operation OF all agencies for the col
lection OF historical and social data, es-
pecially for their own communities
there is grave danger that the essential
elements in the vast and intricate So
ciah change induced by the war will
not be registered for the purposes OF
history.
The offer by teachers of history OF
their cooperation is not only a press
ing duty in the interests of historical
science. but also one of the most impor-
tant services that can be rendered TO
the nation. In a time like this. his
with which they deal are too remote
to justify them to engage upon work
for which their specialized training has
fitted them. But by taking initiative
in this distinctly historical task they
can render accessible for immediate
reference data upon which sound pub
lie opinions should be based, and also
stimulate a more intelligent public in
terest in the war itself. through the
very act of collecting these materials.
THE other part of this work-the
ton and the social and political sig
nificance of the wars events to the
peoples being undertaken by us

zines and newspapers, lectures and adj
dresses.
In advocating and urging this work
the board has in mind not only the
preservation of data for the future.

progress in this country. 1t Is desir-

public opinion will be fed on correct
versions of events as they occur, which
is vital to an intelligent prosecution
of the war and an intelligent settle
ment of peace terms: that the next
generation will be provided with such
excellent historical information that it
will be fitted to assume its citizenship
in the world. and that the future his
torian may find the means for treat
ing the war with all possible breadth
of view and in all its varying aspects.

THE board will, in short, be the me-

of obtaining cooperation from the his
torical scholars we have sent out 4
letter to the historical societies Of .he
country asking for their help IN per

at seems clear to us, this letter
says, that if the interests of the stu
dent of history are to be secured, the
various historical agencies of the
societies and libraries. must bestir
themselves to provide for the sys-
temat.c and inclusive collection and
the effective preservation of all kinds
of material serving to record and il
lustrate present events.

itself in different ways to different

E1HE history forces of this country
are mobilizing. History that
future generations will read and

being written daily; events of mighty
significance in the worlds progress are
transpiring.
Historians -men and women who
write the inscriptions on the signposts
that mark the turns in mankind's path
way-realize that they have a great
task to perform in connection with the
present war
They are now planning to collect all
of the data that reveals the influence
and effect of the war, so that its issues
in the future will not be clouded. nor
the researches in the days to come
prove fruitless.
The national board for historical re-
search has been formed with a MEM
bership containing some of the fore
most history students and authorities
in the United States. and it hopes to
make clear to the historians of this
country that their task at the present
time is a vital one, to be performed
conscientiously and thoroughly in the
interests OF humanity.
The board is a voluntary and unoffi-
cial organization. which maintains en-
-
but at the same time it is working in
close cooperation with the committee
on public information and the bureau
of education. 1t was formed as a re-
suit of a conference of history men.
which met at the end of April. upon the
invitation of the department of histori-
cal research of the Carnegie Institution
of Washington.
1t is composed of some ten or twelve
members. who have worked together up
to the present time to formulate def
mite plans for attacking their problem.
The membership includes: James T.
