includes every man, woman, and child in the United States, whose chief duty is to comb the entire Nation for the scrap materials that are absolutely necessary to keep our factories running—absolutely necessary for Victory.
The principal scrap materials needed now are:
Iron and steel
Rubber
Copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, zinc, and lead
Old rags
Millions of tons of these materials have already been collected and used in the early months of the war. Millions of tons more must be collected quickly—and the collection must go on without let-up until the last shot is fired. Truly, scrap will win the war. Without it, our steel mills and munitions plants will be forced to shut down, the production of guns, tanks, ships, and shells will falter, and our Armies will face defeat.
4
Fortunately, however, America’s homes and farms are an inexhaustible mine of waste materials of all kinds. We must get out this scrap and send it to war. We must dig more deeply for every ounce of iron and steel, of rubber and rags.. It is no longer enough merely to contribute the scrap that lies on the surface, in plain view. We must now systematically search basements and attics.
To contribute to this great national salvage program is the greatest opportunity for every civilian to back up our soldiers on the firing line.
A Big Job for Our Schools
Recent experience in several widely separated districts over the country has proved that school children are the most active and thorough collectors of these needed scrap materials.
It is therefore recommended that they be organized everywhere as a Junior Army to take their place in the vanguard of the Third Front of America’s fight for Freedom and Victory.
The plan that is presented in these pages has been adapted from programs that have already been used in various communities throughout the Nation with great success—programs that have turned into needed munitions of war many thousands of tons of salvaged metals that were lying idle and useless in homes and on farms.
The adoption of this plan in any State or community will not in any way conflict with salvage programs that are now in progress by Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H Clubs, or other organizations and industries. Coordinated to the efforts of the general salvage committee in any city, the school plan will add a youthful impetus which will be found to increase collections greatly.
Generals, Colonels, Captains, and Privates
It is recommended that the program be used on a State-wide basis, with the children from every school in the State—both city schools and rural schools—going into the field as a Junior Army engaged in a major campaign for Victory.
In a State-wide Junior Army, the following is the plan of organization:
The Chief State School Officer will be the Commanding General of the Junior Army.
County or other superintendents of rural schools and City Superintendents of Schools will be designated as Colonels.
Principals of Schools will be Majors.
5
Teachers will be Captains.
Among the children in each schoolroom there shall be appointed, on the basis of responsibilities and production, Lieutenants, Sergeants, and Corporals. Other children shall be Privates, eligible to promotion for meritorious performance of duty.
Getting the Plan Under Way
The Chief State School Officer is presumably already a member of the State Salvage Committee. For the purpose of this School Salvage Program he should be appointed by the State Salvage Chairman as chairman of a special School Committee.
The Chief State School Officer should call a meeting of all county and city superintendents of public and private schools in his State, and these persons, together with the Executive Secretary of the State Salvage Committee, ex officio, will act as the subcommittee of the School Salvage Program.
At this meeting, the need for continued effort in the collection of scrap must be emphasized and explained fully (the Executive Secretary of the State Salvage Committee will provide material for this purpose and a representative of the Conservation Division, from Washington, will be present if desired). Complete plans for the organization of the Program will be presented, and the City and County Superintendents will be commissioned as Colonels of the Junior Army.
Details of the organization program may be changed if necessary, but it is essential that the main features be maintained in all cases.
County and/or City Organization of the Plan
As soon as possible after return to their respective places of duty, each of the City and County Superintendents of Schools will call a meeting, in cooperation with the local Salvage Chairman, to be held at some central point. Invitations will be sent to all principals of public and private schools, all teachers, members of the city or county Defense Board, the County War Board, PTA leaders, city and county industrial and trade leaders (especially representatives of the automotive, petroleum, rubber, and farm-implement companies, all of whom are active nationally in the salvage program); newspaper editors, radio-station managers, scrap dealers, and others who will contribute inspiration and leadership to the effort.
The “Colonel” should be prepared at this time to present a well-coordinated plan for the campaign, worked out in detail. ... It is to be emphasized that while much latitude may be permitted in the actual collection of scrap by the school children, the basic plan must
6
be adhered to in order to give the State-wide effort (or the city or county effort, if the campaign is to be local) the unity that is required for complete success.
Preliminary Organization of the School
Each local superintendent or principal (Majors in the Junior Army) will organize the campaign in his school in accordance with the ages and capabilities of the children, and the characteristics of the district which the school serves—urban or rural, rich or poor, etc. Following are some of the recommended steps in the preliminary development of the school campaign:
1.	A meeting of the teachers in each school or group of schools for the development of final details applicable to the school.
2.	Preparation of a map of the district showing all streets or roads and all residences to be called upon.
3.	Assignment of school children to definitely designated streets, roads, blocks, or other areas for their intensive participation in the drive. This is highly important. It is in accordance with the methods of commercial sales organizations, which strive always to avoid overlapping of effort. Householders must not be annoyed by having too many children calling indiscriminately at their homes to ask for scrap. Further, a haphazard, unorganized drive will not produce the results that are desired.
4.	A meeting of the children for careful explanation of the plan. This may be in assembly or in individual classes, as the principal and teachers may think best. In presenting the plan to the children, special emphasis must be put on patriotism, on the fact that in getting in the needed scrap each youngster is playing the part of a soldier behind the lines and is actually helping to defeat our enemies. Dramatize in understandable sentences the general salvage litera-
477541°—42---2	7
ture—that an old wash pail can be made into 3 bayonets, an old set of golf clubs into one .30 caliber machine gun, a copper kettle into 84 rounds of ammunition for an automatic rifle, etc. Emphasize also the profit motive—that the youngsters can earn War stamps and bonds for themselves (or for the school) by working hard in this campaign.
5.	Institute a poster contest among the children, urging each one to try his hand at drawing a dramatic poster to advertise the school’s campaign. This contest should last not longer than a few days. War stamps prizes may or may not be offered, as desired.
6.	Institute also a slogan contest, also—lasting for a few days and with the same incentives.
7.	At the end of the contests, the best slogan and the best poster produced in each school should be selected for use as the heading of letter paper on which the children will write letters to every householder in the district. The letterhead may be prepared by mimeograph, printing, or whatever other method may be available.
8.	Each child should write three letters, addressing one to his parents and one to each of the neighbors living next to him. These letters should explain, in the pupil’s own words, the purpose of the drive, the need for scrap and its war uses, and should call upon the householders to assemble whatever scrap material they have for collection by the school children. Approximate dates when the scrap will be called for should be stated in these letters.
Mechanics of the Campaign
Every home and farm in the school district must be called upon, and the teachers (Captains) may adopt whatever division of territory
8
seems most desirable to assure complete coverage. If it seems best, pupils may be sent in pairs to make their calls—it is specifically recommended that younger children go in pairs—but in no event should any child be permitted to go out of the area specifically assigned to him, except that each child may be permitted TO COLLECT SCRAP FROM HIS OWN HOME.
The letters (8, above) should be delivered personally by the children to their parents and neighbors.
Within three days after delivery of all letters, the children should start the canvass of the homes and farms assigned to them, and request delivery to them of whatever scrap may have been assembled. Small articles may be taken personally by the children. Larger items may be listed by the children (be sure they write each list, with the name and address of the householder, on a separate slip of paper) and the lists turned in to the teacher who will arrange, through the principal’s office, to contact the local salvage committee and arrange for transportation. The teacher should collect these slips from the pupils showing the heavy material available and see that the addresses are correct, and the handwriting is plain. In many cases, it will need to be rewritten.
One or more of the older boys in the school should be appointed Lieutenants in the Junior Army, charged with the responsibility of receiving and weighing all scrap as it is brought in, and issuing receipts. (Receipts with stubs may be kept, or a carbon copy may be made of each receipt; it is essential that one method or the other be followed so that accurate payment may be made later if required.) Where possible, try to have scales of some kind at the school grounds; the youngsters will take more interest if they can see what they bring in weighed at the time.
The County Superintendent, or the principal of each individual school, must arrange for transportation of all collected material from the school to the scrap yard. This should be done, if possible, so there will be no cost to the school—otherwise there will be too much deduction from the amount paid to the children for their efforts. In some cases, friendly junk men will undertake collection as a patriotic service, but often the price paid for delivery at the junk yard is higher than when the dealer goes out to make the collection. Farm-implement dealers may lend their trucks for collections in rural districts; automobile and truck dealers may be counted upon for assistance, because of the active support to the salvage campaign that is being given by the Automotive Safety Foundation. Local merchants and trucking companies may be asked for help. In many States, county
9
road commissioners may be counted upon to haul scrap material from the school yards to the scrap dealers. In other cases, the WPA organization may be called in.
It is highly essential that transportation be arranged for in advance of the actual collection of scrap at the school grounds.
The County or City Superintendent of Schools (the Colonel) should visit every school during the drive, addressing the entire school in assembly if possible, and certainly calling personally at the room of each school that is making the best record. Stimulation of a spirit of rivalry between schools and between rooms in each school will materially assist in promoting the success of the undertaking.
Prizes of War stamps for the greatest amounts of scrap brought in each week may be offered if desired, but this is optional.
The County or City Superintendent should work at all times in close cooperation with the County or City General Salvage Committee. Items to be Salvaged
The greatest need is for scrap iron and steel, which must be had by the steel mills to make the quality of steel required for guns, tanks, jeeps, ships, and other munitions of war. Scrap rubber, especially old tires and tubes,. rubbers and overshoes, garden hose, gloves, bathing caps, hot-water bottles, etc., is in constant demand for war purposes. There is also a steady demand for rags. Do not collect tin cans as other methods of collection have been provided for.
Before any school saves paper, check your local dealers to find out if there is a market for it.
In assembling scrap material in the school yard, put all iron and steel in one pile, rubber in another pile, rags in another, and so on. Rubber and rags should be properly protected and stored in such a way that there will be no fire hazard or damage to rags by water.
The children should be instructed to report to their captains all abandoned bridges, saw mills, cotton gins, and other sources of iron and steel which they cannot collect themselves. This is also true of accumulations of old heavy machinery on farms.
Selling the Collected Scrap
The County or City Superintendent should discuss with the local general salvage committee all such matters as collection, transportation, prices, public weighing, immediate payment and to whom, etc.
Most householders will donate whatever scrap they have. Some, however, will wish to be paid for their contribution. In the latter case, the pupil should make a list of the material offered for sale and urge that the householder deliver it at once to the junk dealer. This
10
list should be turned in to the teacher (Captain) who will see that it is forwarded to the County Salvage Chairman for record and follow-up.
The County Superintendent, in conference with the principals (Majors) and teachers, should decide whether the proceeds from the sale of salvage materials be used for the individual schools (for athletic equipment and the like) or distributed directly to the participating children. They may like to leave it up to a vote of the children.
On the whole, payment to the children themselves provides a greater personal-profit incentive to work hard and get in the scrap.
Payment to the children should always be in war savings stamps or bonds—no exception to this.
At the end of the drive, the County or City Superintendent shall forward as quickly as possible to the State Superintendent (the Commanding General) a complete report by weight of all salvage collected, listing iron, rubber, rags, etc., separately; also a report of all money received from the sale of salvage and details of what was done with the money received.
Publicity
Constant publicity, through newspapers and radio broadcasts, will materially help any school campaign by focusing the attention of every one in the district, the county, and the state on the program and its importance in the war.
It is suggested that the State Superintendent (the Commanding General) and each City and County Superintendent (the Colonels) appoint publicity directors to act on their committees and to have daily contact with newspapers, radio stations, and other publicity outlets.
It is suggested that winning posters made by children in the schools be loaned to newspapers that are equipped to make cuts, and that where possible the big city papers be requested to furnish matrices of
11
these cuts for the use of smaller papers. In most States, the Associated Press or United Press have facilities for making engraved plates and mats. If these winning posters are shown or sent to the State or district Associated Press or United Press manager, the chances are they will have mats made for dissemination to all daily newspapers in that area. Weekly newspapers over the country could possibly borrow these mats for reproduction from the nearest daily newspaper.
Winning slogans should be publicized.
Posters and banners may be secured through the Executive Secretary of the State Salvage Committee.
The reproduction of the United States Flag, with the wording “Give it your Best,” should be posted in every schoolroom, in full view of the students at all times.
Each room teacher (Captain), with perhaps two of the children, should visit a local scrap dealer’s yard and report to the rest of the class the way scrap iron and steel are prepared for use of the steel mills—by compressing into bales and cutting, with heavy shears, into short lengths.
In newspaper publicity, outstanding instances of unusual items collected, or of small children who do especially good jobs, or other interesting and different experiences should be used to the utmost.
Records of the progress of the program should of course be furnished to the newspapers as often as possible.
Editorials based on material to be furnished by the State Executive Secretary should be encouraged.
Photographs should be taken and published where possible. It is suggested in this connection that, prior to the Salvage Program, the School Superintendent or his designated representative should contact any local camera club with the request that they take pictures throughout. the program of interesting and newsworthy events. It is possible that these pictures could be printed quickly and be placed on display
12
in some prominent downtown store to add emphasis to the collection. Possibly, the local photographic equipment stores might be induced to provide films to the camera club and cooperate by printing the pictures at no cost and help arrange for the window display.
Leading merchants should be urged to cooperate by devoting show window space to the display of scrap of desired kinds, together with implements of war which are made from scrap— guns, tanks, jeeps, shells, etc.
Other publicity devices may be employed—such as having a child appear for a short talk at the weekly meetings of Civic Clubs. In most instances, the Superintendent of Schools, or members of his staff, belong to one or more of these Civic Clubs. It is suggested that the School Superintendent delegate a representative to contact each Civic Club in the city immediately prior to the School Salvage Program, and arrange for these short talks by pupils of the various schools in the community.
Local radio stations will almost certainly give spot time for the appearance of a child.
Large radio stations that cover the entire State will give time for State Superintendents to make a short talk once a week during the program. Local school superintendents should contact the local radio station and arrange for daily broadcasts pertaining to the salvage effort. Most schools have some one in charge of public speaking or English classes, and they could select students to appear on the radio, who are capable of presenting the daily activities of the program.
Ministers of local churches should be asked to preach on salvage as a patriotic effort on the Sunday before the drive begins; or to permit the appearance of a school child at the morning service to speak for a few minutes on the importance of this effort.
Be sure that all newspaper releases are well filled with NAMES— names of children, of teachers, of donors of scrap.
It is respectfully suggested and urgently requested that the editors of all newspapers and the managers of all radio stations be invited to all meetings of school committees where the subject of salvage collections will be discussed.
It is highly advisable that the county or city superintendent of schools urge upon the newspaper publishers and the radio station managers the assignment of staff members to attend all meetings and daily keep in touch with the entire school salvage program.
The success of the school salvage program is highly dependent upon proper publicity. This cannot be stressed too much. Of course, a program that receives a lot of publicity but does not produce salvage
13
tonnage is not a success. On the other hand, we doubt if any school program will fail in its efforts if proper publicity is given.
