his subject "What Can the Schools
Do To Improve the Community?"
His lllt'llll1 Wlls "vvnat we would
have the community be, put jfchat
in the schools." He'emphasized the
importance of playgrounds, school
libraries, . vocational courses in
Junior High Schools, the schools
as social centers and teachers, as
rood mixers. The following facts
were fully developed by the speak-er*?(4)
Neighborhoods with pro.

She made smno^remarks to
the school, her remarks wer'e full

misi's in my mind have the slaves

ed by them?
Mechanics having liberated'their
places and they are left in the *
streets and on the highways to
QQ|
ffaze upon, left standing in the .
tracts of the marching civilization,
left to starve by the -wayside. If ^
so their liberation is a mistake.

from which to make them', the application
of stearp to transporta-''
tion has brought us a better and greater
variety of foods?, and has
nel-ped? m material things. The
world has triumphed, ' but the
riumph is discredited by the* last
wax. that destroyed the greater
part of the world's accumulated
r-alue, and swallowed ten millions
>f human lives. The property
loss, and the loss in human lives
cause us to pause and reflect. A
civilization that destroys itself is
not going forward. It is the way
to death.
. If man .is. to turn all wealth, indent
ion and sk;ll of the advanced
men? rrrrfTto fnTo engines of torlure
and destruction, the whole
thing I believe is a failure.
Some people tell us that the war
principles create new ideals and
<et. us new standards. This we
doubt. Certainly the new creations
of war have not led to the
:>1i Tit inn of war. for the clouds of
war ate thick all over the world
today. It is beginning to appear ^
that tin- war settled tiothing, imintivod
nothing as some people
predicted it would.
Civilization came near, to per-n

period from 1014 A. D.vto 1919,
A..J), and it is by no ineans assured
that we have passed opt _1
from the shadow ox death. There
are more hungry people in the
world today than ever before in
its history. There are more people
clothed in fags than at any
time syaco the world began. There
aire more people crying for help
now since the world began. The**"* ?' S
