Connelly, 189 Pleasâ€" ant avenue, Highland Park, was one of the ten authors of prize winâ€" ning letters on "Making a Better Democracy," â€" a contest recently sponscred by The Christian Science Monitor. His letter was as follows: "Under a democracy one may publicly criticize the governmentâ€" safely. : Individual freedom of thought and action then, is the esâ€" sence of democracy, and until its citizens understand â€" and < treasure this freedom, democracy cannot be bettered. The basis of this underâ€" standing is education. Not formal 3ueationâ€"-noâ€"-a more difficult kind education is needed, the kind that helps a man distinguish truth from error, intrinsic goodness. from evil. At school our children rather than being indoctrinated must be taught to think.. The search ‘ begun in school years must ‘be continued far beyond; must never stop. The reâ€" sults? Propaganda will dwindle‘ as truth gives us immunity to it, inâ€" dividual â€"rights will be held yet more sacred, "the greatest good for the greatest number" will be more nearly our objective, democracy will come into its own," World evints< have brought demâ€" ocracy and dictatorships so concluâ€" sively to grips within the past year that The Christian Science Monitor devoted its entire Magazine to a reâ€" appraisa\ and reâ€"examination of free government last Wednesday. Popular interest in this venture is shown by the fact that nearly 2,000 persons contributed through letters sent in reply to the Moniâ€" tor‘s question, "What is most needâ€" ed to make a better democracy?"
