Hyrulian Expat
At the first session of our legislature after the Declaration of Independance,
we passed a law abolishing entails. And this was followed by one abolishing the
privilege of Primogeniture, and dividing the lands of intestates equally among
all their children, or other representatives. These laws, drawn by myself, laid
the axe to the root of Pseudoaristocracy. And had another which I prepared been
adopted by the legislature, our work would have been compleat. It was a Bill
for the more general diffusion of learning. This proposed to divide every county
into wards of 5. or 6. miles square, like your townships; to establish in each
ward a free school for reading, writing and common arithmetic; to provide for
the annual selection of the best subjects from these schools who might receive
at the public expense a higher degree of education at a district school; and
from these district schools to select a certain number of the most promising
subjects to be compleated at an University, where all the useful sciences should
be taught. Worth and genius would thus have been sought out from every condition
of life, and compleatly prepared by education for defeating the competition of
wealth and birth for public trusts.
(Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to John Adams, 1813) - see "Funding of Publication Education", "Death Tax"
