Rev. A. C. Herrick talked on the life,
character and influence of George
Washington.
Seven traits of character were singled
out, his honesty, industry, courage,
unselfishness, patriotism, hopefulness
and goodness. These seven traits, like
the seven colors of light, blended most
beautifully and harmoniously.
He gave a description of the early
years of the lad, of his fathers death
when George was II years old, of his
skill in riding a horse thus preparing
him to go among the wild Indians of
the West. At the age of 10 he was en-
ployed in surveying and kept at this for
nearly three years.
AS Commander-in-C Chief of the Revo-
lutionary Army for eight years Q775-
1888 he would not take penny for his
services. He was elected President of
the United States April 6, 1850, and
again in 1893. He is a fine Illustration
of the success of genius allied to moral
power. He never doubted but what vic
tory would come to the struggling thir-
teen colonies.
Mr.. Herrick closed with telling of a
visit he made to the home of Washing
ton at Mount Vernon. What a view
there is from the piazza of the Wash
ington mansion.

c. NJ. Harrison addressed the school.
He said he would try and bring his re-
marks within the comprehension of his
young audience, and in so doing he re-
ferred to the home training of Wash
ington. under the care and guidance
Of a Christian mother; that the grandest
and noblest of Americans had been be-
reft by death of his father at an early
age, and it was probably well for the
country if either parent had to be taken
that it was the father, for the mother
might have been better fitted to train
up young Washington in the principles
of right and justice than the father
would have been, and the teachings of
devout and conscientious mother leave
the most lasting impressions. He brief
ly alluded to his early manifestations
Of a love of fair play among his play
mates, and the good will in which he
was held by them, and spoke Of his
rapid advancement in the esteem of his
contemporaries; of his perseverance un-
der difficulties, and the final triumph
of the American cause, under his guild
ance, backed by the courage and self
sacrifice of his countrymen. After build
ing up monument of his good deeds,
Washington was represented as passing
behind it from mortal view, and if this
be death, said the speaker, then Wash
ington died in the last month of the
year and the last year of the last CEN
tury. But his name will remain with
US forever. His deeds, his worthy deeds
have rendered him immortal; when
thrones, kingdoms and principalities
have moldered into dust, eternity itself
shall catch the glowing theme and
dwell with increasing rapture on his
name"

A hurried and interesting account of
Washington's life was given, and the
most salient points were referred to in
The speaker gave a concise outline of
the condition of the country previous
to the French and Indian war, which
was pleasantly and forcibly set forth.
During this war Washington first came
te public notice. and it was the first act
in the drama of his life.
From the French and Indian war to
the War Of the Revolution was but a
step in our country's progress. In this
latter conflict Washington was a cen
tral figure, and it was owing to his fidel-
ity and answering patriotism perhaps
more than to anything else that we
gained cur freedom and independence. a
proud herftage that wenow enjoy.
After this war the Nation with one
voice proclaimed our hero and leader
President Of the United States 1t was
a just reward of a. grateful people to the
worlds greatest General.
The speaker then referred to the
Washington Monumept, the highest
structure in America. He hoped that
the children present might some day
have the opportunity of seeing 1t. 1t
would surely impress them with the
fact that the American people duly rec
ognize the life efforts of so great man.
In closing, the speaker advised every
hoy and girl to study the life of Wash
ington in its minutest detail, for it was
one of noble inspiration, self-sacrificing

Life of Washington.
At the Washington Primary School,
Miss NJ. L. Woods, Principal, the pro-
gramme as published yesterday was
carried out in good style, the room being
packed.
Superintendent Howard addressed the
class at the close of the exercises. He
stated that it was difficult matter to
know lust what is best to say to classes
of the ages represented. 1t was not his
intention to make an address. but would
endeavor to talk to the children about
Washington, and if he could encourage
one child to read and study the life of
the one whose name we honor to-day he
would consider his effort well rewarded.
He regretted that he did not see the
companion picture of Washington,
namely, Lincoln, for when we think OF
one we should remember the other. He
hoped that when the next memorial ex-
ercises are held the two portraits may
be represented. The speaker then COM
nared the character. and works OF
washington and Lincoln. The former
was instrumental in creating our form
Of government; the latter defended it
AGAINST dissolution and established
freedom where slavery had existed 1t
might be said, therefore, that Wash
irgton was the father Of his country
and Lincoln the emancipator.
The speaker then drew a contrast be-
tween the conditions and surroundings
Of the children present with those of
the pioneer days. He drew mental
4,icfure Of the schoolhouse where he re-
ceived his first lessons in patriotism.
He stated that his reason for doing this
was that the children Of to-day might
better realize and appreciate their ad-
xantages. Patriotism should be con-
fued TO no class or conditions, but
should be found in the hu1nblest home
ard rudest schooIhouse. A book en-
fitled s.The Life of Washington was
s,ixen the speaker when he attended his
first school. When it was presented to
him his teacher said: 4 trust that the
one 10 whom this is given will read it,
read it again, and then study it.. He
aid read it again and again, and then
studied it. AS a result of this reading
he felt that in his childish imagination,

complimenting them on their perform
ance and then giving them, in plain Ian
guage suited to their capacity, little
sketch of Washingtons life Among
other things, he said:
Why do we Americans of the United
States set aside this day and make it a
holiday? Why do all the people of this
great Union of nearly seventy millions
of people take such pride in observing
the day as one to be fondly remem-
hered? Why does California make it
one of her legal holidays? 1T is be-
cause on this day we honor the birth
of that good man, that brave patriot
and great leader, George Washington,
who was born just 174 years ago. and
who fought the battles of his country
that a free and Independent nation
might be formed, in which the people
might govern themselves by making
| their own laws independent of King
or crown.
In all history KNOW OF no character
whose life and service to his country
are more beautiful or more deserving
the close study and reflection of all
mankind. In his youth he was a model
boy and young man, and one whose ex-
ample should be followed by every
American boy. He had not the advan-
tages of schools that boys have in these
| days of universities and colleges and
public schools. He got the little learn
| ing he had in the small country school
near his own home, and as much as he
knew when his left his books to fight
the battles of his people was little

LEARNING PATRIOTISM.
lcOntinued from Fourth Page,

CHOSEN TO carry them out for US. Our
l.fst duty in patriotism, then, is to obey
ene laws and respect its officers, from
poIcernen to Judges, from Governor to
: Tresident-not for the men, but for the
places they fill for us.
But just obeying and respecting are
not enough. Patriotism makes us de-
lend our laws and country and all its
institutions, by which we mean our
schools. our right to enjoy life, to be
lnee and to have our liberties. So if any
one attacks our country and tries TO
break it down and destroy its institu-
tions and prevent US making such laws
as we wish, and from choosing our own
oIl1cers; or tries to take from US our
property or territory or say to US that
we shall not live in a way that suits US.
patriotism makes US rise up in resist
ance.
