school children of tho world bo com
mitting to memory tho proamblo of
the constitution of the League of Na

"We, the people of tho United

fect union, establish justice, promote
tho general wdlfare, provide for I lie
common defense and secure tho bless

posterity, do ordain and establish
this constitution of the United States
of America."
Ask your little boy or girl to re
peat it for you. It is dollars to dough
nuts thoy can do it and correct us u
we are wrong in quoting it.
In a few years thoy will bo able
to quote the following Just as glibly
as thoy can quote the above, and not
only them but also their younger
brothers and sisters.
"In order to promote international
co-operation and to achieve interna
tional peace and security by the ac
ceptance of obligations not to resort
to war, by the prescription of open,
just and honorable relations between
nations, by the firm establishment of
understandings of international ,law
as the actual rule of conduct among
governments, and by tho maintenance
of justice and a scrupulous respect
for all treaty obligations in the deal
ings of organized peoples with one
nnntlmr. the lileli contracting parties
agree to this covenant of tho League
of Nations."
