of geography, national customs, and many details which might never be thought of or found in books. We have succeeded in establishing communication with all the countries which have a Junior Red Cross, informing them of our activities, and we have received numerous replies which have given much pleasure to our boys. The latter are now eager to become better acquainted with the countries of their fellow members, many of whom live in the most distant corners of the earth and speak languages which we sometimes have difficulty in translating. However, by searching out compatriots of our A girls' unit organized in the Centro Escolar República del Paraguay, with Señorita Aráoz as director. foreign correspondents, we have learned what is said in the attractive magazines which they send us. We have sent an album of photographs of the school and the Junior Red Cross and a message to the Chilean Junior Red Cross, improving the opportunity offered by the visit to Chile of students of the Commercial Institute of Peru. The Junior Red Cross in our neighboring Republic responded to our gift by sending pleasing insignia of which our members are very proud. The publicity section is also a very important division. Thanks to the work of the boys belonging to it, we have been able to exhibit in the show cases of the principal shops posters which have been good advertisements for our organization. Furthermore, at the exhibition of school work held on July 28, our national holiday, we showed collections of pictures explaining how to fight certain diseases. The work which proved so beneficial to the students and so effective an aid to the teachers in the school which started it could not remain unknown. Therefore we have been summoned by the school authorities to cooperate in organizing new units of the Junior Red Cross in all Government schools; this is the task in which we are now engaged. Twelve more school units have been started and are as flourishing as the one just described. Although much remains to be done, our progress so far has greatly encouraged us, and we look forward with faith and hope to the future of the Junior Red Cross in Peru. Our ardent wish is that the world of youth may soon count upon one more instrument for the promotion of friendship, mutual assistance, and universal peace.
