Myles Horton pursued a truly democratic society through the practice at the Highlander Folk School. In search for a better way of educating people, Horton came across Bishop Grundtvig's ideas of Folkehojskole and were greatly influenced by him. Horton himself says in his paper, ".. .it was not his educational ideas, but Bishop Grundtvig himself that attracted me." In this paper, I study Grundtvig's ideas of Folkehojskole and see how they influenced Horton's ideas of folk school, so that I can reconfirm the modern meaning of Grundtvig's philosophy. This is one of a series of my work tracing the thinkers who influenced Horton's philosophy of adult education. First, I roughly trace some thinkers who had influence on Horton in accordance with his life history. Secondly, I review Grundtvig's ideas of Folkehojskole together with their historical background in Denmark. Thirdly, I study what Grundtvig's ideas meant to Horton and consider why Horton was disappointed with the folk highschools after Grundtvig's days. Finally, I study the modern meaning and the universality of the ideas of Grundtvig and Horton in relation to the popular education in Latin America.
