The article presents an address delivered by the headmaster of Lawrenceville School before the Rotary Club of Trenton, New Jersey, on Armistice Day, 1926. The war is an ever present evil, and everyone has suffered so much during the three years in the navy, that one cannot forget. But not one of the boy in the school knows anything about it. The oldest boys were only ten years old when the Armistice was signed. In the last eight years the country had prohibition and all it entails, ubiquitous automobile, the cheap theater, absence of parental control, ignoring of religion and the emancipation of womanhood combined with modern dance.
