beauty and happiness, and embody them more fully in<br />

their lives. Two of these values, namely, those of moral<br />

virtue and happiness, are, however, pursued and realized<br />

in the service of the community. We must add, then, th<strong>at</strong> a<br />

good community is one which offers to its citizens opportunities<br />

for the development of their personalities and the<br />

realiz<strong>at</strong>ion of these absolute values in its service. If we<br />

define democracy as a method of government under which<br />

every citizen has an opportunity of particip<strong>at</strong>ing, through<br />

discussion, in an <strong>at</strong>tempt to reach voluntary agreement as to<br />

wh<strong>at</strong> shall be done for the good of the whole, we shall<br />

conclude th<strong>at</strong> in offering to its members opportunities to<br />

shape its policy and to realize in action the policy they<br />

have shaped, it offers them also opportunities for the<br />

development of their n<strong>at</strong>ure. It is not true th<strong>at</strong> democracy<br />

subordin<strong>at</strong>es the St<strong>at</strong>e to the individual; on the contrary<br />

it enables the, individual to realize himself in service to<br />

the St<strong>at</strong>e, while not forgetting th<strong>at</strong> the true end of the<br />

St<strong>at</strong>e must be sought in the lives of individuals.<br />
