That education will remain unaffected in profound ways by the war, is difficult to believe. If we think, educationally speaking, in terms of a world at all, rather than in terms of individuals, or communities, families and nations, we are quickly impressed by the sense of living in a new order of educational problems, and possessing, it may be, a new variety of self-consciousness.
The report mentions the gratifying increase last year in the number of Indian children in attendance at the neighborhood public schools. Some tribes are still peculiarly neglected educationally. The Navajos are a conspicuous example. Twenty-four thousand Indian children remain without schools.
But educationally, in any accepted sense of the word, Herndon Hall was quite negligible, as all such institutions for the care of the daughters of the rich must be, as long as the chief concern of its patrons is to see their daughters properly married and "taking a good position in society."
Educationally valuable, therefore, as Some Answered Questions may be, we cannot attach so much importance to it as to the story the true story of the converted Muḥammadan. When at home, Abdul Baha only discusses Western problems with visitors from the West. The Legacy left by Baha-'ullah to his son was, it must be admitted, an onerous educational duty.

Educationally, emphasis may not be put on eternal truth, but it is put on the authority of book and teacher, and individual variation is discouraged. A formal logical faculty is set up in distinction from tradition and history and all concrete subject matter. This faculty of reason is endowed with power to influence conduct directly.
Nevertheless, after a third of a century of successful endeavor, educationally and materially, efforts are being made in Southern States for his disfranchisement and the curtailment of his education.
Maisie was well aware that the proprietress of the old brown dress and the old odd headgear was lower in the scale of "form" than Miss Overmore; but it was now brought home to her with pain that she was educationally quite out of the question. She was buried for the time beneath a conclusive remark of her critic's: "She's really beyond a joke!"
Respect for and an understanding of the life and customs of other races, are not only educationally valuable, but are fundamentally important in this "crucible of nations," where different races are fusing themselves together as never before in the history of the world.
