November 21, 1925 WINNETKA TALK 19 FIND PEACE IS GOAL SOUGHT WORLD OVER Foreign Students at Kindergarten College Tell Views at Armistice Program An unusual Armistice Day celebra- tion was held by the students of the National Kindergarten and Elementary "college last week. The student coun- cil had charge of the program, and at their suggestion the student represent- atives of five foreign countries, who are attending the college this year, were asked to give their views as to the best means of making permanent the peace brought by the Armistice Day of 1918. Miss Penka Kassabova, from Bul- garia, told a little of the meaning of war to the women of her country-- not the glory of battle but ceaseless drudgery and toil to eke out the most meagre existence. "Bulgaria does want peace, but because she is in the midst of warring countries it is difficult to have peace without being contin- uously over-run. We form peace so- cieties and do all we can and some day we will have peace." Miss Jane Gdulewicz, from Poland, said that in America she had learned "much more about what peaceful feel- ings one country could have toward another. During the war we were cold, we were hungry, we had no clothes--and then peace was signed and you from America came helping us. And the Polish nation is thankful to your nation for all it has done--and that makes for peace." Wants World Court Dagne Aquist from Sweden was present but was unable to express in English her ideas on the subject of peace. Vera Hunt from the Barbados told of the joy 'in all parts of the British Empire over the declaration of peace, and the hope that through the world court or some other means it might be made permanent. Dora Brown, from Canada, said that Can- ada's appreciation of peace is shown in the fact that she has changed her day of national thanksgiving from the last Monday in October to Armistice Day, November 11, or the Monday nearest that day. "It is a day of thanksgiving, not only for the harvest but for peace, and so Armistice Day is dear to the hearts of our people." Ruth Hardy of Chicago, suggestec the part which the students, as future teachers, might have in making world peace a reality. "There is no greater menace to a civilized country than war-mindedness, and if 'peace -n earth' is to function we must bring some in- fluence to bear upon the thought pro- cess. This phase of world peace is an educational one and must be based up- on an understanding and appreciation of the people of other lands. War has always been part of the training of children, and if we can change this in- terest in war and military heroes and false patriotism into a constructive in- terest in those things which make for the progress of the world, we may be able to form peace habits which will establish a firm foundation for world wide peace."
