Gray subjects of especial interest
BY MARY GRAY
Last issue we discussed the menace and cost of
militarism. What we women, going to do
about it? It is every woman's duty, just as it is
every mans, to help by voting only for ofceseekers
who are pledged to end war.
But women have duty above that of man, in
training the minds of the next generation that
there will be wars Did you ever read the his
tory of the United States that is taught your chill
dren at school and notice that threefouths Of the
book is story of battles and wars, in which the
United States is pictured always right and al
ways victorious? Did you ever stop to think that
the children of every other nation also studying
histories, principally about wars, and that these
histories represent their countries always right
and always victorious? And that because so much
space is given to and battles every child is led
to believe that they the most important things
in the world?
When your child gets on to high school and starts
to study Latin he is given Caesars story Of the
Gallo wars to translate instead Of the work of
Roman philosopher student. Every effort
of education today seems to be planned for the
benefit Of the muntion makers.
Why shouldn't we, women have something
to say about what children are taught in the
schools, and that their training is meant to fit
them for world at peace, rather than for world
at war?
