Abstract
A LEAFLET issued by the League of Nations Union for the assistance of teachers preparing to address their pupils on Empire Day emphasizes the part played by representatives of the British Empire in drafting the Covenant of the League, which is described as a first attempt to apply on a world scale the ideals of democratic government common to the British Commonwealth of Nations and the United States of America. It suggests the possibility of a federation of these and all other democratic States and the sharing of the control of colonial territories and our responsibilities for the development of colonial peoples to full nationhood. The League of Nations Union's arrangements for the summer include: (a) for schoolboys and schoolgirls, ‘Nansen Pioneer’ camps in Devon, Shropshire and Peeblesshire and a summer school at Geneva, and (6) for educational administrators and teachers, a conference to be held partly at Geneva, where members will attend the lectures and discussions of the Geneva Institute of International Relations, and partly at a mountain chalet.
