Jefferson believed that in educating the people, the government also have a better future. He stated that <em>"Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories. And to render even them safe, their minds must be improved to a certain degree"</em>. And in his<u> 1787 letter to Uriah Forrest</u>, he wrote<em> "And say, finally, whether peace is best preserved by giving energy to the government or information to the people. This last is the most certain and the most legitimate engine of government. Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them. And it requires no very high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."</em> He was <u>also credited with the system of public education</u> in the American nation that proposed and now put into use the three stages of education- <u>primary, intermediate, and university system of education.
