training school of democracy and
its Importance as the representa-
tive institution of the common
wealth cannot be overestimated.
Class consciousness, snobbish-
ness, intolerance, supercilious-
ness, cannot exist in the atmos-
phere of the public school. Here
the barriers that separate classes
and creeds, races and communi-
ties, are broken down. A sense
of mutual sympathy and under
standing is developed, the SOL
idarity of the nation is exempli-
fed, and the one loyalty to the
flag as against all other obedien-
ces and authorities and allegi-
ances is emphasized.
Seventy years ago Theodore
Parker declared: The common
school is the cradle of Americas
greatness" twenty-five centur-
les ago Diogenes said: Education
is the basis of the Greek state"
We may well say: the public
school is the foundation of the
American state.
The greatness and glory of this
United States wakes and wanes
with the development or decline
of the public school. If by reason
of the growth of some other sy-
stem of schools, or by failure
on the part of the citizenship to
appreciate the unique civic signi-
ficance of the public school, it
should fall into decay a body blow
would be struck at the republic.
Sometime this axiom of demo-
cracy will be universally recog-
nized and the parents of the ma
ton frankly and patriotically
acknowledging this truth shall
gladly send their children to the
public schools to be instructed in
secular subjects, to be trained in
American citizenship, to grow up
in the atmosphere of democracy,
and to be imbued with the ideal
istic spirit of Washington and
Lincoln. Herein lies the assur-
ance of Americas future.-The
New Age.
