Syllabus of a Discussion on Self-Government in School

Abstract

3. Government must afford the greatest possible liberty to the individuals, compatible with the integrity of the whole, and it must secure a perpetuation of freedom. II. The Jeffersonian principle, "All men are created free and equal," is, under any conception of government, unalterably true. i. Almost all discussion of this principle has turned upon the application and meaning of the term "equal." Many of the difficulties in government have arisen from a false interpretation of the term "free."
