Excerpt from Patrons of Democracy
I have not been misleading in my essay. I shall be misleading here, however, if I quote only my neighbor's letter and do not go on to tell of the far-flung response that came back to me from across the country to this plea for a com mon school. It has been little short of a national wave of approval. The private-school people have not said very much: one woman principal told me she was glad to know that there was still a dreamer and fool left alive in the world; but the common people read it gladly, as I hoped they would; the master-builders' Association of Bos ton saying: We believe you have uncovered something greater than you know, and we wish to get behind you. From New York, Chicago, and Pasadena have come personal letters of the same tenor, together with orders for the maga zine to be distributed broadcast.
