On Saturday Oct 16 another great milestone in Riverdales history was passed On this day the new site overlooking the Hudson was dedicated to education for peace Several prominent speakers honored Rlverdale on that memorable occasion mclud 1ng the dxstmguished General E1senhower All of the orators emphasized the fact that This school must be a peacemaker in a troubled world In effect this statement seems to portray the end towards which Dr Hackett IS striving Although fears and misunderstanding prevail in the world there are occasional rifts in the clouds giving hope that men may some day live together in peace Riverdale Country School which was one of the pioneers 1n the development of the country school movement over forty years ago now proposes to advance education to new usefulness by developing a system of educatlon with a world wide pomt oi view An American World School Riverdales plan IS one way to strlve to place understanding within the reach of some mem bers of the generatlons which will control the fate of tomorrow s world The value of an American World School is not alone or perhaps even chiefly to youths of other lands American stu dents form friendships with students from other countries They learn early those differences in pomt of view and in customs which lie back of much of the m1sunderstand1ng between nations An American World School Riverdale provides a means by which tools of peace knowledge perspective and understanding can be placed 1n the hands of tomorrows generatlon Such a school sets a pattern and offers a demonstration a pilot plant which should spread a world pomt of view among schools every where. Long an American World School Riverdale has precious roots which must be nourished. The development of world edu- cation through such exemplary schools as Riverdale should put the light of understanding rather than the sword in the hands of todays youth and tomorrows men. Education from the world point of view must start in the formative years before prejudices insularism, and nationalism can begin to take root. Youth cannot wait. RIVERDALE - and Education for Peace
