# Earn money each week for War Bonds

Cover of the Schools at War teachers' bulletin, April 1944: a blue minuteman silhouette in a ring of stars on a flag, a drum in the foreground and a clock near midnight. The headline asks pupils to earn money weekly for War Bonds. Flag, minuteman and drum transfer patriotic feeling to bond buying, and the stars and flag lean on glittering generalities.
