Foreword The Peace Pipe, symbol of faith and good will when passed around the council fire, ruled a life much different from our present existence. Then a feather torn from the pipe and thrown on the earth— symbol of war— meant the opportunity for a few braves to achieve greater glory as warriors, or to gain more worldly possessions: also it meant a few would die. Today a broken feather would be quite different; there is doubt that there would ever exist another council fire at which to smoke the pipe. for a war today endangers the existence of mankind. So we, the warriors of tomorrow, are trained for peace, just as the Indians were trained for war. We study math, science, history and foreign languages that we might not only keep our nation strong, but help secure democracy ' s blessings lor all mankind. Peace, eternally sought, musl now In eternally se ured if mankind is to continue to exist on earth.
