Our Democracy a Success as
Long as Education Is
Pre -eminent
By PHILANDER P. CLAXTON, United States Commissioner of
Education
IN A DEMOCRACY LIKE OURS EVERYTHING DEPENDS 0\ EDUCA
TION, AND NOTHING IS GOOD WITHOUT IT. THIS COUNTRY 13
RULED BY PUBLIC OPINION AND PUBLIC SENTIMENT. IF TriE
MASSES ARE EDUCATED PUBLIC SENTIMENT WILL BE GCOD AND
DEMOCRACY WILL SUCCEED.
Side bv side with the onward march of the democratic form of gov
ernment has been the BIRTH AND PROGRESS OF THE PUIW.IC
SCHOOLS. Until the masses were educated they could not rule them
selves. Plato said that of all forms of government the democratic w.is
the most dangerous and the hardest to maintain, and this statement v.:is
proved when all the smaller democracies of his time fell and Rome hi r
self was destroyed. When this democracy under which we live was giw :i
birth the public schools were also started, and TOGETHER THEY
HAVE EXISTED.
Everything depends on fitting and putting and keeping good toa '
in the schools. If democracy succeeds in putting GOOD TEACH i s
in the schools the democracy succeeds, but if democracy fails to do this
then democracy fails.
EVERYTHING SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN THE SCHOOLS THAT
CANNOT BE TAUGHT BETTER SOMEWHERE ELSE. DEMOCRACY
MEANS EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY. EVERY CHILD SHOULD HAVE
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP HIS POWERS THROUGH
THE SCHOOLS. FOR THAT REASON THE WIDE DIFFERENTIATION,
OF COURSE. HAS BEEN RECENTLY INAUGURATED INTO THE
SCHOOL SYSTEM.
If You Value
Your Child's EyesigM
You will provide him with a good oil lamp.
Scientists agree that an oil light is best for study
ing and reading.
The Jteyb Lamp
gives a soft mellow light An ideal light for the
home circle. Scientifically constructed. No !
glare: no flicker. Easy to light and care for.
Ask to see it at your dealers.
