To THE surER1xrExpExrs AND TEACH

To THE SUPERINTENDENT AND TEACH
ERs OF THE SCHOOLS OF KANSAS:
Your attention is earnestly solicited to
the following appeal for Kansas memo
rial at the home of Washington.
One hundred and forty-five years ago
Mt. Potomac received its
name. General Washington came into
possession of the estate in 1852, and held
it forty years At his death, in 1899. it
was in perfect repair. and its improve
ment and adornment had been his special
pride.
When purchased by the Mt. Vernon
ladies' association. in 1859, time the neg
lect had reduced it to sad state of d.
lapidation.
This association consists of one lady
from each state, chosen by the regent
and confirmed by council. They hold
by deed the mansion, grounds, out-build-
ings, wharf, tomb and two hundred acres
of land. The work of restoration has
been carried on by the vice e-Regents of
the various states, some of them furnish
ing rooms in the mansion, and some of
them renewing colOnnades and out-build-
ings. Last year Missouri fenced and
stocked the deer park, and the school
children Of New Orleans rebuilt the
summer house.
By request of the council, the vice
regent for Kansas has undertaken to re-
store, this coming year, the only build
ing now in ruins. This was a brick
structure used as servants quarters. 1t
was destroyed by fire in 1885. These
ruined walls, crumbling and moss grown,
are seen from every point in the rose
garden, where visitors congregate. They
are near the carriage entrance, and are
the first objects that meet the eye on en-
tering the grounds from the public road.
To restore this building will cost at
least twelve hundred dollars The plans
call for work of the most permanent
character, to be done under the super
vision of the resident superintendent
1t is proposed to raise this amount in
the schools of Kansas, both as a trophy
OF her wonderful growth and progress:
and also as an educational stimulant in
history and patriotism to the youth under
your care. A tablet will be placed in the
walls of the building marked Restored
by the Schools of Kansas
This amount may be raised by a special
effort on Washington's birthday, either
by program of declamations and songs,
patriotic and historical, or simply by con-
tributiOns. An order of exercises apprO-
pirate for the day will be published in
the Western School Journal for January
1t is requested that the names of all
contributors, with the number of the
school district and county be forwarded
with the money. These names will be
enrolled in book which will be kept at
Mt. Vernon.
All moneys contributed should be sent
to Mrs. J. NJ. Ward, viceregent Ottawa,
Kansas, who will receipt for same The
amounts received from time to time will
be published in the Ottawa Republican.
1t is hoped that every superintendent will
bring this matter before the teachers OF
his or her county, and that each teacher
will cordially aid in this work.
Trusting that the effort may be sue
cessful, both in securing the amount
needed and in awakening an interest in
the character and home of Washington.
am very respectfully yours,
Mrs JENNIE NJ WARD,
Vice-Regent for Kansas
