Voboril) I would rather think of my country as a great world influence for good Ilian to think of it as one of the great powers. The power of a country is fairly well indicated by the amount of taxable property, the extent and vari ety of natural resources, and the in ventive genius and scientific achieve ments of its people. It is fine to have all these things in abundance, ami surely the United States is blessed in these respects above all other nations . If we use these things for self-aggrandizement, if we fail to establish ourselves in the world as a great influence for good, we will become as sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. During this uiontfi probably twenty millions of children will he gathered into our greatest national industry— the public schools—-that they may re ceive that training which will enable them as men and women to assume the duties and responsibilities of American citizenship. American citizenshp! How the term expands as our wealth and population increase, as our natural resources are dcevloped, as trade lines grow shorter and communication witli all ports of the earth becomes easier. All citizen shp is fast becoming a world citizen ship. A League of Nations is inevit able. This will be a huge incorpora tion of all peoples of the earth for ad vancement of the welfare of all man kind. There will be no exploiters and no one will be exploited. Citizens of all countries have one thing in common—they are for the most part provincial. I do not know whether Germany was the most pro vincial of all nations or not. It may he that her provincialism has been bet ter advertised than that of other coun tries, hut I am sure that had the Ger mans had a more cosmopolitan outlook upon the world, there would have been no world war, because they would have seen the inevitable end and would have abandoned the enterprise, if not on the grounds of its gross immorality, at least as being impractical. Americans are no exception. The term “Dago,” “Chink,” “Sheeny,” and “Polock,” so commonly used in our country, serve only to emphasize our own provincialism. The public school, the sole function of which is to train for citizenship, should not intensify, but rather erad icate the last trace of provincialism in American life. No school in the world is superior to the public school in this country. The most hopeful thing about our public school is that the men and women who are administering it make no claim as to its perfection. Great as it is, the American school is ssueeptible to much improvement. Two subjects are taught in our schools that require most careful thought. One is history and the other is geography. Most children when they finish American history, are ready to go to war with England. What we, as citizens of the United States need to know most is what England is now. England’s contribution to human lib erty should be emphasized—the Magna Charta, trial by jury, the writ of ha beas corpus, the suppression of human slavery and the like. Burke’s address should he read with the story of the execution of Nathan Hale, Recently I read an article from the pen of an Englishman in which he says that the most British thing the Ameri cans ever did was to take up arms against George 111. Our geography lays too much stress upon the idiosyncracies and peculiari ties of foreign peoples. The boy in school learns that the Chinese are heathen, that they eat rats, that they wear queues, that the women bind their fci 1. When he reaches man’s estate he finds himself confronted with this ques tion; Shall Shantung be returned to the Chinese or shall it become a Japanese province? Really it is a much broader question than this. The question he is called upon to decide is really this: Shall the Chinese empire be broken up and its territory be divided among the other nations of the earth? It seems to me that the things that the boy learned about China in his geography lesson form a very poor basis upon which to rest his judgment. What he should be taught in geog raphy is the real world value of every country and of every people. Me should learn what each country has contributed to the general happiness of mankind. A nation that lias given to the world silk, tea, paper, printing, rice, gunpowder and the mariner's compass, is probably worth preserving. \s the world value of different coun tries and different peoples breaks in upon the consciousness of the child, his provincialism begins to fall away him. His interest in and sym pathy fur all mankind increases. Mis one desire is co-operation. When our country reaches this attitude of mind the position of our country as a great world influence will he fully attained. To my way of thinking no other occu pation has greater responsibilities or greater opportunities for service than l< aching. Hut if school teachers are to measure iqi to the full possibilities of the service, they must do some very clear thinking about what they are do ing and why they are doing it.
