Progress of Democracy in Education

Chosen as Theme of ‘Living Newspaper’

 

In cooperation with. various

workers’ groups in Philadelphia,
the Players’ Club, the Industrial
Group and the ‘American Students’
Union will pool their ideas on de-
mocracy in educatidn in a dramatic
production to be given in. the gym-
nasium,, October 27th. The play
will. be worked out in the living
newspaper technique used in One
Third of a Nation.

At a meeting held last Saturday
members of ‘the interested campus
organizations and_ representative
Philadelphia industrial employees
mapped out the general scheme of
the productior®which w'l! be in the
form of a hearing to dexide whether
the education we*have is demo-
eratic and whether it safeguards
democratic learning and thinking.
Workers’ education and women’s
education will be examined, and the
claims for each will be set forth by
the groups who represent them.
The maids’ classes will contribute

L

scenes depicting the growth of edu-
cation among the colored people,
and the maids’ choir will provide
musical accompaniment. Each
group concerned with the produc-
tion is, to do its own research and
plan its own scenes separately The
cast as a whole will. join in three
final rehearsals..

The producers of thg play plan
to show how eaprinny grew from
the needs of the pedple and to what
ext2nt these’ needs have been satis-
field. They will suggest the path of
future’ educational improvements
and détermine what obstacles lie in
the way of educational progress.

Elizabeth, Lord, Bryn Mawr, ’35,
who has directed theatricals for
the Henry Street Scttlement in
New York C'ty, will help guide the
production. To heighten the infor-
mality of the performance members
of the cast ‘will speak from the
audience, thus emphasizing the im-
yression that the action is taking
)lace in a courtroom.

easily and quickly perpetrated,
since it is emotional and instinc-
tive and depends only on the will
of one man, class or party. Civili-
zation cannot endure the destruc-
tiveness of such force which de-
stroys “not only the physical life
of the individual, or the nation,. but
the creative instincts of man.”
“As American citizens,” Miss Park
said, “you are bound to acknowl-
edge this particular idea as fun-
damental to life and liberty.” Our
democracy was drawn up to rely
on reason and we still believe it
to be the basis of government.

It is necessary, therefore, for a
multitude of persons to resolve to
study and apply reason, and it is
possible for college students to
form a part of this multitude.

Miss Park urged students to find

od to.current problems. She ap-
pealed to every student to combine
her studies with the study of the
method of reason, to think inde-
pendently on the basis of experi-
ence and fact. “Catch yourself,”
she said, “in inconsist2ne.es and
false analogies. See to it that
your-argument in a discussion is
not disputation, but has its roots.
‘Learn to hold your judgment fluid.”

As means of relating our daily

tion, Miss Park also mentioned the
absorption of information and the
actual giving of charitable help.
She suggested that informal dis-
cussion follow all speeches on cur-
tent affairs and encouraged special-
ized study of information, propa-
ganda and the evaluation of fact.
