SCHOOL CHILDREN OF t. S. TO
HONOR THOMAS JEFFERSON

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.--School chill
dren throughout the United States
will have the opportunity of partic-
ipating directly in the establishment
of Monticello as a national memorial
to its builder, Thomas Jefferson. Al
though Jefferson's widest fame rests
on his authorship of the Declaration
of independence, it is in commemora-
tion of his service in the cause of ed
ucation, as well, that the active CO.
operation of the school population of
the country is sought as a specific act
of recognition of his advocacy of un-
iversal education for all.
Edward F. Albee, national chair
man of the Thomas Jefferson Me-
mortal Foundation, which is raising
the $1,000,000 fund for the acquisition
of the jefferson home and its endow-
ment as national memorial, an
nounces that it is the intelligent shar-
ing by the school children of the
United States in the making of the
memorial rather than the actual
amount of money contributed by them
that is desired. Hence every child go
ing to school in the United States to
to be asked to contribute only one;
cent to the fund Mr.. Albee adds the
definite statesment that ''in no case
will an amount larger than five cents
be accepted from any school child; our
aim is to make all of them feel that
they are equal sharers in the gift of
Monticello TO the nation"
Already pledges of cooperation re-
ceived by the Jefferson foundation
from several of the states virtually

the government. For every IL per-
sons SO employed, one person is en-
ployed by government, federal, state,
county and municipal. The total
number employed by government, acc
ording to the figures Of the national
industrial conference board-employed
or paid, for the total includes pension
ers-is 100000, and they receive
from government, in round figures,
$4,000 100000 year. This repre-
sents tax of $34 a year on every
man, woman and child in the country.
Eliminating all but workers, the tax
on that class-for the single purpose
of meeting governments pay roll
rises to $91 for each person gainfully
employed. Other costs OF government
swell the total of taxation far beyond
this, of course.
With this condition existing and
growing, the time is at hand has
come, indeed-when Americans must
ask themselves whether the burden
of government does not, outweigh its
benefits. It's benefits as now bestow-
ed, that is, and at their present coss.
Government is a necessary and Salut-
airy institution, but when it abuses its
powers, transcends its legitiment func-
tions and charges for benefits it does
not provide, it ought to be checked,
rebuked and put back within its
proper. sphere. Government in Amer
lea is out of its bounds. It is no
longer a political institution, discharg-
ing duties strictly political, but has

into control and regulation of affairs
that do not concern it. That is why
it costs SO much that it threatens ulti-
mately to extinguish the national
wealth. The process must cease if
America is to preserve its liberties
from a form Of tyranny that never
yet in the history of the government
has been found compatible with demo-
cratic and representative institutions.

guarantee the active participation of
100000 school children in the Mon
ticello memorial movement as penny
contributors.
Another interesting feature of the
school plan, now officially announced,
contemplates a gathering of children
at Monticello during jefferson Me-
mortal week, April to 13. They
will visit this historic spot in indivii-
ual groups as the guests Of public
spirited men and women who will pay
all expenses.
The original suggestion for this
method Of participation by the youth
of the country in the Monticello me-
mortal came in an offer from a New
York merchant, David A. Amsbacher,
to take fifty children of the New
York schools on a little patriotic pill
grimage to Monticello, at his expense,
as a practical step in quickening the
interest of American youth in Amer
ican ideals. jefferson, frequently
called "the Father of the Common
School," was the first conspicuous
advocate in this country of free edu-
cation for ALL One writer says that
% MIN tHe ScHOol house WIS Tie
fountain-head Of happiness, prosperity
and good government and education
was holy cause He saw that de-
moeracy must rest upon the enlight-
enment Of the masses"
His state of Virginia was not, how
ever, ready to adopt the comprehen-
sive system Of education which he
embodied in bill s'for the Diffusion
of knowledge" which he introduced
The Coconino sun., 1924-03-14

in the legislature of 1779, four years
succeeded in establishing its indepen-
dence. The bill was overwhelmingly
defeated.
IF Virginia failed century and a
half ago in its appreciation of its first
great educator, the state is eager to
make amends and to record its tribute
to the man who in his epitaph put
down as one of the three outstanding
achievements of his life the founding
of the University Of Virginia. Gov
ernor E. Lee Trinkle is the leader of
the movement to enlist the participa>
tion of all school children of the coun-
try in the tribute to jefferson and
their enrolment as actual donors of
his home to the nation by the pur-
chase of penny shares in Monticello"
He has not only arranged with the
educational authorities of his own
state to set aside one hour ON the
afternoon of Friday, April II, in all
the schools of the state for the OBJ
servance of Jefferson's birthday,
which will fall on Sunday, April 13,
but has asked the governors of all the
other states to do likewise and to per-
nit the children of the schools to con-
tribute cent apiece on that occasion
to the establishment of the Monticello
memorial.
In his letter to the governors, Gov
ernor Trinkle says:
"H Monticello is to be an active
force in the development of American
ideals it is vitality essential to enlist
the support of the school children of
the entire country. Our advisers are
unit in the conviction that through
the school children the spirit of Amer
icanism can be more surely dissemin-
ated among the homes Of America
than in any other way.
'sIt seems to us that the proper
method to pursue is to give the school
children an opportunity to contribute
to the Monticello fund. So that all of
them in every state Of the Union can
contribute and thereby feel that they
are real sharers in the gift of Mon
ticeIlo to the nation, we believe that
their individual contribution should be
fixed at one penny--or such larger
sum not exceeding five cents as they
may desire to give.
"You see, Governor, it is not the
amount Of contribution that will count,
but the fact of actual participation.
This will be achieved by a penny sub
scription just as surely as by larger
contribution, and it will have the inn
mense advantage of permitting all the
school children even the poorest-to
partioipate--all on equal terms.
Governor Trinkle adds the request
that if state or local laws prohibit
the asking or making Of contributions
in the schools, the rule be suspended
for a period Of one hour on the after
noon of Friday, April IL, to permit the
school children to enroll as "penny
sharers'' in the gift of Monticello to
the nation.
The governors of number of the
states who have communicated with
Governor Trinkle have expressed their
cordial approval Of the Monticello
movement and Of the participation in
it by the school children. Governor
Geo. w. P. Hunt of Arizona has ap-
pointed committee Of representative
citizens, both democratic and repub-
lican, who are arranging for the school
children's observance Of Jefferson's
