Excerpt from Lantern Slides for War Service

The statement has been made that the rural communities are not giving the same whole hearted and patriotic support to the war activities of the nation as was expected. If there is any element of truth in this assertion, it is due to the fact that the people in the country arc not fully informed and have not been brought face to face with the gruesome facts in connection with German intrigue and atrocity and with the impelling reasons for our placing the sons of our state and nation on the altar of Democracy.

German propagandists have been awake to this situation and have not hesitated to spread far and wide among our country people insidious falsehoods concerning the war.

This bulletin and this war service of lantern slides have been prepared especially for the purpose of bringing to the minds and hearts of the people in the rural communities of this State the Truth, and to awaken them to the dangers that threaten, not Europe alone, but our own hearths and firesides should German Imperialism and German Kultur be allowed to become dominant factors in the world's life.

Teachers, ministers, and other community leaders arc urged by the Department of Extension, representing the Texas State Council of Defense, as a patriotic service in this time of national crisis and sacrifice, to use every opportunity to bring these slides before rural audiences.
