Education possesses a magic which we cannot afford to despise. What Hitler did to the hearts and minds of millions of young Germans through his grip on the system of public education was a miracle only to those who do not understand how amenable the young are to the influence of instruction and to the ideas sown in their minds. The war will not have been utterly valueless if it teaches the world to divert some of the money which has hitherto been spent on armaments into the channels of education.
