DETROIT.-A grass-root plan fol
introducing German children tt
democratic practices by giving then
a voice in their school affairs is be-
ing drawn by a Wayne University
professor Of secondary education.
Prof. Earl c. Kelley recently asked
to put his policies in simple hand
book form for the State Department
following q proposal to department
of1cials by Richard yelling, chair
man OF the National Self Govern.
ment Committee, Inc.
Tho committee, founded in 1904
by Mr.. yelling, a Harvard class
mate of President Theodore Roose-
velt, has spread the idea Of teach
ing responsibility by giving respon-
sibility" to make boys and girls
public minded.
The basic idea, says Prof. Kelley
Is Ito make each student of high
school age feel that his school
wouldn't function so well if he
weren't around" The idea is put
into practice by giving students a
role IN school affairs and teaching
them rules Of parliamentary pro-
cedure.
If applied to the American occu-
patton zone in Germany, emphasis
would be placed on free speech and
democratic participation in class
room meetings, student councils and
similar units. The program would
be designed to provoke discussion on
any subject under guidance of a
chairman.
"As you know" Prof. Kelley ex-
plains, every English or American
citizen realizes from the start that
he can make a motion at meeting. !"
