A man's political education should never be completed. This means that he to whom it is committed must be relentlessly in training, learning through use the better mastery of his citizen's rights and, like a surgeon or a soldier or a man of law, improving his skill with practice which can only signify practice of civic judgment in that study of human nature and choice of good men which is the true life of a democracy. The key to democratic education, like the key to democratic institutions, is liberalism. The free public school is the great fortress of democracy.
