Beginning with the earliest pioneers,Americans have always highly valued their freedoms,and fought hard to protect them.And yet,the author points out that there is a basic freedom which Americans are in danger of losing.
What is this endangered freedom?For what reasons could freedom-loving Americans possibly let this freedom slip away?And what-steps can they take to protect it — their fifth freedom?
The Fifth Freedom by Seymour St.John
More than three centuries ago a handful of pioneers crossed the ocean to Jamestown and Plymouth in search of freedoms they were unable to find in their own countries,the freedoms of we still cherish today:freedom from want,freedom from fear,freedom of speech,freedom of religion.Today the descendants of the early settlers,and those who have joined them since,are fighting to protect these freedoms at home and throughout the world.
And yet there is a fifth freedom — basic to those four — that we are in danger of losing:the freedom to be one's best.St.Exupery describes a ragged,sensitive-faced Arab child,haunting the streets of a North African town,as a lost Mozart:he would never be trained or developed.Was he free?"No one grasped you by the shoulder while there was still time; and nought will awaken in you the sleeping poet or musician or astronomer that possibly inhabited you from the beginning." The freedom to be one's best is the chance for the development of each person to his highest power.
How is it that we in America have begun to lose this freedom,and how can we regain it for our nation's youth?I believe it has started slipping away from us because of three misunderstandings.
First,the misunderstanding of the meaning of democracy.The principal of a great Philadelphia high school is driven to cry for help in combating the notion that it is undemocratic to run a special program of studies for outstanding boys and girls.Again,when a good independent school in Memphis recently closed,some thoughtful citizens urged that it be taken over by the public school system and used for boys and girls of high ability,what it have entrance requirements and give an advanced program of studies to superior students who were interested and able to take it.The proposal was rejected because it was undemocratic!Thus,courses are geared to the middle of the class.The good student is unchallenged,bored.The loafer receives his passing grade.And the lack of an outstanding course for the outstanding student,the lack of a standard which a boy or girl must meet,passes for democracy.

这是什么威胁的自由?究竟是什么原因可能热爱自由的美国人可能让这个自由溜走?什么,他们采取的步骤可以保护它-他们的第五航?
第五自由的西摩圣约翰
三个多世纪前的先驱少数越过了海洋自由搜索和普利茅斯的詹姆斯敦,他们无法找到自己的国家,我们仍珍惜今天的自由：免于匮乏,免于恐惧的自由,言论自由,宗教信仰自由.今天,早期移民的后代,那些谁也加入他们,因为是战斗,以保护这些自由在国内和世界各地.
然而,有五分之一的自由-基本前往上述四-我们正面临的危险：自由是人的最好的.圣埃克苏佩里描述了一个衣衫褴褛,敏感,面对阿拉伯儿童,困扰的北非城市街头丢失莫扎特：他永远不会接受训练或发展.他是免费的吗?“没有人抓住你的肩膀,而仍有足够的时间,以及你将化为乌有唤醒沉睡的诗人或音乐家或居住天文学家认为可能从一开始你.”的自由是人的最好的是每个人的发展,他的最高权力的机会.
怎么,我们在美国已经开始失去这种自由,以及如何才能恢复我们民族的青年吗?我相信这是从我们开始下滑,因为三个误解了.
首先,民主的含义的误解.一个伟大的76所高中的校长驱动哭打击的观念,这是不民主的运行一个优秀的男孩和女孩进行研究的特别程序的帮助.同样,当一个好学校在孟菲斯独立近日关闭,一些令人深思的公民要求将其接管公立学校系统男童和女童的能力强,有什么入学要求,并研究了先进的程序所使用的优势谁的学生有兴趣,并能抓住它.该提案被否决,因为它是不民主!因此,课程的内容切合类的中间.好学生质疑,无聊.他的浪子收到及格.而一个优秀学生的过程中缺乏优秀,一个标准,一个男孩或女孩必须符合缺乏,通过民主.
