I. P. CRODlAN, A, M., Superintendent EDUCATION IN A DEMOCRACY A characteristic of American life has been the aspiratien Of Our Citizens for life, liberty, and happi- ness. James Truslow Adams has called this longing the American Dream, that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achievement. The maintenance and the development of this democratic life are dependent primarily upon universal, free education. Government by the people depends on the ability of the people to govern. To prepare citizens of the new country for the day of self government, the nation's founders established public schools. For more than a century American statesmen have encouraged the extension of equal educational opportunities and have called upon the people to protect this inherent right Whenever it has been threatened by self- ish greed or financial difficulties. In the present emergency, the friends of democracy will not weaken the support of the public schools upon which popular government is built. They will preserve the schools in the same faith and for the same basic purposes for which they were established by the nation's founders. BOARD OF EDUCATION Y . I. H.
