WAGNER Telephone Winn. 991 At the Woman's Club "Education for International Under- standing" was the exceedingly interest- ing subject of the talk given Tuesday afternoon at the Winnetka Woman's club by Madame Ramondt of Amster- dam, Holland. From Madame Ramondt's observa- tion, the smaller countries such as Hol- land and Switzerland have the feeling of internationalism to a greater extent than the larger ones, because, geo- graphically, they are closer to their neighbors. The people of Holland, in addition to their own language, speak German on one side, French on an- other, and English on a third, while the children in the public schools learn the foreign languages at a very early age. In September, 1919, a Conference on International Education was held in Geneva. One of the conclusions of the conference was that the smaller coun- tries were farther advanced in freer education and individual education. The ways in which international under- standing could be promoted were thought to be (1) continuous inter- change of teachers and students, (2) in- ternational correspondence, (3) inter- change of stamps. In Europe education toward interna- tional understanding received a great impetus as a result of the war. Under- nourished children by the hundreds of thousands were sent to the countries where there was more food, and kept there a year or more and then returned to their homes. These children, young people now, see no difference between the young people of other countries an themselves. The Youth Movement which sprung up especially in Europe since the war, arose because of the mutual suffering of the young people during that time. They have banded together for peace and are putting every effort toward the accomplishment of that end. The world has awakened to the fact that it has so much in common, that it is foolish to war, and, in order to be happy, we must be at peace. Instead of thinking and being loyal only to our fatherland, or motherland, we must be to our brotherland, according to Mrs. Ramondt. The hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. F. R. Alexander, Mrs. Thomas Brooks, Mrs. Isador Lang, Mrs. Dorr Price, Mrs. W. W. Shoemaker, and Mrs. Ernst vonAmmon. ANNOUNCEMENTS A Club Institute of the Tenth dis- trict of the I. F. W.
