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.

EDUCATION - II-IE WAY IO A LASIINO PEACE SECOND PLACE ESSAY - In the days of the caveman, people resorted to fighting with crude weapons as a means of obtaining possession of any land or material they wanted. As time passed, these men advanced from their uncivilized ways to a higher plane of living. Greater knowledge of science, government, human nature, and the fine arts had to a large extent helped to bring about this advancement. But has government advanced to the great extent that science has? It is my opinion that it has not. If society had advanced with science there would be no war and disagreement, people would have learned to control their emotions. I think that civilization will have to be educated before it obtains the position science has already reached. To a great extent the responsibility of educating the world today rests with the schools. It is through the teaching in the school that children, when they are studying about other nations and people, form their opinions of these people and develop either a broad out-look and Want to help others, or develop a feeling of contempt and wish to isolate themselves from them. It is the responsibility of the school to help educate the young people of the world to use their knowledge of science to better humanity, not to conquer and destroy it. Because of the many different peoples who have settled here from Europe, Asia, and other places in the world, America is known as the Melting Pot of the world. These peoples brought with them their different ideals, temperaments, and customs, thus giving America the advantage to lead the world to a higher standard of living because of the added understanding she has of other nations. Though America is a rich country materially she is not as far advanced in educational facilities as she might be. With the added advantages of different abilities, ideals, and temperament of the peoples who make up this great country, Americans should do their utmost to raise this educational standard. I believe it is the right and duty of every young American to seek education and to train himself to as great an extent as possible in order that he might do his part to bring civilization to a higher plane. Through education alone, though it may be slow and need the full cooperation of every individual, can a peaceful world be established. I believe it is the duty of every young person to develop his character and his mind to the fullest extent in order that another war might be avoided and lasting peace obtained. We should all heed the words in one of President Wilson's speeches: My urgent advice to you would be, not only always to think first of America, but always, also, to think first of humanity. You do not love humanity if you seek to divide humanity into jealous camps. Humanity can be welded together only by love, by sympathy, and by justice, not by jealousy and hatred. Is it not time to put aside weapons of war and teach the doctrine of lasting peace? BETTY JOHNSON, MCCLOUD HIGH SCHOOL. THE AMBUSI-I FIRST PLACE STORY Old Dan Kirby paused for breath. The mountainside was steep and Dan wasn't as young as he used to be. He leaned against a tree and gazed OH: across the valley where he could see the sun rising over the timber clad hills to the east. He hummed a tune as he started off up the trail again, his long mountaineefs stride carrying him swiftly toward Granite Plateau which towered over him a few miles in the distance. He had good reason to be happy. Today was the opening day of hunting season and before the day was over he would have bagged the biggest buck in the county. The prize he was after was Old 22
