This is where we stand. At our next meeting, we need to come up with a looser list of suggestions toward possible reforms, etc, which we will submit not as a final document, but merely as a series of possibilities to consider in the future. Also, if there are any editorial changes suggested for the main statement, we can discuss them. The former requires liberal education. Although it should not need arguing by now, our great political philosophers from Jefferson to Dewey have all insisted on the need for a well-educated citizenry for the fundamental health of democracy.
Liberal education provides a key to life enrichment generally.
There were other suggestions which, with apologies and in the interests of keeping this communication manageable, I did not include. Feel free to offer them and others at the meeting.
