izations were facing one another over European trenches, a rural teacher wrote for information that would help her school debate the question whether Washington was a greater man than Lincoln! Such obliviousness to the school's opportunity and obligation is not limited to one small school.

Children and other non-combatants are sharing not only war's excitement and emotion, devotion and hero-worship, but also its sacrifices, its fears and its horrors.

Where information or lack of information has such far reaching effects it is unfair and dangerous to leave to accident what children and college students learn about war issues, war steps, war needs, war dangers and peace aims.

No nation, not even our own, can afford to run the risk of having millions of homes misinformed and confused with regard to this war's main issues.

This summary of war facts is issued in the hope that it will be helpful not only in civics classes but in the hands of teachers and principals in conducting any class in any subject or in making patriotic use of assembly exercises.
