| The article we published here recently about the way an
Eau Claire teacher transferred the interest of her small pupils from the
more violent kind of war games to a real interest in geography and in
the places and personages in the news prompted this comment from a
reader in Menomonie.
She wrote: "Every vacant lot now has become the scene of an invasion. Also, I fear much valuable shrubbery is a hiding place for commandos. And the way those youngsters can simulate the rat-a-tat of a machine gun and the whine of a bullet would put a sound-effects man to shame! "Perhaps we discuss the war too much in their hearing, for it does dominate the conversation in most homes. But if we should have compulsory military training after the war, as seems probable, may it not make that period easier and less objectionable to them, and imbue them with a love of country?" |
