EDUCATION - Tl-IE WAY TO A LASTING PEACE FIRST PLACE ESSAY The termination of the war came sooner than expected.. Many plans were incomplete. This makes it all the more necessary that we concentrate our minds and efforts immediately on the ways and means of making this peace a lasting one. The success of the United Nations Organization, established to maintain a secure and lasting peace, is dependent upon the further development of public interest in its aims and functions. This task falls to education and will be accomplished through giving instruction in schools and colleges, through greater parental and religious influence on youth, and by forming a favorable public opinion through the press, books, radio, speeches, and films, in short, by the stimulation of common sentiment and loyalties. But even this isn't suflicient. Today we are thinking in world terms. A lasting peace is dependent upon the education of all peoples of all the world. With education as a direct function of the U.N.O., this could be accomplished. After World War I, plans were made concerning an International Commission on Education but upon the rejection of the proposed League of Nations, such plans fell through. Political leaders failed to act decisively on education as a vital factor in the peace settlement, thus education took second place. The final result was a war more destructive than ever before experienced. Science has made it imperative that man live in peace, if he is to live at all. Education is most certainly the answer. With a permanent agency for international education established, the peoples of all nations would be enlightened as to the meaning, obligations, and responsibilities involved in peace. Knowledge, teachers, and students would be exchanged between countries and illiteracy wiped out. Understanding the educational and social problems of other countries would strengthen our relationship with them and exchange of scientific Hndings and liberal arts would be beneficial to all mankind. The ideas of aggression and race superiority would be rejected and, in their stead, ideals of international co-operation for human progress without war would be advanced. If people are to exist in a peaceful society, education can not take a second place. It must be our prime consideration. Only when education is considered foremost by our world leaders will the cherished goal of peoples for centuries-lasting world peace-be realized. ELEANOR BEATTY, MOUNT SHASTA HIGH SCHOOL.
