have been accused Of being against the Athletic
Club, even though have several times praised its
work and even though have mentioned it tn the
annual lists Of
Year, have far published. The following is not
meant to prove that against the Athletic Club
for such is not the case-but it shall probably be
cited as evidence that an. That is unfortunate
but it is possibility that feel I must disre-
gard.
For am most enphatically against the present
effort Of the Club to vote itself, of the
Citizen Association, out of parti patton on the
Associations meetings. It has asked the Associa-
ton and the Parent-Teachers' Association to meet
on nights that most of Its members will be busy
bowling, and it indicates that it is prepared for
the once, to pack the Association meeting that wi
consider the proposal. It wants the auditorium on
the night that has come to be recognized as the
night of major civic signi Hcance-when the Town
council, and the Citizens Association and the P.T.k
meets. And it expects these associations devoted to
the problems of its community and its children to
meet on night when large section of its member
ship can hardly be expected to be present.
This is perversion of democracy if there ever
was enc. To think that influential organization
snou1o exert Its Influence for the sole purpose of
discouraging its members from exerting that influ
ence regularly, on general Town problems. And to
think that such organi cation is so unaware Of the
s1gni ficance Of the town that make its very exis
tence possible that its only to the as
seTol1es of the TOWNS citizens Is to vote itself
out. 1t differs only degree from the action TAX
en- by the plebic1te that doomed democracy Germany
II we would preserve democracy In our country we
must each OF US establish In ourselves the habits of
oenocracys II we turn our problems to small
groups and do not ourselves with the duties
OF democratic citizenship are bound sooner or
Later to wake up and find that democratic control of
our country has slipped from grasp. A true dem
ocracy, formed Of intelligent, informed and active
citizens, Is the strongest form government; but
so-caed democracy that Lacks these consti tuents is
the weakest.
Let us make sure that Greenbel t. at least is
true democracy.
