CHARLES ZUEBLIN is a free lance of democracy.  Having been graduated from classical and theological courses at American universities; having studied social philosophy and social movements in European universities and cities; and having served his novitiate as a social settlement worker in Chicago, he became a university teacher.  During sixteen years at the University of Chicago as a member of the University Extension staff his labors were chiefly those of a social and civic evangelist beyond the university walls.

As his experience widened, his democratic faith matured and he responded to the call of the larger parish and became an independent lecturer on democracy.  To him democracy is not a form of government, but a faith and a life — the life of all by the coöperation of all for the welfare of all.

When he had attained his majority as an itinerant lecturer in 1913 he had traveled over half a million miles expounding the gospel of democracy.  Sometimes the message is given in educational courses to universities and teachers' institutes; sometimes in addresses to religious or labor organizations, chambers of commerce or civic leagues; sometimes in courses of lectures on city or national affairs and lectures on democracy in literature and life to potential citizens in women's clubs; sometimes in civic revivals reaching whole communities.

The last two decades have witnessed the greatest advance in popular government America has known and the greatest expansion of democratic faith the world has known.  To quicken this cosmic faith and to quicken those practical steps is the aim of Charles Zueblin.
