Abstract
THE Education Committee of the League of Nations Union has been meeting for some years and initiating and advising methods for making international questions and an international spirit a more integral part of ordinary school and college work. It is largely through the activity of this committee that teachers as a profession stand so firmly by the League of Nations. Meetings and conferences are arranged, lecturers sent out and publications of various kinds issued from time to time. Of the latter, a brochure has just appeared (to be obtained from 15, Grosvenor Crescent, S.W.I, price 4d.) on “Geography Teaching in relation to World Citizenship”. It is edited by Prof. J. F. Unstead with the help of a number of London teachers of geography and others, and will be approved by all engaged in similar work. The subject has always been regarded in schools as more obviously international than history, and for that reason much of what is said in the pamphlet will appear somewhat commonplace. But there is no objection to enforcing emphatically some of the great commonplaces of human life and thought. It is useful to have set out clearly and in sufficient detail (as here) the main aspect of the inter-relationship of land and people and of the various peoples among themselves throughout the world.
