In past ages humanity has been defective and inefficient because it has been
incomplete. War and its ravages have blighted the world; the education of
woman will be a mighty step toward its abolition and ending, for she will use
her whole influence against war. Woman rears the child and educates the youth
to maturity. She will refuse to give her sons for sacrifice upon the field of
14
battle. In truth, she will be the greatest factor in establishing universal
peace and international arbitration. Assuredly, woman will abolish warfare
among mankind….
