The best way to protect a nation is to build boys into men, through the processes of productive industry. Machine gun and dreadnought will soon be as obsolete in the presence of arbitration and the court at the Hague as an ox-cart is ob- solete in the presence of a Pullman palace car. Wendell Phillips once said tiiat Lord Bacon had a right to lay his hand on the steam engine and say to Watt : '^ This en- gine is mine ; I gave you the method." So Charles Sumner, after sixty-five years, has a rig...ht to stand yonder at the entrance of the Parliament House of Peace, now being com- pleted in the capital of Holland, and say: '^ I laid the foundation stones of this struc- no Digitized by VjOOQ IC The Appeal to Educated Men tare and started a war i^^ainst war." This oration of Sumner's on "The True Grandeur of Kations " made him a most un- popular figure at home, but Europe soon called for his speech. It was translated into many languages, two hundred and fifty thousand copies were published and sold, and for the time Sumner was the most talked of man of the year.
