The format of group adult learning such as that in a Baháʼí study circle, the normal setting of a Ruhi Institute meeting, has occurred in previous contexts, such as in the United States Chautauqua developments in the 1870s, "using ideals of democracy, participation, and equality." Moreover, the Baháʼí community has used the term "institute" in various ways over time. A 1927 report in Baháʼí News refers to an "institute", the "Institute of World Unity" held at Green Acre. A 1935 letter of Leroy Ioas noted a reason to promote small group meetings, "firesides", as a central method to promote the religion was to overcome the community's relative introversion that he believed came from thinking that only special Baháʼís could "teach".

In the smoke, "Civilization" is depicted kneeling pleadingly at the feet of a menacing "God of War." Soldiers are seen retreating before deadly gas. Against these scenes, the film's title cards express the film's anti-war message, concluding with the following comments: > Today, the great sorrowful eyes of this same Son of God gaze down upon > blackened fields, where the mangled bodies of men are strewn as grains of > wheat, upon flaming shattered hamlets and stricken firesides. As He listens > to the screaming of the shells, the crashing of monstrous guns, all the > ghastly symphony of the reddest war mankind has ever known, His heart must > recognize the bitter truth in the statement of one of the world's foremost > educators— That in nineteen centuries Civilization has failed to accept > honestly the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The Fitter Family campaign was evolved from Better Babies contests, which was popular during pre-World War I years. The latter was associated with eugenics at the Kansas Free Fair in 1920, and was developed into "Fitter Families for Future Firesides" competitions under the direction of Mary Tirrell Watts and Florence Brown Sherbon. The initial sponsor of the competition was the Red Cross (1920-1924), then Rockefeller and Eastman (1924-1926), and then was transferred to Race Betterment Foundation under Luther S West's direction in 1928. The campaign was a prime example of a positive eugenics program, focusing on teaching young adults familiar with their personal eugenical history how to choose their mates more prudently, and thus leading to a “fitter humanstock.” Battle Creek College main building, photo from the Twenty-first Annual Calendar of Battle Creek College, published in 1896.

Willem Hendrik Gispen grew up in Amsterdam and Utrecht. He was educated to be a primary school teacher and also acquired a teaching certificate in French. He decided in 1913 to study design at the Academy for Visual Arts and Technical Science in Rotterdam. At the academy he became acquainted with a number of people who would cooperate with him at a later date, like architect L.C. van der Vlugt and designer Ch. Hoffmann. After dropping the course in 1915, he worked voluntarily for one of his previous teachers. In 1916 he purchased a small smithy at the Coolschestraat in Rotterdam, where he started his own workshop in September 1916. In the early years, Gispen’s designs were much in line with the expressionism of the Amsterdamse School and the Art Nouveau. Besides ornamental wrought-iron work, Gispen produced things like firesides, lamps, wooden furniture and clocks.
