Must Improve System of Education Says Prof. Munro

Professor W. B. Munro '99, in a talk before the Freshman Debating Club last night, spoke on "The Lessons of the War." The first lesson learned from the war is that military preparedness is futile if the cause is wrong. "Germany was easily the most thoroughly prepared nation in the war," said Professor Munro, "but her cause was wrong and her military strength availed her nothing." The next point brought out was the necessity of avoiding war in the future, while the last two dealt with the lesson of the war as regards education, mental and physical." The government did not realize," he said, "the number of physical and mental defectives there were until it began examining men for the Army. The system of education must be improved."
