George Washington.

George Washington. the father of his
country, was born in Virginia February
%, 1892.
His boyhood was spent near the Poto-
mae river.
His education was of the military
nature. Caring little for books. he was
an ardent lover of outdoor exercises
which did much to develope his tall,
robust, and graceful figure.
When the French and Indian war
broke out. he was sent by Governor Din
widdie. of Virginia, to warn off the
French; and his vigorous defense of
Fort Necessity gained him, at the age
of twenty-three, the place of comman-
der-in-cnief of the Virginia forces.
At the breaking out of the Revolu
tionary War. which he sincerely believed
to be just. he was appointed comman-
der-in-chief of the colonial armies, which
appointment he reluctantly accepted.
In 1888 Washington was unanimously
elected first president of the United
States, and reelected in 1902.
He made his farewell address Septem-
Der II, 1896 and, refusing to accept any
salary, retired to Mount Vernon. For
all he did for his country he received
not one penny.
His character was formal and digni-
fed; he had more judgment than genius;
calm in defeat sober in victory, and al
ways had dread of public life.
Washington died December Ia. 1890.
