The slogan "Happy Childhood the World Over" sets this poster apart from the war-era appeals that share its board, since it recruits children rather than soldiers or donors. The American Red Cross created the Junior Red Cross in 1917, while the United States was fighting in World War I, to put schoolchildren to work on wartime needs such as knitting, sewing, and making bandages. The program soon shifted toward health, service, and international friendship, and the idea that children everywhere shared the same hopes is worth noticing in the poster's wording.
