She established a Natural Educational Center in the most important European countries and these countries will send delegates to a great International meeting In London on July 16th, 1923, The United States wlll'be represented, not as merely official observers, (as our present brand of politician* call any American man sent to a European conference), hut as un tiring workers to bring about a real “League for Peace." Through the education for peace of the children of the world the International Natural Education association alms to eradicate the destructive lend to war and to establish conf structive thought power leading to peaco and progress. It alms to eradicate tho causes of war and to sow seeds In the minds of tho world’s children that will tend towards self control, kindness, health, beauty, peace and progress throughout the world. The International. Natural Edu cational Association alms to stamp out War’s causes through better understanding of ono nation with another. This It hopes to accom plish through tho adoption by all nations of a secondary language, as an international medium of communication, a language to bo taught in all the schools of the world. With the acceptance of such n language by world leaders—It will bring about universal understand ing through teaching the world’s children the same songs, the same games, tho same high Ideals. The International Natural Edu cational Association alma to es tablish parqnt training, schools in every part of the world from In struction In the care of children along spiritual mental and phy sical lines’, and for the fostering of genius. That will be a wonderful gath ering in London, for’ many of the great educators of the world meet together to discuss natural Edu- aatlonal methods and future peace through the education for peace of little children.
