Smith, Ralph A.
Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education, n93 p1-16 Sum 1987
Argues that excellence in art education is not elitist, but that commitment to excellence is a traditional democratic value. Elaborates by describing the nature of beneficial elitism. Concludes that a synthesis of beneficial elitism and beneficial populism are required for the success of art education in a democracy. (BSR)
