The devotion of democracy to education is a familiar fact. The superficial explanation is that a government resting upon popular suffrage cannot be successful unless those who elect and who obey their governors are educated. Since a democratic society repudiates the ***principle of external authority***, it must find a substitute in voluntary disposition and interest; these can be created only by education.
