Education Called Safeguard Of Democracy by John Wild

Calling free education the most important safeguard to democracy, John D. Wild, assistant professor of Philosophy, spoke last night on the weekly "Guardian" radio broadcast.

Wild attempted in his talk to appraise the fundamentals of democracy which makes it different from the totalitarian states, and after finding the obvious definitions of majority rule and protected minority rights inadequate, reached three conclusions. First be listed the supremacy of reason ever brute force, second the importance of the individual mind as opposed to the mass mind, third the recognition of a code of reasoned justices.

These ideals of democracy, Wild concluded, can only be secured by as educational system which provides for the free pursuit of truth and defends against the false philosophies of relativists propaganda education, and arming without a defined cause.
