i September 10, 1927 WINNETKA TALK things interesting to them as children. They may include--indeed often should include--individual enterprises as well as group activities; individual creations in art, music, handicrafts, original com- positions, in accordance with the needs and interests of the individual children; and they should also include self-gov- erning assemblies, where children learn through settling their own affairs, that freedom for one individual must neces- sarily be limited by the right of other in- dividuals to freedom. The group and creative activities should be so planned that they will pro- vide opportunities and encouragement for the self-expression of the reticent child as well as the aggressive one, the child with few talents as well as the genius. Each child must be stimulated to express his own special interests and abilities and to make his own original contribution to the group enterprise, Each child must feel that he is a part of the group. He must have his social-consciousness developed and think of the welfare of his little society as well as merely expressing his individual self. For a society made up of individuals, each highly developed and self-expressive, but not social minded, would be centrifugal and chaotic, not even a society, but merely an ag- glomeration of desparate individuals. We must, therefore, at all times be careful to develop, along with creativeness and self-expression, an abiding sense of so- cial unity, a realization that while in one's own good lies the good of the world, it is equally true that only in the good of the world is the good of the individual. Freedom does not mean anarchy. A co- operation group, made up of individuals who can work together for the good of all, in which each individual expresses in his life and activity his own special interests and aptitudes, his own variations from the rest, but in co-operation with them--sueh an organization provides the optimum of freedom. Education for this freedom must there- fore take into account social needs and a sense of social responsibility. It must at the same time not merely allow but stim- ulate variation and originality on the part of each individual. By giving each individual child mastery of the knowl- edge and skills he will need in order to play his part in the present social organi- zation, by developing in him a deep abid- ing sense of his duty with his fellows, and by encouraging him to create, to make his own special, different contri- bution to society, we are giving him true freedom.
