Excerpt from Train the Brain for Peace or War No young man ever faced a more uncertain or puzzling future than the young man of today. The old ways of life have been abandoned forever. The great war is changing everything. Governments have fallen and more are tottering, millions of men have died and hundreds of millions have been shaken from their accustomed grooves. Whole classes of society have been fired with new ideas and have been accustomed to new needs. War debts have been laid upon the peoples so heavy that to pay them off will change the whole character of industry. Among all the uncertainties that puzzle the young man who is trying to decide what to do in this most uncertain time, one thing is sure: changes are coming - changes that will affect every man, woman and child in the world. Manufacturing is already undergoing a new birth; even now nothing is as it was even a few months ago. Commerce has thrown the old plans to the winds and is working out new ways of accomplishing new ends. War has thrown whole systems of transportation into the melting pot, and it remains to be seen what will come out. What shall a young man or woman do in a topsy-turvy world? How can he prepare himself for the future at a time when the wisest man cannot tell him what the future will be like? The answer is: A broad education has one sovereign value besides its many other values: it prepares a man to meet the unexpected. War times and the strenuous days that are coming after the war are sure to demand the Trained Man. The day of the untrained man ended when the great war began. Nor is there one chance in a hundred that his day - even such a day as he once had - will ever come back. War had no use for him except as a private soldier. But the trained man - the day has passed when he can be wasted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Teaching Peace in the Schools Through Instruction in American History To the observer of important world movements to-day, two antagonistic groups of phenomena present themselves. One has to do with the interests of international peace and good will; the other with the stupendous preparations for war. Such highly civilized countries as England and Germany for example, are imposing overwhelming financial burdens upon themselves in order to build up their armies and navies. To such an extent have jealousy, fear, and suspicion seized them that in wild panic they rush to build Dreadnoughts and other wise increase their fighting strength. The claim is that great armaments are absolutely necessary for the preservation of peace, although it is plain that such preparation invites national bankruptcy. On the other hand, such organizations as the inter-parliamentary Union, The Hague Conferences, and the five hundred peace societies of the world are moulding public opinion in favor of a new international spirit.

Excerpt from The Teachers College and Post-War Reconstruction In time Of war it is wise to prepare for the peace that is to follow. Educational institutions should play an important part in the social, political, economic, and educational readjustments that will inevitably follow the global conflict now in progress. Many domestic issues affecting vitally every citizen Of this coun try demand attention. The manner of their settlement will affect our lives, our welfare, our standards Of living for many years to come. The state teachers college is a leader of thought in the broad field Of general public education. It probably comes in as intimate touch with the intelligent and aggressively thinking people of this country as any other institution. It teaches, leads, develops the ideas Of prospective teachers who go out among the people and have a large part in shaping the ideals and the habits of our people. A few particular fields of instruction in the teachers college are in a favorable position, because of the stress of war activities, to point out at this particular time ways in which our thinking, our habits, and our economy are likely to be readjusted if we are to secure the maximum benefits from our war experience and from the peace after the war is over.
