By way of summarizing the real mature of democracy w#
quote Arthur D+ Hollingshead. In Guidance in Democratic
^ivlng he lists in the manner of a political platform what
he considers a reasonable interpretation of the principles
of democracy:
1. Democracy regards the individual as of inesti-
mable value and his development as the sole object of
society*
2. Democracy guarantees an equality of rights to
all individuals*
3. Democracy insures freedom to all individuals.
4. Democracy places the relations of all individuals
upon the plane of fraternity*
5. Democracy regards individual and group welfare as
interdependent*
6* Democracy places its confidence in the experi-
mental methods of science as a means of intelligently
directing the course of its development.
7* Democracy achieves its common goals through the
cooperative efforts of its members.
S* Government in a democracy la "of the people, by
the people, and for the people." * . . Democracy recog-
nizes that forma of government and laws can never solve
the problems of human associations unless these human
relationships are governed by a spirit of mutual Interest
and mutual service.
9. Democracy depends upon education as a means of
perpetuallzing and improving Itself.°
Democracy being a philosophy of living, a way of life,
and a living organism, then the development of ideas, attj-
tudes, and a llitlea to participate intelligently in life
becomes the responsibility of the educational program*
A system la not democratic simply because It
is made available to everybody or because It la
administered without distinction of person*.
To be truly democratic education must treat
the individual himself as the end and set Itself
