Education, then. is the first, though
not the most important, step. Igno-
rance is big part OF barbarism. Peo-
pies who cannot read or write or think
clearly. like the wild tribes of Africa,
are fighting each other all the time:
The higher and purer the education of
men the more clearly the wickedness
and folly of war are seen. 1t may be
said that knowledge certainly has
large power among some of the ma
lions now fighting.
In answer we may question whether
that knowledge has been made untver.
whether it has been broad enough. It
is only recently that economics and
sociology have been studied, and as
yet they. are in their infancy because
so largely theoretical. The real good
and the real brotherhood of mankind
have not been so impressed upon the
minds Of our young people that they
can see how we are dependent one
upon another and how we are to serve
one another. How many of the millions
who are now in battle array or who.

anything about the real welfare of ma
, tions. the secret of true national pros

fault hunter 10 unknown. One does not
hunt for unpleasant and disagreeable
things to be applied to himself.
The fault hunter never discovers his
own faults.
A wise heather said: Every man
carries two wallets with him, hanging
the one before and the other behind
him. Into that before he puts the
faults Of others; into that behind he
puts his own. BY this means he never
sees his own failings. while he has
those Of others always before him."
It may be true, according to the
proverb, that ''the best friends We have
In the world are tho spies Of our
actions, who publish our faults" but
the spies are none the less despicabls.
