will win the and the tat O OWS :xlljranldin Roosevelt, Dooom er, 1942 WAR is now waged by nations, not armies. Now, more than ever before, each one of us needs the power education can give through development of general ideas and specific skills, through stimulation of resourcefulness and powers of leadership. PEACE WILL FOLLUW. And the peoples of the earth must start over to build an enduring society of neighborly humanity. The pattern of that era cannot be left to evolve by chance 5 men of good will, experts in politics, economics, science and education must cooperate in fashioning and perfecting it. And besides experts, there must be plenty of intelligent and tolerant citizens, who will understand and heartily support the initiative of the experts at home and abroad. In our secondary schools today are the students who will be the experts and enlightened citizens of tomorrow. The public schools must carry on now as never before. The students must become aware of and attune to their destiny.-Quotations from Horizons, Oberlin College.

American schools have never lagged behind the nation's action in a time of crisis. Now they are out in front again, not only geared for war as long as the nation must fight but also planning for re- construction when the peace has been won. Since the existence of free schools anywhere in the world depends upon the outcome of the present conflict, all units of the American system of education recognize that they must turn full attention to the war effort and its implications.
