Miss Doris Hough To
Give Training Classes
Anyone Interested in Girl Scout
Organization is Invited
to Join Class
Miss Doris Hough is coming
She will be here November 15,
and the training class for pros
pective Girl Scout leaders will
begin on Monday and will close
on Saturday.
Especially should the Juniors
and Seniors take advantage of
this course; if anyone is plan
ning to be a teacher she will
find as a young college student
that the high school or gram
mar school girls will beg her to
take their troop or organize
troop for them. It is an organi
zation which girls want and de
mand but it can not be started
without previous training on
part of leaders.
Whether a girl teaches
does other work, the high
school girls of the community
which she enters will want her
to help them, so why not be pre
pared?
The classes will be held every
afternoon for a week beginning
November 16. Miss Hough
will make them interesting and
profitable. It is a wonderful
chance to meet and know Miss
Hough, besides the personal ad
vantage in having the training.
Those who wish to sign up
for the course please see Miss
Marion Blair or Miss Elizabeth
Zachary before Saturday, Nov.
14.

America’s Entrance
In The World Court
(Courtesy of the Yale Daily
News)
The political disputes over the
World Court and the League of
Nations have so confused the
issue by discussion of details
that the fundamental reason
why America should join have
been too often overlooked.
1, then, go back to first
principles. I believe that any
one who would forget the bitter
political discussions- and would
devote an hour’s honest thought
to the subject would see that if
America is to do anything to
operate with other nations for
world peace the least w
is to join the Court. There is
much more we can do, but
can scarcely do anything 1
and participate at all in
world-wide effort to prevent
That ancient institution
•hich we call a Court is really
the supreme and basic invention
of all civilization. It is the only
device which has been found to
work to prevent war when quar-
■els became acute. Without it,
civilization itself would soon
:■; in fact, it could never
have existed. It is the Court
'hich everywhere has kept
peace and this has been true
'-widening circles. Even our
humblest Court is that of the
‘Justice of the Peace”.
When people talk loosely,
they so often do, about its be
ing impossible to abolish
they are flying in the face of
history. They overlook the fact
that w'e have already, in spots,
abolished war. We have abolish-
in fact, wherever we
have applied the proper remedy,
that is, wherever we have insti
tuted a strong court. We have
abolished war between indi
viduals, families, cities, states,
and now are abolishing it be
tween nations.
Before the institution of the
Court was devised even indi
viduals settled their disputes
Cain and Abel settled their’
When a dispute becomes acute
not be settled diplo
matically, there remain just two
ways of settling it. One
fight it out, in which case the
stronger man wins irrespective
of the justice of his case. The
other is to referee it, that is to
put it into the hands of a dis
interested third party who is
not so excited or prejudiced and
who is more likely to make a
just decision. That is the funda
mental idea of a Court.
This is a very simple inven
tion and a very old one and the
fact that it has become so
versal demonstrates that
heart man loves peace rather
than war, that he prefers to let
a judge decide rather than to
resort to fighting.
The first Court was the
patriarch, who kept the peace
wilihin the family. The family
was the first “peace ^’oup’
But to keep peace within the
family was not enough,
population gi’ew and families
'ded each other it was
necessary to keep peace between
the families in order that clus
ters of families might live to
gether in a community or vil-
The justice of peace, oi
his equivalent in ancient civili
zation, was the second step in
the institution of Courts.
But it was not enough to keep
the peace within a village. Inter-
dllage war was still possible,
ind in primitive regions, such
IS the Philippines before the
United States entered, there
no peaceful method of set
tling disputes between villages.
The next step was to cluster
the villages into a state, as
Mfssachusetts grew from its
town meetings, and to institute
State Courts to keep the peace
betw'een communities. The next
step was to cluster the States
together into a Nation and to
settle the disputes between the
States by a Supreme Court. Our
Supreme Court has settled
eighty-seven such disputes be
tween our States, and without
the Supreme Court our States
would certainly more than
have been in war. Now the
hour has struck for enlarging
the peace group one stage fur
ther to involve the whole earth
be setting up a Court between
the nations and clustering the
nations into a League.
We might almost describe the
progress of civilization as con
sisting in this gradual enlarge
ment of the peace group from
the family to the community, to
the State, to the Nation, to the
\\'orld. Only the last step has
not yet been full taken and
not be, until the United States
)-operates. When the step
fully taken, when the whole
organized for peace,
when the World Court
authoritative as our Supreme
Court, w’e shall have abolished
1 institution wholly and
forever. Each previous step of
enlarging the peace group has
something outside and,
therefore, was incomplete. Oc
casional war was inevitable.
But when the peace group in
volves the whole earth there is
nothing left outside and the
only war possible is civil
hich by the nature of the case
seldom happens and is out
lawed.
Now at least we have a World
Court with forty-seven
herents and lacking only the
United States to give it full
prestige. Let us not talk about
creating some substitute Court
and let us not pretend that the
so-called “Old Hague-Tribunal’
Court. It is only a list of
names on paper! There never
any other World Court than
the Court of International Jus
tice at The Hague, and the other
nations of the world would never
even consider disbanding that
Court to please those few
United States Senators who talk

absurdly of creating some
thing of their own.
The situation, then, is that a
’orld Court is a fundamental
necessity and that there is only
World Court available.
Moreover, unless or until
America joins the League of
Nations, there is no practical
way in sight f.or our joining the
■Id Cou^t except that which
worked out by Secretary
Hughes and approved by Presi
dent Harding and Coolidge as
ell as supported by the party
platforms of both political par
ties. There is no excuse, there
fore, for making a political issue
out of the Court, and any man
who, like Senator Borah, talks
about repudiating the pai-ty
pledge and refusing to support
President Coolidge is simply
obstruction and nothing me
It is utterly impossible for them
constructively to give us what
fundamentally need in any
other way, but it is possible for
Borah and others
strategic position in the Senate
to obsruct and thwart this most
fundamental project. There
genuine danger that they will do
so unless the practically unani-
approval of the United
States becomes sufficiently vocal.
I believe the students of our
universities, many of whom are
already voters and the rest of
whom will soon become
assert a tremendous influence
with the Senate especially by
writing personal letters to their
Senators and in other ways
bringing to public attention
their support of the World
Court propostiion.
The matter is slated to come
before the Senate on December
17, and in order that any indi
vidual’s influence shall bs
brought to bear in favor of the
Court, it is desirable that the
effort should be made in the
mediate future.
The record of the Court thus
r is good. It already has
authority than our Supreme
Court acquired in the same
space of time. It is not neces-
to argue the question of
the League of Nations, to dis
its various efforts to stop
1 including its most recent
to stop the war betwi
ce and Bulgaria. Nor is
necessary to discuss the Locarno
treaties. These are not the
questions before the Senate .in
December, but the Hughes plan.
Under that plan we can join the
Court without committing our
selves to anything further and
after we have done so we shall
a better position to judge
how much further, if at all, we
•ish to go.
