Should we discourage children from playing war games?

A. We might wish to discourage them, but it would be utterly useless at the present time, so we might as well give in gracefully and try to see that when war games are played they teach the lessons which we wish our children to learn — ­fair play, magnanimity in victory, courage in defeat and no hatred of peoples.


Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
