Democracy and Education.

SO long aszthe direction Of mans in.
stltutional lite was in the hands Of one
or the few the need for a wide diffusion
Of political intelligence was not strong
II felt. The divine right Of kings found
its correlative in the diabolical ipno-
Of the masses. There was no edu-
cational ideal, resting upon d social and
political necessity, that was broad
enough to include the whole people, but
the rapid widening Of the basis of SOW
ereignty has changed all that. No deep
er conviction pervades the people Of the
United States and Of France, who are
the most aggressive opponents Of de-
mocracy, than that the preservation Of
liberty under the law and Of the insti-
'tutlons that are U precious possession
and proud heritage depends upon the
intelligence Of the whole people. It is
on this unsuitable foundation that the
argument for public education at public
expense really rests. Educational Re-
view.
