however. He was no orator. And
the few times he attempted to
speak in public he always carried
his manuscript with him. There
was one time when he attempted to
make a speech without his manu-
script and failed, sitting down
without giving his message.
Jefferson had founded the Uni
versity of Virginia, and the enter
prise was fairly under way when
some of the students were guilty
of gross misconduct.
Jefferson believed in the honor
system. He founded the public
school system of America on this
idea. He had such faith in human
itv that he believed if the scholars
we're not too much interfered with
that they would do what was right.
best and proper. Jefferson believed
in the divinity of the child. His
faith was in the demos"
Jefferson said. THAT country is
governed best that is governed
least"
He believed in doing away with
corporal punishment. He did not
believe in the death sentence. He
did not believe in slavery. and by
his will all of his slaves were
freed. And these slaves he had not
bought: they came to him by in
heritance and We're a part of his
family.
But on the particular occa sion in
mind, when the bows had forgotten
their better manhood and had Wis
tied an indignity in the way of 'haz-
ing on one Of their members. JEFF
ferson appeared in the assembly
room Of the college and asked the
principals permission to speak to
the boys. He began by saying.
Young gentlemen. you are sons Of
virginians" here his voice faIt-
cred. he hesitated, again tried to
speak, and, bursting into tears, sat
down
Nothing that mortal man could
possibly have planned could have
been more effective. His possible
word of rebuke to the students. was
unuttered but every one in the
room who had anything to do with
the particular misdemeanors was
Inundated. abashed and undone
Jefferson always enjoyed good
health. and even in his old age, aft
er his eightieth year, natHrs>was-
kindly. for Jefferson was a worker
and thinker to the day of his
death. Jefferson was always gentle.
always considerable. He founded no
Ansnias club He once said. NO
man is so wholly right that he can
say that any one else is wholly
wrong"
If ever a man grew old grace
fully, that man was Thomas Jeffer-
son. His hope for the race. his
faith in the plain people never falt-
cred
What this country must do is to
catch up with Thomas Jefferson.
