Sinopsis
Excerpt from Our Country's Call to Service
A few men - but only a few - understood the lessons of history. They recalled how Demosthenes urged the Greek city states to join together in defense of their freedom against an aggressive dictator. They cheered when Winston Churchill made his appeals for the unity of the democratic states in 1935. They were not deluded by the wish ful thinking of the appeasers. Had the understanding of these few been more gen eral, more vivid, and more influential among the rank and file of the people in the democracies the issue would have been joined 4 years ago. The democracies, small and large, would not have waited for ruthless tribal leaders to carry out their threats on one people after another to be convinced that the nature of dictatorship does not change. There need then have been no question of our coming too late with too little in the defense of freedom.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Our Country's Call to Service
Much material has already appeared that helps to answer this question and to define the relation of the school program to total national defense. Plan ning a constructive program of service in a critical situation is always difficult. Any emergency demands unbiased judgment, careful planning, and quick but not precipitate action. Hasty, unthinking steps will Often bring confusion. Ready acquiescence to special pressure groups will lead to distortion of objectives. Unless guarded by reason, patriotic enthusiasm will produce disastrous results in the very program which is aimed at national defense.
