genius of balance. \ perfect equipoise
of powers which taken separately
would not be supreme. appears to be
the characteristic mark of this rare
variety of genius, which. among men
of action, is illustrated in Alfred, the
Great. and among men of letters. in
Sophocles. 1t is TO this class that
Washington belongs-to the class OF
men whose balance of faculties is so
serenely perfect as to constitute gem
ius of perhaps the highest order. II
such be the case, it is no wonder that
many of us who understand by genius
only the exceptional balance of facul-
ties, and not the exceptional balance
of faculties. should be misled into I'M
derrating Washington. and should ia
tuously apply the epithets common
place and ''goodygoody" to the no
BILE hero who headed and carried TO
success a tremendous revolution, and
laid broad and deep the foundations of
an empire. But what we may judge
more clearly in this important matter,
let us briefly review the stroy OF his
Iife-a story which has been told and
retold for a century, but which will
nevertheless be told and told again as
long as the world endures.
George Washington was born OF good
English stock in Westmoreland Coun-
ty, Virginia, February % 1882. His
father died early, but his mother, Mary
Ball, gave him an admirable training,
which was continued later by his elder
half-brother Augustine. OF actual
schooling he got little. save such as
sufficed to make him a practical sur
veyOr.
One can contemplate with pleasure.
