Abstract
AN international conference of teachers to be held, in London on April 22–25 is being organized by the Education Committee of the League of Nations Union. It is intended to re-examine the whole question of ‘peace teaching’ in the schools in view of recent changes in the international situation in Europe and the Far East. The opening session will be in University College and the closing session at Guildhall, where members will be entertained to luncheon in the crypt. Other sessions will be in the London School of Economics and Political Science, and there will be an afternoon reception by the Vice-Chancellor of the University in the Senate House. Among those who will take part in the conference are the Duchess of Atholl, Lord Cecil, Lord Allen of Hurtwood, Prof. Gilbert Murray, Mr. Kenneth Lindsay and Mr. H. G. Wells. The last-named is to speak at a public discussion on “The Teaching of History”. In connexion with the conference, a schools’ poster competition has been organized with the object of advertising the value of the League of Nations and the International Labour Organisation as a means of securing the improvement of social conditions and of human welfare through international action. Further particulars can be obtained from the L.N.U., 15 Grosvenor Crescent, S.W.I.
