Sinopsis

Excerpt from Thomas Jefferson's Birthday: Program and Selections for Its Celebration, Wednesday, April 13, 1910, in the Schools Alabama

Ican imagine no event which can be more appropriately celebrated in the schools of the State than the birth of Thomas Jefferson. His work for the cause of education, for the uplift of the masses, his statesmanship, his patriotism and prophetic vision have made the South, especially, what it is in an educational way. Let us do him honor.

Jefferson wrote his own epitaph and it is inscribed on his tombstone at Monticello. It reads as follows: Here was buried thomas jefferson Author offithe Declaration of 'american Independence, of The Statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia.

On the bit of paper upon which Jefferson had written the inscription that he desired on his monument was added the fol lowing sentence.
