vance of Jefferson Week" and the
members of the various women's
clubs of the city cooperated in MAX
ing the meeting a success. Hon. Err
nest l.. Mclean presided at the meet
ing and in the course of his remarks
told of the way in which Monticello
came to be built. 1t was the result
of a boyhood vision. the vision of a
large castle upon that hill and when
he became a man. that vision re-
suited in Monticello.
After the opening Of the meeting
Mrs. Ernest Mclean gave a very in
teresting reading THE Ship of
State" This was followed by the talk
by DR.. Thomas.
In introducing DR.. Thomas, Mayor
Mclean said that it was very fitting
that such a great educator should
speak of Jefferson as he was one OF
the pioneers of education. In intro
ducing President Stills, Mayor Nc
Lean explained that as president OF
the oldest college in Maine it was
very appropriate that he should
speak at this time as Jefferson was
founder of the University of Vir-
China.

GREAT AMERICANISM OF THOMAS
JEFFERSON NOTED BY SPEAKERS AT
MEMORIAL MEETING AT AUGUSTA "Y''

Dr. A. o. Thomas in speaking Of
Thomas jefferson as an Educator"
Thursday evening at a Jefferson
meeting at the Y. NJ. G. A. said, 'An
epitaph written by ones own hand
should not only represent that
achievement which the man himself
belicd to be his browning accomplish
ment, but. the life motive which was
behind It. Jefferson Is one OF two
presidents Of the United States whose
tomb does not reveal the fact that he
once held the office which is the high
est gift OF the people of the govern
for his own tomb the following; Au-
thor of the Declaration Of American
Independence: of the Statute of Vir-
ginia for Religious Freedom and Fa-
Their OF the University of Virginia.
Because Of these, as testimonials that
I have lived, wish to be remember
ed"
Jefferson believed in his fellow
men but he also saw with clear vision
the great task confronting the infant
democracy and the dangers which
would beset It," He knew the welfare
of governmental ideals was bound to
come. 1t did come and was fought
out on the fields of France and Flan-
GERS, ana only then was the world q
safe place for democracy"
No golden eagle glittering from
the stamp Of the mint ever bore the
impress and tina inscription of the
great die which fashioned It, to great
er extent than did the destiny Of the
new republic. bear the impress Of the
wisdom, foresight and personality Of

that. In q monarhcial form Of govern

statesmen OF his day planned and had
brought into being. every child was
neir apparent to the throne OF Amer

After writing the Declaration Of
Independence, Jefferson hurried back
to Virginia and offered himself as q
candidate to the House Of Burgesses

with clear intent of writing into the
constitution of his state the princi-
pies of the Declaration. of Indepence.
He offered a scheme of education that
has never been equalled in the scope
and definiteness of its ideals. 1t in
cluded q scheme of public education
extending entirely from the primary
school through the university. Jeffer-
son Is virtually the father of the pub
lie school system of America"
The speaker told of Jefferson's con-
cral government Of the Ohio Survey,
the Louisiana Purchase and the Oregon
territory. and of the great state uni
versities like Michigan, Illinois. Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas. Nebraska and others which re-
suited from his efforts for the recog-
milton of the need Of better education.
HE believed that il was the duty of
the United States government to con-
tribute financially to the states in sup
