BY Alice Duer Miller

some one has tested the cattle and some
one has enforced sanitary orders
upon distant farms. Access to the
house depends upon a street depart
ment, safety from thieves upon a police
force, and freedom from pestilence upon
the sanitary disposal Of sewage OF
thousands of families. Under these cir
cumstances of complete interdepend-
ence the individual is entirely helpless.
The only way in which he can compel
the continuance Of conditions under
which he and his family can go on living
is by combination with others equally
dependent with himself, and by organ
ization for whatever control of these
conditions is necessary. That combina-
ton and organization is called govern
ment."
'People must either govern or be
governed. They must take part in the
control of their own lives or they must
lead subject lives, hOpelessly dependent
in the little things and in the great
things of life upon the will and power
Of others"
II. The Educational Value. ut is the
process of government that educates
for government. -. The greatest, most
useful educational process ever known
in the world occurs every four years IN
the United States, when during PreSl-

are engaged for months in reading and
hearing about great and difficult
questions of government, in studying
them, in considering and discussing
them. and forming mature opinions
about them"
