Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Urgent Need for Reform in Our National and Class Education: Delivered at South Place Institute on May 30, 1918
Them that an Empire like ours, dependent for its main defence on the money and the mili tary capacity of 56 or 57 millions of white people - and mainly on the people of Britain itself - cannot be considered safe from attack in one vital direction or another unless its manhood will consent to compulsory military training and service. They would have realized that our Navy alone could not suffice to defend and save Great Britain and the British Empire. Even a hundred and eighteen years ago, under much easier conditions of warfare, we realized that.
