Summary	Office of Donald M. Nelson, Chairman, War Production Board, Washington, D. C.. 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 tomorrw have a unique and glorious opportunity to safeuard the future. To keep America's war plants rolling, we urgently need millions of additional 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, D. M. Nelson.--p. 1.
