ISN’T 01 ji METHOD WRONG? e We feel that the majority, of the people of the United States, and every other count*- for that matter, really hast poace( The world has had enough war so show its horrors and in most instances its uselessness, and we are giving much thought now to the problems that will brinfe world peace. But are we going about it in the right way? fl e are trying to convince the grown-ups of today that war is wrong .but what are we teaching the youngsters, who will be the grown-ups of tomorrow? Aren't we glorifying war instead of con demning it? In our histories of war do we men tion the horrors that accompany and fol low war? We do not. We point with pride to tile deeds of the heroes, but we have little to say of the horrors brought out during and after the conflicts. In other words we paint war in colors that are too beautiful. The Greensboro News is of the opinion that the revelations of what was done with money appropriated for the veter ans’ bureau is au example of one horror of war. The News says such revelations were expected, declaring flurther that “there is not a country that engaged in the recent conflict in which vultures have not settled over the battlefields to prey iilion the disabled. There never was a country that eveu engaged in a war in which this unlovely human characteristic failed to show up prominently.” The News then condemns our present system of teaching history, declaring ‘'it ■is the crime of our method of teaching history that this revolting part of the phenomena of war is almost invariably passed over lightly, if it is touched at all. How many school children ever learn, for instance, that during our own revolutionary war the British armies were constantly supplied by American farmers, aud not altogether Tories, eith er, but professed Whigs as well? There is in t existence a re)iort of a British commanding officer, made to his own government, tliat describes how tlie dwell ers on Staten Island and along the Jer sey shore rowed boats for miles in order to bring provisions to the British fleet lying off New York harbo-. simply be cause the Britishers paid well. Indeed, Lord Cornwallis after the battle of Guil ford Courthouse wrote that many of the inhabitants of the countryside came into liis camp voluntarily, shook hands with him. and said that they were glad that he lmd arrived. ■' ... 3 “it*; the Mexican war the sickening story;(of profiteering at the expense of a suffering country was repeated. In the War between the sections the thing grew to astounding proportions on both sides; aud for a generation and a half after' the war pension scandals increased in number aud in stench steadily and rapidly. Who has forgotten the, ‘em balmed beef’ of the Spanish-American war, or the cheese-cloth raincoats that were supplied to our army in France in 1918? “But are school-children taught that these scandals are an inevitable accom paniment of war? Is it even hinted that ‘fresh and glorious war’ is. the greatest upd most effective breeder of thievery and I all forms of rascality that the genius of hell has ever iuvented? Is it ao much as suggested to future citizens at their most impressionubie age that for every hero that war produces it hatches a hundred villains? “Yet the battle of the Argonne is not as significant iu our national history as the five gears’ unsuccessful battle against native seoundrelism that bas filled the i time since the armistice. Tim capture of Cantiguay is not to- be compared fori importance to the looting of the Veter-1 ass Bureau, for the school children of the J present will in all likelihood never have to pght the foe that held Cantiguay, while they will be compelled every day of their . active lives to struggle against the eue r mies of the republic who stole the vet r , _ erans money. “In warning children against the hard { ships, danger and horrors of war we pro a ceed upon the theory that human cour age has some ascertainable freezing -1 point, whereas if the great war taught » anything at ah, it taught that the aver age man has, at need, a sublime careless ness of life. The ardent spirit of the young boy resiionds to glory as to noth . irig else. If he is to be definitely turned s against war, he must be made to see that war is composed of foul shame, ■ whose murk is lighted only at rare and 1 distant intervals with pin-points of light, ' shed by the splendor of heroic deeds. The , [ smashing of the Hindenburg line was a | I less perfect example of what war really , | means than the smashing of the Veterans’ i Bureau. Sergeant York was not a prod- i | uct of war at all. but of long years of 1 peace, daring which he had drilled into | him those principles of honor and hou- J ■ esty, and that fear,of God that casts out j ■ all other fear, which combined to make j him a hero at the crucial moment. The ’ war did not produce York. It merely revealed him. The typical product of war is the unspeakable Forbes. “ 'The paths of glory lead hut to the grave’ is a misstatement, if the paths of glory lead .through a war. In that case they lead but to the penitentiary, if jus tice is done.” ONE KILLED AND SEVEN INJURED Crowd Attending Meeting at Haw River Bun Into by Automobile Driver. Haw River. Nov. 3.—Miss Ruth Hip py. 13. daughter of M. R.
