"The Trend of Democracies" is the subject of an address to be given Thursday, adult evening education before class members in world events.

Recognizing that thru all history progress has been made only una democratic form of government, Dr.

Martin will point out those trends within democracy itself which tend toward its own destruction, indicating how, with sovereignty vested in the people, the tendency to resent constitu, tional limitations leads gradually to placing consent with the governing instead of with the governed. Greater dependence on government in turn results in pressure groups, planned economy and a tryanny which is the route by which the democracies in Europe are destroying themselves, Martin believes. Altho education has been heralded as the savior of liberties, Dr. Martin says that recent studies by Gulick and Learned indicate that education in democracies tends be degraded with much else. Such cha degradation, Dr.

Martin will show, is unnecessary if respect for things of the mind is restored and people are encouraged to think things thru together.
