pafnapaz Q. 2. swf: 'ii When lVlr. Scott was asked for a statement of the democratic philosophy underlying life at Central, he kindly responded with the following: To be free is to conform to the will of the people. The motor- ist has the freedom of the road when he obeys traffic regulations. In sports, freedom of action is determined by the rules of the game. Social etiquette limits social action. Freedom in every phase of living is circumscribed by rules guaranteeing against infringement by the individual upon the rights of the group. ln Central there is freedom in the use of the corridors limited only by special safety demands for one way traffic and by the demands of common courtesy, Students are free to control the honor study hall as long as their conduct pat- tern equals that of any other study hall. Each student is free to choose his course of study and his electives within established limits. Should undesirable group conduct occur at or after athletic contests, at school dances, during school assemblies, or under any similar cir- cumstances, such conduct is called to the attention of the student body, and group responsibility for the behavior pattern is pointed out. Group response then becomes the restraining influence upon the conduct of all. So does democratic action based upon democratic responsibility and judgment become an outgrowth of freedom. Page 9
