The ability Of little folks to arrive at log
ical conclusions was well illustrated in a
Lawrenceville primary school recently. A
teacher In one Of the lowest grades had been
impressing the meaning Of easy fractional
terms upon the minds Of her little pupils.
Her statements were clear and so easily COM
pretended that even their infantile intellects
seemed to grasp all that was given them.
One little fellow, however, was little slow,
and the teacher repeated her explanation for
perhaps the fifteenth time Holding up four
pennies by way Of illustration, she said

WASHINGTON TAKING THE OATH.

United States of America, the oath to sup
port the constitution of the United States :"
Chancellor Livingston administered the
oath in slow, distinct words. When the BIZ
BILE was raised, and as Washington bowed to
kiss it, he said, gravely: II swear" adding
fervently, with closed eyes, 80 help me-
God"
ut is DONE" said the Chancellor; and
then turning to the spellbound throng be-
low, he exclaimed Long live George
Washington, President of the United
States!" This was the signal for the out
burst of pent-up joy and patriotism A
hurricane of shouts rent the air, and with
the waving OF flags and banners lasted for
several minutes A flag was Immediately
displayed over Federal Hall as a sign that
the ceremony had been performed, and in
simultaneously all the bells in the city rang
out triumphantly, while cannon doomed
from fort and fleet in every direction.
Washington bowed low to the vast, cheer
ing assentblage, and then retired to the
Senate chamber, where he delivered a
short inaugural address remarkable for its
modesty, dignity and wisdom.
After his address, President Washington,
attended by the ce-President Chancellor
Livingston, Cabinet officers and other Ag-
nitaries, went to st PauPs Chapel, where
prayers were read by Bishop Provaa,t spe
of the chaplains of Congress. Tho cndfch
was crowded, and the services very i'm
pressive. After they were over the Presi-
dent was escorted to his residence. In the
evening the city was brilliantly illuminated,
and the people, who usually retired early,
sat up until late hour talking about the
event of the day which crowned the man
who was first in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his countrymen"
