Some concentrate on the development of attitudes of appreciation for the cultural contributions the various nations have made; some, thru research and learned activities, seek to increase public knowledge and, thus, understanding of the problems of these nations; others, believing that education for peace is synonymous with propaganda against war, devote their energies to spreading such propaganda. All agencies, thru publications, distribution of materials, and provision for services of one kind or another, are striving toward an enlightened public opinion on matters of international import. By the publication of this directory the Association does not endorse the organizations reported herein, nor does it recommend all materials or services offered. Schools are accustomed to adjusting their programs to trends of opinion in their respective communities. In directing the thinking of young people and adults some teachers will see fit to call upon certain of these agencies for cooperation; in other instances, services and materials of these same agencies would hardly be appropriate. Teachers, administrators, and board members must determine which of the organizations offering cooperation can fill the particular needs of their own communities. The intention of the Asso- ciation is that this handbook should be considered only as an impartial directory. In view of world conditions today there may be some who doubt the appro- priateness of calling attention to agencies interested in international peace. Civilization seems to wobble from one potential catastrophe to another. Yet if the day ever comes when the nations of the earth choose the way of reason rather than that of force it will be thru the constructive influence of education. As educators we must continue to believe in the improvability of mankind. This Research Bulletin should be useful to classroom teachers and to ad- ministrators in their efforts to focus attention of students upon all aspects of international relations. Wivarp E, Givens, Executive Secretary National Education Association shell In face of the aggressive nationalism cur- -ently at work in the world, international rela ‘ons are strained and the threat of war is im- minent. Yet, the educational forces of the United States of America continue to advocate a way of reason—international understanding and cooperation. At the 1938 convention in New York, the delegates to the Representative Assembly of the National Education Associa- tion approved the following resolution: This Association urges all teachers to continue to promote international goodwill. ‘Toward this end the officers are directed during the ensuing school vear to undertake a more active campaign than heretofore thru the National Education Association Committee on International Relations and in co- operation with the World Federation of Education Associations. In conformity with the spirit of this resolu- tion, the National Education Association Com- mittee on International Relations, thru the efforts of the Research Division, has prepared this publication on the services of organizations working for peace and international goodwill. It is hoped that this handbook will fulfil three purposes: to bring to the attention of classroom teachers and school administrators the principal activities of some of the leading agencies and organizations promoting inter- national understanding; to indicate which of these groups supply materials and services di- rectly to teachers and students on an elemen- tary, secondary, or college level; and to de- scribe briefly the specific materials and services so far as such information could be obtained. In order to report accurately the work of organizations, 286 letters and accompanying questionnaires were sent to governmental agencies, business firms, peace societies, pro- fessional and promotional associations, founda- tions, research groups, libraries, and museums requesting detailed information regarding their programs in the field of international relations. In preparing its mailing list, the Research Di- vision relied upon the descriptions of such groups as reported in The Study of Interna- tional Relations in the United States; Survey for 1937 by Edith E. Ware,' and in Part II of the Thirty-Sixth Yearbook of the National ‘Ware, Edith E. The Study of International Relations in the United States; Survey for 1937: American Nationa Introduction Che iol lowing types of organizations were purposely Society for the Study of Education. disregarded except in one or two unusual cases: (1) denominational religious groups, because of their fair sampling could be taken; (2) local clubs great number and because no really or study associations with no materials or sery ices available to persons outside the immediate vicinity; *® (3) special international relations departments and schools directly connected with colleges or universities and offering ma terials and services only to the enrolled student and (5) clubs. body ; (4) foreign service schools: national and _ international service The contributions of the above-mentioned yroups in the field of international goodwill and world cooperation are in no way to be minimized. However, since an exhaustive su vey in this field is virtually impossible, it was agreed that the scope of the handbook exclude such organizations. Nearly two hundred direct responses were received from the letters and questionnaires Several groups included tn the original mailing list were eliminated when their replies indi cated that their work did not fall within the scope of this survey. The data, publications, and descriptions of services supplied by the remaining organizations were studied, inte: preted, and summarized in outlined form. These outlined statements, together with statements regarding an additional number of organizations which were prepared directly from published sources of information on their activities, were returned to the groups for correction. In Part I of the handbook, 174 selected statements appear—150 as approved by the individual organizations, and 24 as originally compiled since the organizations did not avail themselves of the opportunity to check their accounts. For convenience to educators who use this publication, 137 individual groups have been reported in Section A of Part I in alphabetical order according to the following outline: Purpose—Statement of the general objectives of the organization or specific aims in the field of inte: national relations when such were supplied mittee on International Intellectual Cooperation.

Materials supplied to schools—Specific materials which may be used as teaching aids or to interest students or teachers in out-of-school pursuits in the field of international understanding, e.g., motion picture films, lantern slides, posters, textbooks, pam- phlets, descriptive folders, bibliographies, maps, reports of research findings, study outlines, etc. Official publication—Name and information per- taining to the organization’s regular magazine, news release, or bulletin. (In cases where there is more than one such publication an attempt has been made to list the leading periodicals.) Types of service provided—Brief statements of the services of the organization which are of in- terest to educators, e.g., provision for lecturers for school assemblies, information service for letters of inquiry, direct advice by field workers, loan of ex- hibits, traveling library of books and magazines, special services to other groups, exchange fellow- ships or scholarships for students or teachers, travel service, and international correspondence. An effort was made to fit all data pertaining to the selected groups into this outline. Such procedure, however, proved impossible for 37 organizations. In these cases paragraph state- ments were prepared and they have been in- cluded in Section B in separate alpha order. Part II consists of a classification groups reported in Part I, according specific materials and services supplied. |; hoped that this listing will facilitate ¢! of the handbook and will provide read ence for teachers and administrators oo! for particular information. Finally it should be emphasized tha Committee on International Relations js recommending or supporting any grou; cluded herein. No distinction in reporting made between organizations with highly alr; istic purposes and groups with propagandist intent. Furthermore, the statements of groups regarding their own purpose, progran dl ] and materials have been accepted without ob- jective investigation or detailed evaluatio: The Committee has no way of knowing how effectively each organization carries out the activities reported here. If this handbook js used principally as an impersonal, annotated directory of sources of information for teacher, and students interested in the field of inte: national relations, it will serve its great purpose. est 1938, p. 115. UCH is already being done to acquaint pupils with the nature of existing machinery for international relations and with the truths of national history. The contributions of the various races and nations to civilization and culture, the sufferings and moral degradations brought about by war, and the superior value and importance of the arts of peace are subjects considered in many schoolrooms.

Descriptive Statements of Activities and Services of Organizations A. Organizations for Which Relatively Complete Information Was Available Of the 174 organizations selected for the handbook, information for the following 137 was sufficiently complete to be reported in out line form to facilitate use. Except in one o1 wo isolated cases, for each item in the outline definite statements could be made. All 137 organizations do not offer materials or services of interest to students or teachers, but where such services are not available a positive state- ment to that effect has been included. Organizations which did not avail them selves of the opportunity to check and approve the statements of their activities are marked with asterisks. 1.

Merely to urge peace oversimplifies the » 69 ‘ - ‘ ; ; ‘ nee 122 problem. Words, and even attitudes, will not maintain peace. There must be, 163 : a ‘ ; in addition to these, such actual world cooperation and such methods of adjust ing differences that war is unthinkable. Hence, acquaintance with the machinery by means of which nations seek to maintain world peace and actual experience in cooperation with others-—appropriate to the age level of the pupils con cerned—are essential aspects of education for world citizenship.—Committee 124 on International Relations of the National Education Association, Promoting 142 ; : : . 4 International Cooperation thru Education, p. 7. 39 71 119, 4 46 114 65 61, tes 54 we © Ne ana or Na | INDEX Organization Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, The Academy of Political Science, The®........................

C. © THOSE who look back upon the period that has § wtih since the World War and see only failure in the attempts to develop international understanding, to those who view the conditions that confront the world today with greater misgivings than in 1914, and to those who refuse to admit that any progress has been made in the control of world affairs because they can point to the disregard of pact after pact, and to the nullification of one treaty after another, it may seem paradoxical even to consider the possibility of education for international umderstanding.* Yet it would be a confession of defeat to acéept the renewed aggressive nationalism and the overworked armaments factories as the situation that man must tolerate as normal for all time. If this were true, then life would, indeed, be again “‘ magty, : brutish and short.” In reality the very danger with h . the world is today menaced is itsélf a challenge to study the situation and to profit by the mistakes that have been made in the past two decades.—I.
