We should take care, in inculcating patriotism into our boys
and girls,that is a patriotism above the narrow sentiment which
usually stops at one's country, and thus inspires jealousy and
enmity in dealing withothers... Our patriotism should be
of the wider, nobler kind which recognises justice and
reasonableness in the claims of others and which lead our country
into comradeship with...the other nations of the world.
The first step to this end is to develop peace and goodwill within
our borders, by training our youth of both sexes to its practice
as their habit of life, so that the jealousies of town against town,
class againstclass and sect against sect no longer exist; and then
to extend this goodfeeling beyond our frontiers towards our neighbours.
Lord Baden-Powell
