Excerpt from Victory Corps Series, 1942-3 Each succeeding day drives home the realization that our country faces a long and arduous struggle. April's easy Optimism has paled. The Nazis have not collapsed from within. Nor have they exhausted themselves upon the vast Russian battlefields. Japan entrenches in Asia. Autumn presents the American people with cold stark facts. This war will be a hard war; a war demanding every ounce of energy and sacrifice and devotion we can muster. It will hardly be won before the end of 1943 or 1944. It may continue till 1945 or 1946. It may ultimately require an armed force of men. It is probably only a question of time, there fore, before public demand forces amendment of the Selective Service Act to take young men 18 or 19 years old for military service. We are engaged in a war for survival. This is a total war - a war of armies and navies, a war of factories and farms, a war of homes and schools. Education has an indispensable part to play in total war. Schools must help to teach individuals the issues at stake; to train them for their vital parts in the total war effort; to guide them into conscious personal relationship to the struggle. Students in the Nation's secondary schools are eager to do their part for victory. To utilize more fully this eagerness to serve, to organize it into effective action, to channel it into areas of increasingly critical need, the National Policy Committee recommends the organization of a Victory Corps in every Ameri can high school, large or small, public or private. The Policy Committee urges the organization of the Victory Corps as a high-school youth sector in the all-out effort of our total war, a sector manned by youth who freely volunteer for present service appropriate to their experience and maturity, and who earnestly seek preparation for greater opportunities in the service which lies ahead.
