How the lessons of the great war
may be taught in the school room is
told in Teachers Leaflet No. /, on
Opportunities for History Teachers"
just issued by the United States
Bureau of Education of the Depart.
ment of the Interior, for distribution
to teachers of history throughout the
United States.
That the American teacher of his.
tory is this year planning his work
under conditions at once preplexing
and inspiring, is the Bureaus state
ment in announcing the new work. In
its appeal to teachers the Bureau
says:
The nation has finally been drawn
into great war, war which demands
for its successful prosecution not only
efficient and courageous service in the
army and navy, but also the loyal CO.
operation of millions OF men and
women who are not enrolled in the
fighting forces nor directly responsible
for the civil administration on which
those forces depend.
First of all comes the duty of keep
ing, for teacher and pupil, the habit OF
at least trying to see things as they
really were and are This is not easy
at any time. 1t is peculiarly difficult
at such time as this, when too many
people believe a slight distortion of
facts may be patriotic duty. In the
long run loyalty to the country as well

as loyalty to history are best served
by looking facts squarely in the face.
The training of young people and
of the parents through the pupils to
take an intelligent part in the decision
of public questions is important
enough at any time, but it is peculiar.
ly SO in this war whose meaning for
the individual citizen is not SO easily
brought home. In 1923 and 1927, when
the Monroe Doctrine was under dis
cussion, Daniel Webster referred to
the people who thought the Americans
had no interest in the European sys.
tenn of mutual insurance for heredi.
tary rulers against popular move
ments. What, they said. have We to
do. with Europe? The thunder.tit may
be said, rolls at a distance. The wide
Atlantic rolls between US and danger;
and, however others may suffer, we
shall remain safe. Webster's answer
20 this question was strikingly similar
to some of the utterances of President
Wilson: I think it is sufficient
answer to this to say, that we are one
of the nations of the earth. We have
as clear an interest in international
law as individuals have in the laws Of
society," That was said long before
the steamship, the submarine, and the
wireless had broken down still further

fighting for our rights but over and
above those special rights Of our own

There used to be a tradition that 1t

that showed 1t cost lots of money, AMI

The high cost of living has routed
the silly theory that the sensible
Christmas present is looked upon as
an insult On the contrary, it is the
only one for which we ever get any
thanks that ring with sincerity. There
fore, have no hesitation in sending
Sally the coat that she needs, or John

gloves and handkerchiefs and silk
stockings indiscriminately among the
women of your acquaintance. They

ing them.
And there is one cardinal rule in
Christmas giving that never fails:
When in doubt send money. That
gives the happy recipients a chance to
crafty their own taste. and saves you
from the trouble of having to pick out
the gifts and the donors from having
to lie about pretending to like gift
that they loathe. Finally, beloved,
remember it is more blessed to give
than to receive. Especially at war
