Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Plan for Negro Education: Proposed by the Fleur De Lis Club of Philadelphia Democracy means that the interests of a group should be shared by all members of that group; and that the various groups which make/up society in general should interact fully and freely with each other. Education is conceived to be the full and free development of all the capacities with which an individual is endowed at birth. The function of education is to direct - that is, point out - the means of develop ing these capacities, but not to control them. The systems of education in general practice in public schools and colleges are recognized as faulty in that among Other things they are not sufficiently flexible to provide for the varying capacities of people. The practical result has been that a large proportion of people fail to recelve that education which means the full and free development of all their individual capaci ties. Education fails to touch their interests and the majority of people go to school for only a short time. It is particularly this class of people who have failed to get the early schooling that the plan herewith pre sented is designed to reach; but it has the advantage of having demonstrated its value also In schools and colleges. In such a comprehensive subject as education it is quite obvious that only brief fundamentals can be indicated at this time. To make the plan more intel ligible, a syllabus of the basic principles has been pre pared and is now available for distribution to those interested. Those who wish to pursue further the plan in its philosophic and psychological aspects, and also its practical Operation in actual existing conditions, are recommended to obtain three books which are now recognized as classics in education; those books are: Democracy and Education, by John Dewey; School; of Tomorrow, by John Dewey and Evelyn Dewey; N ew School; for Old, by Evelyn Dewey.
