So vast indeed, that the public does not grasp its needs, importance, and difficulties. Nevertheless the success of democracy rests on education, and without adequate provision for the education of the people there can be no successful state. The World War disclosed many disturbing things, but none more so than the general average of education in this country. Professor Hamilton and his colleague were associated during the war in the work of intelligence testing of recruits. This book is in some measure their conclusions regarding the facts collected by them and in consequence it contains a message of great importance to the men and women in educational work. F. L. M.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges America to make a change. The author argues that only an educated, trained, interested, informed, and responsible citizenry can secure a democratic society. A democracy depends on its citizens to maintain its virtues and fight its vices, and every generation must be trained to fill those civic roles. The book declares that this training is every bit as important as military training, and in a free society, every citizen is a soldier. The book's insights on the vital connection between education and democracy make it a valuable resource for educators, students, and anyone interested in the development of a better society.
