Even though we affirm the fact of public control there is wide disagreement regarding the proper weighting of the claims of the variety of groups which demand support from the operations of the schools. Along with this conflict there is a feeling that a knowledge of the nature of democracy should provide ssa© guidance within it. Each group, however, can base its claim upon some interpretation of the meaning of democracy. Each of these seems plausible initially but variation in interpretation results in conflicting claims. Yet a thorough study of the operation of democracy is America, in relation to the problem of the control of education, should result in some clarification of issues. Certainly the Americas experience has been hospitable to difference but this should not he taken to mean that it is equally hospitable to all differences or that it has not evolved institations adapted to the particular forms of difference it has expressed. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the problem of educations- control for the following purposes: (1 ) to discover its fundamental characteristics5 (2 ) to isolate those aspects of the 1 problem ■which result fro® recent fundamental changes in social structure5 (3 ) to examine the present state of knowledge in the social sciences in relation to these fundamental changesj and (h) to examine the modern issue of educational control in the light gained from this examination. This analysis will be carried forward by an examination of the literature in the relevant social sciences. The problem, so stated, is a vast one. The purpose of this study will have been achieved if toe field involved is opened for more effective specula­ tion upon, and exploration of, the major issues involved. The Problem of toe Public No one of course believes that teachers in public schools are laws unto themselves. Teachers are possibly the first to admit to controls outside themselves, though they may be in doubt regarding the advisability of a particular scheme of control. The most obvious source of this control is the authority which provides the physical surroundings and enforces the attendance of the students. It is almost a truism to state that the public should control public education. That there is in America a free, tax supported public school armed with the legal authority to enforce attendance is a fact. let this fact is too often allowed to obscure the equally hard fact that American society includes a multitude of "publics.” The "public" affected by what goes on In the school is illimitable. American society is made up of a multitude of publics with conflicting interests which are so interrelated that no school can help but assist or hinder the interests of a variety of publics far beyond its direct concerns. This “public® is so amorphous and diffuse, however, as to be inconsequential in the actual control of school affairs.1 Nearly everyone Is agreed that in a democracy “public opinion55 should have the ultimate authority over what should go on in public schools. If the opinion of any aggregation of persons is to be felt in public affairs, however, it must be organized. A sere aggregation has no expressed common opinion nor any means of carrying one out,. Public opinion becomes a directive force in public affairs only as a group of people can speak and act as one over some period of time. This requires organization, delegation of authority, and some degree of group discipline. Though the affected public may be amorphous, the effective public is that number of publics which are organized into decision-making bodies. To fail to recognise this distinction is to hold to that sentimental ideal of "public relations" that uses the mass media to effect a simulated popular ratification of decisions already made by some organized, active, and effective group. The fact that the term "public control" has not been carefully used in connection with public education should not obscure the fact that it has a specific meaning. This meaning is that legal authority ------ j ------------ Cf. Walter Iippsaa. The Phantom public. over the public school (and indirectly, private schools) is in the hands of the state governments. The people express their sovereignty through their legally elected representatives in established govern­ mental institutions by means of law. It must be recognized that the general term control designates several different kinds of phenomena. There are those most apparent, the legal controls, the terms of which are written in laws administered by government and the courts and enforced by the sanctions of the state. Most of the routine behavior of men is not regulated by formal law, however. The controls uppermost in the behavior of most men are those imposed by lesser groups, the church, family, occupa­ tional group, or neighborhood. These groups and those who dominate them wield vast powers which have no specific legal sanction and which may in fact controvert the legal distribution of power. Often the effects of these powers are so habitual and so encrusted with custom that they are accepted without question or even awareness.^ The legal structure then is comparable to the part of an iceburg that is visible above the surface of the water. Below it lies the much greater expanse of the power structure which, though unrecognized by the law, is a part of it, supporting and using its forms. It is clear that the ideal of public control of education allows for a multitude of interpretations and considerable confusion. The ideal — — g--------- Cf • John Dewey. The Public and Its Problems, arai the "sociological® school of 3Sisprudence of “who® Roscoe Pound is the best known. The concept mores is not unrelated. becomes meaningful only as all of the channels of expression of public control are specified. Emphasis upon the legal channels of expression seems appropriate and yet it ignores the fact that legal arrangements are not the most important determinants of human behavior.^ Changes in the Public Taking into account these extra-legal instruments of control we find that control by the local community seems particularly appropriate in a democracy.

Name: Jonathan H. Skaggs Date of Degree: JULY, 2014 Title of Study: THE OLD RIGHT AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN AMERICAN CONSERVATISM Major Field: History Abstract: In November of 1955, William F. Buckley published the first issue of National Review. His journal defined modern American conservatism as a mix of anti-Marxism, tradition, and a belief in limited government. These three interconnected ideas formed the foundation of modern American conservatism. In the first issue of National Review, Buckley wrote that the intent of his journal was to “stand athwart history, yelling stop!” Buckley hoped that National Review would halt the growth of atheism and collectivism in the United States. The journal would work to protect American traditions, argue for limited government, and attack all forms of Marxism. In addition the name National Review reflected the journal’s goal of bringing all conservatives together in one national movement. However, the basic ideas of modern American conservatism already existed in scholarly journals of the 1930s and 1940s.

  • PDF EPUB} the People's Choice from Washington to Harding a Study in Democracy by Herbert Agar Herbert Agar
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The People's Choice From Washington to Harding A Study in Democracy by Herbert Agar Herbert Agar. Herbert Sebastian Agar (29 September 1897 in New Rochelle, New York - 24 November 1980 in Sussex, England) was an American journalist and historian, and an editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal . He won the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1934 for his 1933 book The People's Choice , a critical look at the American presidency. Agar was associated with the Southern Agrarians and edited, with Allen Tate, Who Owns America? (1936). [1] He was also a strong proponent of an Americanized version of the British distributist socioeconomic system. [2] Agar's 1950 book The Price of Union was one of John F. Kennedy's favorite books, [3] and he kept a copy of it on his desk. [4] A passage from The Price of Union about an act of courage by John Quincy Adams gave Kennedy the idea of writing an article about senatorial courage. He showed the passage to his speechwriter Ted Sorensen and asked him to see if he could find some more examples. This Sorensen did, and eventually they had enough for a book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Profiles in Courage (1956). [5] THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE. A Study in Progress"" reads the subtitle, chosen, unquestionably, with tongue in cheek. A distinctly sensational indictment of our presidential scheme, and of the men who have been elected to fill the chair of the Chief Executive. In the early days, men of fine calibre, fitting background and training, and considerable mental stature, occupied the position.
