These pages it is a foolish mistake to conceal.

I suppose that the school histories of every nation are partly bad.

I imagine that most of them implant the germ of international hatred in the boys and girls who have to study them.

Nations do not like each other, never have liked each other; and it may very well be that school textbooks help this inclination to dislike.

Certainly we know what contempt and hatred for other nations the Germans have been sedulously taught in their schools, and how utterly they believed their teaching.
