WHAT VICTORY MEANS

Contributed by AGNES REPPLIER
campaign OF Patriotism Through Ed
ucation)
Il would be well n every American
you'd dispossess his mind OF two pop.
tlar and pleasing fallacies. First. that
he United States took up arms as a
Knight errant TO right the wrongs of
France and Belgium. Second. that our
impressive entrance into the war must
Inevitably. and of itself. decide the is.
sue We are lighting as a free people
Tor our own safety, and We must fight
hard and we'll or suffer shameful
defeat Germany denied us the seas
because she thought we would accept
our fate from her hands. She permits
gerself now profound contempt for
our army. Unframed men with defec
tive ammunition are about as terrible
in her eyes as prairie dogs would be
in ours. She boasts happily that we
will pay her the indemnity which is
essential for her reconstruction
Meanwhile, to make sure OF our
downfall. she plots reasonably in
every state OF the Union. Perhaps. II
she wins the day, she will recompense
such men AZ Senators Stone and La
Toilette. and Mayor Thompson OF Chi
cago. More lifely she will ding them
on the scrap-heap. But loyal Ameri-
cans may well understand that unless
this nation puts forth all its strength.
without reserve. without fatigue. with
aut self-pity; unless we crush the trai-
tors at home. and defeat the enemy
abroad, q bitter future awaits US. At
best, we shall be Inundated, Empower
lshed, and crippled In our foreign
trade for many years to come. At
worst. we shall see In our land the
blazing homes, the ravished women.
the butchered children, the unutterabie
shame and horror which max the

MAKING GOOD CITIZENS
National Security League Would Revo-
Iutionixe Civic Education.


Impressed by a surprising lack OF
individual responsibility I'm the govern.
ment among citizens in ali parts of the
country, which has been startlingiy
demonstrated by the nationwide cam
paign OF Patriotism Through Education
which IL is conducting. the National
Security League is taking steps which
Il hopes will ultimately lead to the rev
authorizing and yitalizing of the en-.
tire civic teaching in the schools of the
United States. This question was one
of the principaI matters considered at
the recent conference of educators held
under the auspices OF the League at the
Bar Association in New York recently.
Carrying out the concensus of opinion
OF the leading thinkers of the country
who attended this conference, the Sc

upon local or upon strictly technical
problems Of education. No consider
able body OF them has been charged
with the duty OF thinking upon tho
educational problems which are dis
tinctly national or upon those, every
day more apparent, which may be
called international. Our decentralized
system, admirable in many regards.
has failed seriously to attack the
greatest side OF public education. the
relation OF the individual to the ma
ton, and to the nations.
after a discussion OF various as
poets Of the problem how to preserve
our decentralized system Of education
and yet face these questions, the dele
gates by unanimous consent instructed
the officers OF the National Security
League to request certain Of our great
colleges and universities to consider

has undertaken the responsibility OF
providing diversion for the men in
the vicinity OF the camps. In carry
ing this out, Mr.. Willys's co-workers
will conduct entertainments OF vari-
Gus kinds in the churches and halls
OF the towns In and near which the
camps are located. These will IN
clude vaudeville and moving picture
shows, vocal and band concerts, etc.
II was brought out at the Washington
conference, however, that In England.
where these recreation facilities
about the training camps were given
a great deal OF attention, that the men
demanded serious diversion as well as
the lighter forms OF entertainment.
Assuming that the experience would
be similar at our training camps. 1t
was decided that there could be no
better method OF providing this than
through speeches TO inform the men
on why they are asked to risk their
lives.
