NATIONAL EDUCATION ASS'N. Declaration of Principles Adopted at Meeting at Denver, Col., On July 8, 1909. The National Education Associa tion, holding its Forty-seven.:h Anntal Convention in Denver, representing teachers and friends of education in every state of the Union, made the following Declaration of Principles and of Aims: 1. A free democray cannot long continue without the assistance of a system of state-supported schools, ad ministered by the chosen agents of the people and responsible to th peo ple for its ideals, its conduct, and its results. The commanding position of the American people is largely due to the general -diffusion of knowledge and culture by its free schools. 2. Our system of state-supported schools must include elementary schools, secondary schools, schools for the training of teachers, and state -.niversities. The changed conditions of the twentieth century also demand the establishmen.: of free schools whose purpose shall be the training of -our youth for commerce and the in dustries, as well as for the pro fessions. 3. The purpose of our system of free common schools must continue 'o be chiefly culture for the individ ual and the transmission to posterity of the results of investigations and deliberations of the past. Our free sehools must advance along the lines of -educaitional democarey in the sense that they must provide equal educational opportunities for all. Altho they must gi"e practical prepra tion not only for the professions, but also for commercial life, the demands of any part of the business world that curses of study' be subordinated to prticular interests is not in accord with the proper aims of a national system .of common schools.. 4. A system of common schools that will mieet the needs of the times must be democratic in its purpose and its administration; must recog nize tihe importan-ee of expert super vision, of better and more numerous high schools, of better and more nu merous high schools for the trainig of teachers, of a merit system for the appointment and promotion of teach ers; and it must exclude fraternities and secret organizations of every sort from the social life of the school. 5. %he common schools of our country must recognize more fully than ever the necessity of training our youth for citizenship. The perpe tuation of democracy depends upon the existence in the people of thait habit of will which is justice. 'Liberty under law is the proccss of attaining justice which has thus far been most successful among eivilized men.The call to citizenship is a call to-the ex e1ise of liberty under law. a call to the limitation of liberty ,by law, and -a call to the pursuit of justice, not only for one 's self but for others. 6. The Na,tional Education Associ ation endorses the purpose of the }Anerican School Peace League. The Association believes that t:he princi pes of the League will make for ef fective citizenship, and urges all teachers to acquaint themselves with work of the League and to co-operate with it. 7. The increased tendency to con gestion of population in cities makes necessary greater and more systemat ie a;:tention to the physical develop ment of our children. No vigorous race of people has long maintained a hiah state of civilization under condi ti)ns that did not take into consid eration the physcial as well as the mental and moral development of its youth. The Association recommends that provision be made by the United States Bureau of Education for effeet tve promnotionI of physicail edcu a ion c :i~ Iv - nine~:-1! ral 0, 1 (111a'i f) 1W(Till'.tioll a11d NN.it I l e nature of the service rendered. 9. The National Educa-ion Asso ciation heartily endorses t he use of sc4hCol buildings and all school equip ment for community interests and so eial betterment. 10. The .National Education Associ ation endorses :the movement to eon solidate the rural district schools wherever practicble, and expresses the hope that his movement will be en couraged until the children of rural communities enjoy the benefits of public education to an extent approx imating those now supplied to chil dren of urban communities. 11. The National Education Asso ciation gives its hearty endorsement to the work of the National Bureau of Education, :the Carnegie Founda tion, the General Education Board, and all associations, institutions, and organizations that are working to de velop and promote the educational in terests of the country.
