There are men in' Washington today, he de clared, whose patriotism is not shown but who accomplish great pa triotic things. They are staying in .

(mat-acterlxing Thomas Jefferson as the "original progressive." Secretary Daniels said President Wilson, v itli the oxcaption of Madison and Monroe, was more like Jefferson than any other man who had occupied the White House. Jefferson, the secretary said, was well known a'i thc father of the Un iversity of Virgina, "and if lie hud no other title to fame, his conception of what a State university should be, an 1 his carrying it out in 'the university he founded, would give him a title that could not bc invalidated.'' Virginia delayed long In establish ing i system of education upon Jef ferson's ideals, said the -ecretary. and he deemed that due quite as mut h to the fact that population In Virginia was widely scattered as to the fact that large numbers of influential lead ers did not have the vision to seo that the prosperity of the whole people was dependent upon the education of the whole people. "The aristocratic element in Vir ginia militated against Jefferson*!! Idea and the indi, -t rial conditions" of an agricultural state also militated against it." said Dr. Daniels. "If Vir ginia had had the wisdom, in spite of its spare settlements, to have adopted Jefferson's system In the full when he promulgated it, I believe the Old Dominion would have been KIO fold richer in wealth and would have ad ded to the primacy she enjoyed in the carly days of the republic."
