Good-will Day- May 18

 Good-will Day- May 18 

 THE only sure way to destroy an enemy is to make him your friend. We do not quarrel with people whom we understand. This is as true of nations as it is of individuals, and is the practical idea behind Good-will Day (May 18th), the anniversary of the meeting in 1899 of the first Hague Peace Conference. So for a na- tional understanding of people in other lands, we as individuals, should go out of our ordinary paths on this day to learn something about the in habitants of foreign countries. We should learn how they live, and try to understand the things that are close to their hearts, their ideals, ambitions, and hopes. No dry statistics, no formal collections of facts will give us these things. We must have humanized accounts that will make us feel that heart beat as true on one shore as on  of the other.
