this about? By cultivating the habit of acting justly and in a friendly spirit; by respecting the different races and nationalities in their midst; by studying the marvelous things already accomplished by the peoples working together; by coming into personal contact with children of other lands, either by story-reading or by correspondence. (This latter can be arranged through the American School Peace League if the teacher has no access to foreign correspondence.)

4. Fraternal union. The crowning world ideal is a union between all the members of the family of nations where law and justice rule in place of force and warfare, in which the smallest and largest nation shall be on the same terms of equality before the law of nations. How can we help to bring about this greatest of all political triumphs? By realizing the great benefits we have received through the union of

our forty-eight States under the American Constitution; by holding firm to the principles of our forefathers in establishing peace and justice; by realizing that international federation is truly an American ideal, that our greatest statesmen have championed it and that the world looks to us to lead in the realization of this ideal.

In what ways does the Federation of the States of our Union prefigure the Federation of the World? In answering, think of the duties and powers of our National Congress and our Supreme Court in comparison with the duties and powers of an International Congress and an International Court.

Our population is made up of people from many other nations. What advantage does this fact give the United States in its international relations?

In what other ways has the United States an advantage over the Great Powers of Europe in taking a firm stand for the advancement of international peace and good will?
