TALKS
by
Crane
THE SCHOOL REPUBLIC

The important events big with des-
tiny are not often conspicuous. They
may be taking place in a small cor.
ncr.
The popuiace Of Imperial Rome
cared little for what was going on In
Judea. Very few OF them even heard
OF IL. Yet there was the event that
was 10 I'm all the future.
Milliouaircs were Etrutting in Ath-
ems. people were talking u wars and
laws and art and literature. and few
OF them paid any attention to an old
man who was being poisoned In pris-
on, Yet II was Socrates who taught
the world.
The huge political conventions OF
Chicago and San Francisco will have
very little effect upon the destiny Of
the country. They ARE rather the
noise OF timorouB and flocking
birds"
Up in the thirty-cighfh story OF a
New York fbyscraper the other day
a handful OF people met 70 consider,
subject that weighed more In the
scale Of destiny than anything limited
at in the political conventions Of 10
years.
This little group was considerIng
the question Of the School Republic.
At a meeting Of the Coneitutional
League in the Bankers club 10 chill
drcn from a public school In Brook
lyn were demonstrating the labora-
tory method Of creating Democracy.
The idea Is that Democracy Is a
thing that has 10 be learned. 1t
does not come by nature. Therefore
the place 10 begin Is In the public
school
IL is much more important that
children learn how TO govern them
selves. 20 obtain In lawful ways what
the majority OF them want, to select
their own governors and obey them.
TO understand voting and take an in
terest. In politics. than that they
learn how 20 bound Uruguay or do
sums In arithmetic.
The only radical cure for the Ills
OF Democracy is more Democracy.
II IN to understand. TO feel. and be
expert in Democracy.
m ~ IN 1t Nnf~tNs - '.
trained in little autocracies- Thus
when they graduate from school they
desp!se politics.
The consequence Is that politics
falls into the hands OF men who are
second class both intellectually and
morally.
The remedy In 20 teach Democracy
from the very kindergarten. so that
the children coming out of the
school viii be experts therein.
Then they will like politics. for we
like what we know and we despise
that of which we are ignorant
Mr.. Wilson l.. Gill who Is devot-
ing his life to this idea. Is a man
whose name will be remembered a
hundred years from now. when
many who are today famous apostles
Of flapdoodle win be forgotten
Every school ought TO be a Re-
public. School children should u
taught self government. Every
school should be a little United
States. and not a little Germany.
The only reforms that are perrna-
nent steps forward are those that be-
gin In the schoolroom.
Humanity advances thru It's chill
dren. not thru its adults.
