Whenever and wherever people shall have occasion to congregate, then and there shall be the time, place and means of their education.Alfred Kilpatrick, founder of Frontier College, (1899).
"Wherever democracy has fallen, it was too exclusively political in nature. It had not become part of the bone and blood of people in daily conduct. Unless democratic habits of thought are part of the fiber of a people, political democracy is insecure."
John Dewey
Schools are, indeed, one important method of the transmission which forms the dispositions of the immature; but it is only one means, and compared with other agencies, a relatively superficial means.
John Dewey, Democracy and Education (1916)
