La explicación superficial es que un gobierno basado en el sufragio popular no puede tener éxito a menos que aquellos que eligen y obedecen a sus gobernantes sean educados.

• The aim of education is to enable individuals to continue their education ... (and) the object and reward of learning is continued capacity for growth.

And this means a democratic society.

• What, after all, is the public under present conditions? What are the reasons for its eclipse? What hinders it from finding and identifying itself? By what means shall its inchoate and amorphous estate be organized into effective political action relevant to present social needs and opportunities?

• No government by experts in which the masses do not have the chance to inform the experts as to their needs can be anything but an oligarchy managed in the interest of the few. And the enlightenment must proceed in ways which force the administrative specialists to take account of the needs. The world has suffered more from leaders and authorities than from the masses. The essential need ... is the improvement of the methods and conditions of debate, discussion and persuasion. That is the problem of the public.
