The citizen of democracy needs certain intellectual qualities. It is not enough to love truth ; the citizen must learn how to find it. It is easy to teach students to reason correctly in the physical sciences. It is much more difficult to reason correctly in the social sciences where their own prejudices and passions are involved. They must be caught habits of clear thinking in order that they may acquire the power of recognizing their own prejudices and of discussing political And economical questions with the same calm, the same desire to understand the other person’s position, the same precision and the absence of overstatement, that they would bring to discussion of a problem in mathematics. Further , they must acquire some knowledge of the broad facts of the world of politics and economics; they must know something of the world today and the history of its development.
