Excerpt from Educational Organizations Promoting International Friendship, Vol. 4 It is preparing a course Of study on Good Citizenship which Will provide material for teachers Of all grades Of the elementary schools and will Show the application Of the principles Of good will from the playground to Hague Conferences. At the Mohonk Conference Of 1905 Dr. Daniel C. Gilman initiated a movement for the introduction Of peace propaganda into colleges and universities. He affirmed that the Opinions brought out there at the Mohonk Conference are those that ought to be carried by an organized effort into all the colleges and universities Of the land. If, he said, you can get one-tenth Of the enthusiasm that-the young men bestow upon the athletic field directed to the study. Of these great international questions, the victory is ours. I would have the educated young men and women Of our country grow up breathing the air Of international arbitration as freely and as naturally as they do the air that supports their life. The correspondence with colleges was carried on for some years by the corresponding secretary Of the Conference, Mr. H. C. Phillips Of Mohonk Lake. This com mittee incited about 2 50 colleges and universities to the commemora tion Of Peace Day, - May 18, - to the giving Of special lectures on the peace movement, or to arrangements for debates or contests Of vari ous kinds, prizes having been offered in some colleges. Hon. Andrew D. White, in submitting the report in 1909, called attention to the special donation by Mr. John R. Lindgren Of Chicago of $2 to be Spent in Northwestern University in educational work to promote international peace; also to the publication by the Carnegie Institu tion Of Research at Washington Of a series Of the great classics Of international law, which, when complete, are to be placed in the library Of each important college and university in the United States. Said the honored speaker, We want to work this idea Of arbitra tion into the very warp and woof of American thought; and there is no better way than through the colleges and universities Of the land. His recommendation was that a lecturer be provided to give Special addresses on the subject in various institutions.
