Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Education. – in the House of Commons am ar 29 Mai 1924.
I have seen a short Press report of the speech referred to. I am certain that what the majority of the House would like to see impressed upon the mind of the rising generation in our schools is the hope of permanent peace between nations secured under the League of Nations, and not the inevitability of future wars. But I believe that local education authorities have no sympathy with militarism, and therefore that it may safely be left to their discretion to guard against any expression of it in the schools.
