THOMAS JEFFERSON
AND PUBLIC EDUCATION
Thomas Jefferson was perhaps
our first American statesman to
make “education by the state,”
a fundamental doctrine of our
political belief. The old system
of education was founded upon
the premise that “education was
primarily for the benefit of the
individual.” Accepting that doc-
trine, we could not tax everybody
to secure funds to educate the
masses. The new conception of
education, which was proclaimed
by Jefferson is that a4l the peo-
ple will tax themselves for the
purpose of securing funds to ed-
ucate all the children in order
that the welfare of all may be
preserved and perpetuated. This
{conception really means that
the leaders of a democratic gov-
ernment should always consider
first the problems of providing
adequate educational facilities
for all its citizens because the
general welfare and perpetuity
of the nation depends upon the
education of all its citizens.
With Jefferson liberty was a
passion. It was the fundamental
thought of his life. In all his
writing and planning, “liberty
for all” was his big objective. He
advocated and worked for a sys-
tem of education for all the chil-
dren so that liberty might be
gained, safe-guarded and pre-
served.Dealing with this thought
in his autobiography we find the
following sentence, “And the
people, by the bill for a general
education, would be qualified to
understand their rights, to main-
tain them and to exercise with
intelligence their parts in self-
government.” And in a letter to
Mr. Wythe, dated August 13,
1786, he wrote: “I think by far
the most important bill in our
whole code is that for the dif-
fusion of knowledge among the
people. No other sure foundation
can be devised for the preserva-
tion of freedom and happiness.”
Jefferson, in proclaiming the
new conception of public educa-
tion, was indeed the builder of
a state on a sure and lasting
foundation.
Jefferson’s program of educa-
tion included: First, a system of
elementary schools all over the
state within reach of all the
children. Such schools were to
be free and were to provide com-
petent instruction in reading,
writing, common arithmetic and
general geography. Second, a
college within a day’s ride of
each home where would be
taught ancient and modern lan-
guages, higher arithmetic, geog-
raphy and history. These insti-
tutions were to be maintained at
public expense and students
from among the poor, who show-
ed aptness of judgment and cor-
rect disposition, were to be
selected. Third, a university in
Which should be taught all the
sciences in their higher degree.
It was not until the end of his
life that he saw the realization
of the third part of his program.
If the maintenance and per-
petuity of our nation depends
upon an educated electorate as
taught by Jefferson, why should
we not, during this critical pe-
riod, do everything possible . to
see that public education is car-
ried on in an efficient manner.
Let us again emphasize the fact
that the future of our nation
depends upon the education of
all its citizens. Yes, it will cost
money to provide adequate edu-
cational facilities for all the chil-
dren, but, in the words of Jef-
ferson, “the tax which will be
paid for this purpose is not more
than the thousandth part of
what will be paid if we leave the
people in ignorance.” — Repro-
duced from the Congressional
Record.
Higher education has been
available to women of the Unit-
ed States for just 100 years and
it may be remarked that oppor-
tunity first came to the sex not
in any specially set-up institu-
tion for women alone, but in a
college that threw its doors open
to both men and women. This
was Oberlin College at Oberlin,
Ohio.
With that beginning, co-edu-
cation in the universities and
colleges of the nation spread in
order until by 1862 many col-
leges and universities, especial-
ly those of the west, were open
to women as well as men. In
fact, this experiment that was
made 100 years ago at Oberlin,
in progressive acceptance, has
changed the educational order in
the United States to the point
at this time of seeing co-educa-
tional schools heavily in the ma-
jority among institutions of
higher learning, with 1008 of
14S0 institutions of this charac-
ter co-educational. 227 admit-
ting men only and 255 devoted
to the exclusive training of wo-
men.
As early as fifty years ago, or
almost fifty years years ago, in
1890, one out of every three stu-
dents in universities, colleges
and professional schools of the
United States was of the gentler
sex, with 102,618 men and 53,-
831 women enrolled. Nor has
this difference been tempered in
any way since, save for a slight
increase in the ratio of women
students enrolled in the school
years of 1929-30. In Missouri this
ratio of the sexes comes even
i nearer to a level, with 16,111
men and 9764 women attending
college classes the year of men-
tion.
Of course, it would be difficult
to measure the result of this
growing trend expressed by wo-
men seeking higher education by
counting women who have suc-
ceeded to the practice of vari-
ous professions, the physicians
and surgeons, engineers and at-
torneys and so through the list.
But possibly a glance at the list
of male and female professors
and instructors in these same
institutions of higher education
may suggest the picture: In
1890 little more than 13 per cent
of college and university teach-
ing staffs were women, while in
1930 the percentage was some-
thing higher than 20. — Saint
Louis Globe-Democrat.

EVERLASTING EROSION
DOLLARS COME HOME
Trace the course of a dollar,
spent for property improvement,
repairs or replacement.
Part of it goes to local mer-
chants, who provide the needed
materials. Another part goes to
the workman on the job.
The workman spends his part
for the necessities of life. The
corner grocery, the drug store,
the department store get it —
and through them it goes to
their employes, to the farmer
and the manufacturer. Then the
circle begins again—the money
enters new pockets, passes thru
other industries, travels to other
sections of the country.
The part of the dollar going
to the store providing the sup-
plies follows much the same
course. It pays the store’s work-
ers. It pays bills. It goes to fac-
tories to purchase new stock.
From the factory it goes to other
workmen, to related industries
supplying rav; materials, to in-
vestors.
And, at last, the dollar comes
back, through one channel or
another, to the original spender.
In a short length of time that
dollar has had a thousand uses.
It has done the work of a thous-
and dollars.
That’s the beauty of money
which is actually circulating—
it is used* an infinite number of
times, and it does as much good
each time.
Now is the time to obtain
needed repairs at the lowest cost
in decades—and at the same
time do your bit in fighting de-
pression.
Jobs are cheaper than charity
—and without the jobs, there
won’t be anything for charity.—

Mount Everest still raises its
29,000-foot crest in the air, a
patch of grouna never pressed
by the foot of man, the latest
British expedition having re-
turned with its object unaccom-
plished. The story is much the
same as that recounted by the
parties that set out for the sum-
mit in 1922,1924 and 1930. Storms
and wintry conditions were too
much for the explorers.
But the feet of man will some-
time press the pinnacle which
Has for eons defied all feet ex-
cept that of the. angels. Mount
Everest is not a fixed principle.
It is subject to the vicissitudes
of time, to earthquake, to ava-
lanche, to erosion. Man is stead-
ily gaining conquest over the
world, and Everest is steadily
losing height. Sometimes man
will conquer the highest terres-
trial summit, and sometime that
summit will be level with the
surrounding plain. We may not
live to see such a come down for
the proud peak, yet the come-
down will come. The decline is
inexorable. Everest is mighty and
so far has prevailed over man.
But man is ingenious and Ever-
j est is not eternity. There are
1 only two eternities within the
| grasp of finite conception. Those
| are space and time, neither of
which has beginning nor end-
ing, and together they are iden-
tical in terms of the eternal.
Everest occupies space, a quite
limited space, and is a monu-
ment to time. Its age is beyond
the hazard of geological esti-
mate, yet it fails to share with
time and space the quality of
eternity. Some day, within eon-
an duration, what was Mount
Everest will be a-level with the
circumjacent terrain, perhaps a
glacial lake, a depression instead
of a rise. Time, the unthwarted,
will work that transformation.
Vineyards now climb and grapes
now cluster upon the sides of
Olympus, where the ancient gods
held rendezvous. Olympus has
not appreciably been reduced,
but erosion has not neglected it.
Sometime the throne of the
mythical Zeus will merge un-
marked into the footstool of the
living God.—LaGrange Journal.

THE NEW ALMA MATER
The new state aid law passed
by the last legislature contains
some provisions that are of im-
mediate interest to patrons who
want to transfer their children.
All transfers must be made by
August 1. The state proposes to
transport high school students
whose grades are not taught in
their home districts to accredit-
ed high schools. The state allows
$2 per month per child for this
purpose.
Are we to assume from this
that high school students will be
relieved of their responsibility
for getting to school? Why not
leave that responsibility where
it belongs, on the student and
the student’s parents? Why not
save $2 a year on him and at the
same time teach him that the
state is not a wet nurse? Some
great educations were obtained
by men and women who, as boys
and girls, trudged through flood
and snow to schoolhouses miles
away from home. Perhaps we
owe contemporary youth more
than was ov/ed to their forbears.
But we may be paying the young
in the wrong coin. We may be
teaching them to let the tax-
payers look out for them—when
everybody knows the taxpayer
can hardly look out for himself.
A boy walking three miles or five
miles to school learns things
8long the way. The same boy
riding to school in a bus may
learn something about the bus,
but little else. It is bootless to
discuss matters of this sort, how-
ever. Our state and nation have
definitely chosen to stand to old
and young in loco parentis The
government has become our pa-
rent, mama and papa in one.
Perhaps it is better so. The gov-
ernment is not all-wise, but lots
of us are so foolish we do need
looking after as long as we live.

DANGERS TO BE AVOIDED j
Writing in his magazine, The
New Outlook, on certain phases
of the new Industrial Control
Bill, Alfred E. Smith states that
he has always advocated govern-
mental supervision of business
when public interest demanded
it, but that he would be unfav-
orable to a permanent policy,
which would tend to make us
all civil servants of government.
The industrial control bill was
passed as an emergency meas-
ure, and has much to recom-
mend it. It is an aggressive at-
tempt to give legitimate business
a chance to get on its feet. It is
true that as civilization grows
more complicated, a broader so-

cial control is necessary—but
the line must be drawn between
a policy which supervises busi-

one which makes government
the main player in the game.
Undoubtedly the administrators
of the new bill have these pit-
falls in mind.
