"JUSTICE AND MORALITY
MIGHTIER THAN ARMS
DR.. John Mez Tells Parents League
to Instill Love of Peace Into
Children's Minds.

Justice and morality will achieve more
in the end than force and arms" said
DR.. John Mez of the American Peace
Society, in talk last night on Peace
and the Child" before members of the
Parents League of the third division of
public schools. at Wilson Normal School.
DR.. Mez said that education was one
of the prime essentials in defeating war
fare, and that it was the duty of parents
to instill into the minds of children the
love of peace. He said there was moth
ing to be gained by war, and that CO.
operation for peace among the people of
the United States was the factor to be
desired.
I'VE must help one another, and trust
to our better instincts instead of to mill
tary force, which is an active agent of
destruction. I don't believe the United
States should disarm, say. tomorrow, as
do believe in partial preparedness"
The league went on record as adding
another protest against taking the ad-
ministration of the District school sys-
tenn from the hands of the board of edu-
cation and placing it under the direct
control OF the Commissioners. 1t
unanimously adopted a resolution offered
by DR.. l.. i. kabler, chairman of the
board of public health, commencing the
provisions of the present law vesting the
appointment of the members of the board
OF education in the judges of the Supreme
Court of the District
