Sinopsis
Excerpt from Patrons of Democracy
I have not been misleading in my essay. I shall be misleading here, however, if I quote only my neighbor's letter and do not go on to tell of the far-flung response that came back to me from across the country to this plea for a com mon school. It has been little short of a national wave of approval. The private-school people have not said very much: one woman principal told me she was glad to know that there was still a dreamer and fool left alive in the world; but the common people read it gladly, as I hoped they would; the master-builders' Association of Bos ton saying: We believe you have uncovered something greater than you know, and we wish to get behind you. From New York, Chicago, and Pasadena have come personal letters of the same tenor, together with orders for the maga zine to be distributed broadcast.

Excerpt from Patrons of Democracy
I have been ten years writing this book, and three times ten years living it. This is another "Book of Acts" - rather than words; of practice more than preaching; of sons instead of theories. I wonder if I am not the only living educator with more sons than theories, or methods, or experiments to try out?
Of course, each of my children is an experiment; every individual child is. But American education is not the individual child: it is a national child, and that child is no longer an experiment. Some things in American education are reasonably proved - enough such things to keep every public school working to capacity, and every American school-child busy at his books until he is at least sixteen. It is time we stopped experimenting with public-school education. A few million more experiments will perhaps do no more harm than the millions we have already made; but they hinder education seriously. It is time the nation got down to business - the business of teaching all its people to read, write, and figure, and to get on together.
There is something alarmingly experimental in the sound of this last idea!
