London, Nov. 11.
the first time, London schools will abolish Armistice Day. calebs Hons in favour of "peace day.
Wide notice has been attracted by the appeal of the London County Council, which has been controlled by labourites since the March 8 elections, urging teachers to devote Armistice and Peace Day to a more, intensive inculcation of anti-war precepts. The Council's circular, however, emphasized that doctrines of peace must be impressed on children throughout the year.
With the lapse of time," the Council's statement declared, "the reality of Armistice Day, 1918, is diminishing, since none of the children remember it, and the same now applies to. a few of the younger members of the teaching staff."
The necessity of leading youth to look to the League of Nations and The Hague Court for settlement of International disputes is emphasized. =United Press.
