Possessed as he was with the
idea Of freedom, he was not
satisfied with political and re-
ligious freedom only, but all his
life he had In his mind q sys-
tenn of education which would
reach all the people and bring
to them the fundamentals and
later the embellishments Of q
practical and ranging culture"
JefferSon's fight for his uni
verSity was conducted wholly by
correspondence. This CORE
spondence shows that "only
once did he leave his mountain
to plead for its establishment
and on that occasion nothing
that he said on the topic of the
meeting was so we'll worth re-
membering as his terSe, clear,
complete utterance on another
subject" This other subject
was the purpose Of public pri.
mary education.
is GOAL FOR OTHERS
At this meeting, which took
place in 1918 at Blue Ridge,
President James Monroe and ex-
President James Madison were
also present. At the little tav-
ern in the mountains where the
President and the two ex-Presi-
dents gathered, Jefferson had
this to say about the object of
free primary education under
the American system of govern
ment:
Il. To give every citizen the
information he needs for the
transaction of his own business.
"'2. To enable him to calculate
for himself, and to express and
preserve his ideas, his contracts
and accounts.
"S. To improve, by reading,
his morals and faculties.
-. To understand his duties
to his neighbors and country,
and to discharge with COM
petence the functions cOnfided
to him by either.
IS. TO know his rights; to
exercise with order and justice
those he retains; to choose with
discretion the fiduciary of those
he delegates; and to notice their
conduct with diligence, with
candor and judgment.
IS. And, in general, to observe
with intelligence and faithful
ness all the social relations un.
der which he shall be placed"
If the public schools Of the
United States today in every
State were teaching thoroughly
these lessons to every American
youth, the American people
would have less to complain
about government-Federal and
State-because their govern.
ment would never come under
the control of either pork-barrel
politicians or crack-pot theorists,
or the walking delegates Of spe.
cial privilege.

In the World of Science
By Hiram PERCY Maxim

all through the body. Just be-
fore it arrives back at the heart
it unloads it's waste material. It
still carries its load of carbon
dioxide.
The heart is a "two cylinder"
affair. One cylinder receives
the depleted blood and forces it
to the lungs. Here it is forced
through more fine capillaries
with ultra thin walls through
which it gives up it's carbon d.
oxide, which in turn is exhaled
with the breath.
After exhaling, fresh air is in
hailed, and the blood is brought
into contact with this air and
thereby picks up a load of fresh
oxygen. Thus "reserviced," it
passes back to the second pump
cylinder" in the heart, where
the force is applied to send it on
its long journey around the
body again. On the way it
picks up a fresh supply of dis
solved food material.
About one gallon of blood is
circulated in a man per minute.
The normal number of pump
strokes per minute is u. In the
big artery, close to the hearts
discharge, the blood flows at the
rate of about 80 feet per minute,
while in the fine capillaries it
moves about an inch per
minute.
INSPIRES AWE
The design of the entire ap-
paratus inspires awe in the
mind of the mechanical engi-
neer. Every contingency has
been provided for that past ex-
perience has indicated neces-
sary. To prevent backing up of
the blood due to bending and
straining of the body, little
check valves are provided.
The most wonderful perform
ance in this whole circulating
system, however, is the trans
ferring act which is executed
through the film that consti.
tuteS the capillary walls.
Man, in his mechanical and
chemical engineering, has pro-
duced nothing that compares
with it.

little should be heard Of the
paramount Importance of pub

At the round table discussions
on THE Church in Changing

regarding other matters have
been on the lips of more than
one speaker. At the round table
discussion on Mexico he was
quoted on both sides of one Of
the controversial questions con-

several illusions to the Virginia
Bill of Rights at other Round
table discussions.
jefferson was a firm believer
in public education. The pub
lie school system of the United

To anyone who takes the time
to examine his writings on the
subject it becomes convincingly

public education. Taking ad-

ministration, the State has al
ready erected public school
building of a value of $2,139,-
900. Within the next few weeks
additional school buildings of
the value of $275,000 will be
completed.
Over and above these amounts
for secondary education, $3,064,.
900 has recently been expended
for public institutions of higher
learning, including the Univer-
sity of Virginia.
These expenditures for Public
Education would have been re-
garded by Jefferson as a wise
investment for the State to
make. "The final great accom-
plishment of JeffersOn's life at
Monticello" writes Paul Will

him as much diversion and sat

he did. This was the OrganiZa-

White River-pkwy and Belmont-av,
Northwestern at Northwestern-av
and Fall Creek blvd, and the War
Mothers Memorial, at Cold Spring
I'd and White River, have been
added to the city's system during
Mr.. Sallee's term in Office and all
have become increasingly popular.
Other outstanding accomplish
ments between 1880 and 1884 have
been the building of the Garfield
Park swimming pool the improve
ment of the Willard Park pool and
bath house, the reconstruction OF
the Coffin golf colurse, now con-
sidered one OF the finest and most
beautiful public courses in the
country; the additions to Meridian
st and to Pleasant Run-blvd park
ways, the development Of Woollen'S
gardens north of Brendonwood, and
the construction of the Christian
Park Community Building.
Last year was probably outstand-
ing in the history of the depart
ment for the number and quality
of the additions to the system, the
report indicates.
Most of these improvements
would not have been possible with
out the aid of the Civil Works and
Federal Emergency Relief Admins
trations which provided the labor
for the projects, supervised by the
department personnel. Thousands
of men and trucks and other equip
ment were supplied to the city with
out cost.
one of the most important OF
these projects was the completion
Of five and one-half miles OF new
boulevards on N. Meridian-st, Kess-
ler-blvd. Pleasant Run Parkway and
other streets controlled by the de-
partment.
At the same time, the department
relinouished to the Works Board
the control of Maple-rd, Meridian
st south of Maple-rd, Capitol-av be-
tween Maple-rd and lost, and
Watson-rd from Winthrop to Fair
fieldaV.
The White River erosion control
project, undertaken with Federal
aid, brought about the improvement
and extension of the beach at Riv-
erside Park which is now one of the
finest swimming beaches in this
part of the state. The 14-acre Lake

structed on the Riverside nursery
grounds affording at the same time

a sanctuary for wild ducks and, in
the winter, skating rink.
The entire city has been beauti-
fed by the planting OF more than
$4,000 trees and shrubs of every
variety in the parks and along the
boulevard system.
For the past year the department
also has sponsored a tree planting
program for private lawns in coop
Grafton with the Indianapolis Gar
den Clubs. Countless old trees and
stumps were removed and replaced
through the use Of relief labor
under Park Department supervi-
sion.
Suggestions for the further beau
LITIGATION of the park system were
made by Mr.. Sallee at the conclu-
sion of his report. He recommended
the acquisition of lands on one or
both sides of Fall Greek from Key
stone-av to 56th-st, east of Millers-
Vile, for the construction of boule-
ward and scenic parkway to join
the new Kessler-blvd similar &C
QUESTION of land along Capitol-av
south to Indiana-av for the con-
struction of boulevard to connect
with the w. 10th-st boulevard past
City Hospital to White River and
w. Michigan-st bridge.
Also9 acquisition of land along
Fall Creek, south drive, Central-av
to College-av, to complete the
boulevard connection; along Little
Eagle and Big Eagle Greeks north
from w. Westinghouse for future
parkway; along White River, east
side, as far north as possible to
connect with Golden Hill and 38th-
st, and along Lick Creek and Pleas
ant Run wherever feasible.
This is part of a unified stream
control program.
The program also calls for the
construction of a centrally located
building for all park department
mechanical forces, permanent pro-
gram of planting shade trees on city
lawns, the dredging of Fall Greek
with construction of a series of low
dams between Maple Road-blvd and
NorthweStern-av and the landScap-
ing of the banks and parkways.
Mr.. Sallee stated that the Park
Board through economic reasons
had been compelled to forego many
needed improvements.
