Excerpt from Side Lights on the War: For Upper Grades and High Schools It is dawning upon all school authorities, and especially upon those who make the courses of study, that since this World War stands mountain high above all other events of history it must have a large and growing place in the school program. The problems of today and the magnificent way in which they are being solved constitute the most vital and stimulating material that can be put in the hands of teachers and pupils. The school boys of today are the men of tomorrow who must face the questions of the reconstruction period. Let us spend a little less time with Caesar and Napoleon and a little more with the great leaders of today with their triumphs and problems. The object of this book is to make many of these. Present questions clear and put them into convenient form for discussion in the class room. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
