Mr.. Bucks address was substantially
as follows:
The character of George Washington
furnishes practical study. Each of us
may be as noble. Nine elements of
this grand life will claim our attention.
He was eminently a self-made man.
What of school advantages he missed
were supplied by close personal appH-
cation to private study. He was nota-
bly, industrious and methodical Early
to bed and early to rise was one of the
rules that made him wise. He said he
accomplished much work in the early
hours while others yet slept Wash
ington was a man of dignity. He would
not receive any snubbing from the Brit
ish General. Howe, neither would hesub-
nit to have the American army treated
discourteously. A proper degree of self
respect was always maintained with
out undue rigidity. He was heroic
Bravely did he carry forward, in spite
of all opposing obstacles, any work
which was committed to him. His per-
ilous journey in 1853, from lie Boeuf
near Lake Erie, to the capital of Vir-
ginia, is a memorable instance of hero
ism.
Washington was a well-balanced
man. All the elements of his nature
were under good control. Though his
feelings were intense, all his passions
were subordinate to good judgment.
Very rarely did he display anger. Even
then he did not take the name of God in
vain. He usually excelled in patience
when he had most reason for disgust.

Ghent, and that Madison, Adams, JEFF

illustrious patriots of the Revolution
had thought as to what was the best
course to pursue in selecting an execu-

fell upon Washington And when four

matters it became necessary to select

and made brief address, but said that

of Washington, and the time should, he
thought be devoted to them. Superin-
