Abstract
AN appeal on civics, recently issued by the Parents Association, copies of which are obtainable from Miss Voigt, 37 Vine Lane, Hillingdon, Middlesex (5d., including postage), suggests that two of the most insistent problems confronting parents are how to win physical and political security for our children and for future generations, and how to teach our children to fight more successfully against the innate tendencies towards barbarism which recent history has revealed so clearly in the human mind, and thereby to achieve a civilization far more just, public-spirited and high-minded than ours has recently been. In regard to the first, the circular urges that it is our duty as parents to bring up a hardy race of children, trained and disciplined for defensive war until really reliable machinery has been created for making war impossible in future. In face of the tremendous external dangers which have always existed, though not fully realized, children should not be brought up to the rather soft and easy life which has been usual in western Europe in recent generations, since peace, no less than war, needs strength and discipline.
