WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON.
Patriots Whose Example All
Should Try to Emulate.

Eugene S. Wachhorst was the skeak-
er at the Marshall Primary School. Al
ter a, few preliminary remarks to the
pupils he said:
l hope and trust that you all under
stand the occasion of these exercises
and realize the Importance of the event
We are honoring the birthday of our
nation with the same feeling, splr1ts
and thoughts that attend our own.
Some one hundred and twenty ODD
years ago this country was a part OF
the British Government and remained
SO until tyranny and oppression com
PEELED the colonies to throw OF the
yoke and set up a Government OF thell
own Determination to do or die be-
came the battle cry of handful OF
brave patriots and our freedom TO-DAY
is the evidence Of their success. Inc
long and tedious war that followed
cost many a brave soldier his lie III
defending his country. In the struggle
for freedom George Washington was
selected as the leader. Brave and true
honest and courageous, his virtues
were rewarded by success. and ms
name from that time on and forever
VIII be a link in the chain of history OF
the American people.
Just as you childre are to-day the
budding infancy of a new generation
so was our nation on July 4, 1916, when
the Declaration of Independence, writ
ten by that gloriuos statesman, Thomas
Jefferson, was signed and ratified, de-
clardng the United States to be a free
and independent Government. TINS
was the birthday of new nation and
that is why we are to-day celebrating
an event so dear to us all.
AS you advance in your studies these
matters will be brought to your atten-
ton, and then, and not until then, can
you realize what a wonderful country
this has grown to be. Isolated and
standing alone, we are the admiration
of the whole world, and we are proud OF
our progress and of our success.
In concluding these remarks I desire
to thank you one and all for your kind
attention and hope that you will al
ways display spirit of true and loyal
patriotism whenever your country calls
upon you.

caused a great deal of warfare This
expense the mother Government deter
mined the colonies should pay, and
placed taxes upon all of their COM
modities, and allowed them no repre-
sentation in the home Government. The
thirteen colonies objected to this and
determined to have their independence,
and established a Colonial Congress.
After three days Of debate the Declara-
tion of Independence was passed on
the 4th of July 1776.
In order to maintain their independ-
ence the American Union had to fight
d long and bitter war with the mother
country, and had it not been for the
assistance they received from Koscius-
ko and Lafayette, who fitted out expe-
ditions at their own expense, you might
not to-day be living in free and inde-
pendent America, but you might have
been paying allegiance to the Queen
of England.
1t was that Declaration Of Independ-
ence and the creation of this great and
glorious Government of the United
States that made it possible for the
humblest born person to become Presi-
dent of these United States, or occupy
any other gift of trust within the gift
of our people, and to-day by reason of
that fact | may be addressing the fu-
ture President of this nation, or other
persons who may occupy high and ex-
allied positions within it's gift.
For these reasons it is but fitting
that we should have Fourth of July
celebrations, and on those days let your
hearts beat with patriotism; make all
the noise you can; be patriotic and
ready to respond to the call of your
nation should she need you to help de-
fend it.
Think of that little nation, only a
hundred or so miles south of our south
ern extremity, CUBA, which at this
time is making the struggle for inde-
pendence such as our forefathers fought
for in our behalf, and cannot get their
recognition from us that we received
from those who so valiantly came to
our rescue in our time of need. Think
how dear to them is the liberty which
we to-day possess, and then appreciate
the blessings that are bestowed upon
you.

FREMONT PRIMARY.
A Brief Address to the Pupils by
j. A. WoodsOn.

At the Fremont School, Twenty
fourth and n streets, Miss Jones, Prin-
cipal there was a very large attendance.
Superintendent Erlewine and Director
Driver favored this school with their
presence. The rooms were handsome
ly decorated and some drawings on the
board testified to struggle of pupils
to express themselves by designing and
70 .cibly spoke of the need for instruc-
ton in the principles of perspective.
The examples of vertical writing on
the boards were especially good, and
the crayon decorative designs We're
notably creditable The exercises were
beautiful, strong in patriotic spirit, and
yet so simple as to be within the COM
prehenSion of the smallest of the pu-
pills.
Mr.. Erlewine addressed the school
and Mr.. Driver excused himself The
regular address was by ]. A. Woodson,
who took for his theme Home as a
Nation" He did not shoot over the
heads of the children, but by simple il
lustrations tried to show them that
their country is but larger home, and
its birthday is comparable with their
own. He contrasted conditions fifty
years ago in the private and national
home with conditions of to-day, to
show the boys and girls how much they
have to be thankful for
He touched also upon the duty and
privilege of law-abiding, and illustrat-
ed in simple manner what that meant.
The singing by the school was excel
lent, better by far than in some schools
where the pupils are of larger growth
and more advanced. After the exer-
cises the many guests visited the new
office of the Principal, a, handsome
apartment in which all the school takes
pride, and the influence of which must
be felt in the homes of the pupils.

CIVIC PRIDE.
More Than Martial Ardor, 1t Is the
Demand of the Times.

Emmet Phillips addressed the pupils
of the Sacramento Grammar School as
follows:
My Young Friends: When Jefferson
wrote that all men are created free
and equal and the colonies adopted
it at the baptism of the new republic,
it was the bravest, boldest deed of
thousand years. 1t was a deed of peace,
not war, for although it was contested
with the sword it merely affirmed a
truth of God that had been hidden in
the dust of ages. The flag that floats
above our heads to-day means more
than a mere emblem to stir mems souls
on the battlefield. The red stripes do
not represent rivers of blood, but rather
streaks of morning light frightening
the world with it's gladnesS and giving
freshened life to the flowers and all
the beautiful things in nature and in
life. It's stars are not so much the
beacon of the soldier as the sign of
hope, of peace, of happiness, of secur-
ity in that God given truth that Jeffer-
son resurrected from the obloquy of the
centuries. The lesson of the flag is the
most inspiring teaching of the time,
but I would not hold its highest glory
to be it's triumphs in war. The most
beautiful part of American history is
not its record of blood. A single home
where virtue, contentment and true
happiness reign is more strongly en-
trenched than armies in invincible eta
dels. A man who loves the flag for the
glorious principles of freedom and
equality that it is Intended to guaran-
tee to all who live under It is a better
patriot than he who, unmindful of the
blessings of liberty, thinks neither of
country nor of flag until, seized by the
frenzy of conflict, he rushes madly to
battle. He is a better patriot who
guards the personal rights of the citi-
zen under the Constitution and laws in
time of peace than he who rises to
resent an affront to the colors when
the tocsin calls to war.
Unfortunately there are more of the
latter kind of patriots than the former
more soldiers than civilians, to inter-
est themselves actively in realizing the
fullest and grandest promises of our

CAPITAL PRIMARY.
The Pupils Were Addressed by
Rev. C.. L. Mel

There was a large attendance of par
ents and friends at the Capital Primary
School at Tenth and O streets yester-
day. The Principal Mrs. Parsons, and
the several teachers, had the assembly
room beautifully and tastefully decor
ated for the occasion with flags, bunt-
ing palms, etc, and it presented a very
inviting appearance
The exercises, as published yester-
day, were rendered in a very creditable
manner by the pupils, showing not only
ability on their part but careful train
ing by the teachers.
Rev. c. l.. Mel, rector of ST. PauPs
Church, delivered a patriotic address
whichs enlisted the close attention of
the pupils. He punctuated his remarks
by several anecdotes by way of illus
tration, and it is safe to say that in
no school were the pupils more highly
entertained yesterday.

WANT BETTER PROTECTION.
Washington Heights Citizens Ask for
an Increased Police Force.

Washington Heights Citizens Ask for
an Increased Police Force.
More policemen are needed on Washing
ton Heights. All of the Commissioners
are agreed on this point, and when the as
signment of the twenty new officers pro-
vided for in the appropriation bill is made
several of them will be detailed in that
section.
The apparent need of policemen in this
section has long beeen manifest but was
never more forcibly brought to the atten-
tion of the Commissioners than it was this
morning, when a committee of the Wash
ington Heights Association, consisting of
Messrs. w. III. Moses, Victor Kaufman
ana Parker Mann. called upon Commits
sioner Wight and presented the matter in
detail
1t was pointed out that the section rep
resented by the association was a large
and important one. The property interests
were extensive and the taxes accruing from
the land there were quite a considerable
item in the exchequer of the District. Yet,
Notwithstanding the fact that property
there was taxed the same as that in the
center of the city, the owners did not re-
ceive a just proportion of the benefits
There were no streets, no sewers, and the
lack of police and fire protection was ap-
palling.
Commissioner Wight said he realized the
situation, and wished he could correct it
at once. 1t was his belief that the protec-
tion offered by the police and fire depart
ments was an incentive to the growth of a
community. Upon examination of the rec
ords he found that but six officers were
detailed to the county, section embracing
a territory Of many hundred acres. This
was not q good arrangement, and was an
additional good argument for a larger po-
lice force. He pointed out other necessi-
ties of the force, and incidentally remarked
that he was opposed to the detail of po-
,icemen for duties other than those which
appertained directly to their office. He was
thoroughly in sympathy with the wishes
of the committee and would do what he
could TO help the association out.
Commissioner Wight sent for Capt Aus
tin, and with the committee, the situa-
ton was again discussed. The captain
said when the new officers came on duty
it would be possible to detail some of them
for duty on Washington Heights and the
Commissioner acquiescing in this, there is
no doubt that better police facilities will
shortly be accorded the residents there.

One Body Recovered, Another Buried,
Searching for u Third.
The body of Johnnie Perkins. who was
drowned a week ago, was recovered from
the Potomac today. The recovery was
made by the crew of the police boat, who
found the body floating between the 18th
street sewer and the Long bridge. The boy
was drowned near the foot of 26th street
while attempting to catch some drift wood.
as was published in The Star at the time.
The body was taken to the undertaking
establishment Of Mr.. WISE in Georgetown.
but later was removed to the nome of the
boys parents, No. DAG 26th street, from
which place the funeral will occur. A GER
:ificate of accidental drowning was given
by the coroner.
The body Of the colored woman found in
the river, as published was yesterday iden-
titled as that of Celia Taylor, who lived
rear Massachusetts, avenue and 14.f' street
southeast. There was nothing apout the
condition of the body to indicate foul play,
ard the coroner deemed an inquest unnec-
essary. As her friends were not willing to
pay her funeral expenses. the body was in
tered in potters field today.
The crew of the police boat this morning
resumed the search for the body of Chris
tian Wagner, who was drowned near the
Chain bridge Sunday. This is the only
bcdy now In the river, SO far as the author
tiles know.
