The Voice of Washington.

There are still living links that con-
meet the present with the personality
of George Washington. Rev. Dr. Rob
ert Collyer, who recently celebrated his
eightieth birthday, tells of very old
German whom he knew when he lived
near Germantown, Pennsylvania, some
forty years ago, and who, in turn, had
once seen Washington.
'.Well, Michael said his friend
Collyer one day, General Washing
ton was in these parts when you were
a boy. You didn't happen ever to see
him, did you?"
THAT / did, answered the Old man.
General Washington was riding
along a road, not street, not a mile
from here, and all we boys went out
to see him pass. We ran along beside
his horse. and I was one of the closest
70 him. For some reason the party
stoned. and General Washington DIS
mounted for minute. l stood looking
mn at him. He saw me, and put MS
hand on my head, saying:
you're Il fine lump OF Dutcn
boy"
This was not, of course, welghty
remark said DR.. Coliyer, in telling tue
story. ..but it seemed to me- at the
time. that the words had leapt across
tbe interval of sixty years ana hdu
come direct from the lips of Washing

known that many thousands of persons
came to st. Louis for the express purpose
of attending the convention.
Festival Hall has a seating capacity
OF about $500, but had the hall been
several times as large it would not have
accommodated the crowd. Educators
from every portion of the United States
and many from abroad constituted the
vast throng that endeavored to find en-
trance to the hall, and the musical pro-
gram that was arranged as preliminary
to the convention was continued for some
time after the hour set in order to permit
the delegates to arrange themselves COM
fortably.
The convention was called to order by
President John w. Cook, who is presi-
dent of the Northern Illinois State Nor
nal School, DeKalb, Ill. He introduced
the first speaker, w. I. Darlington. sup
erintendent of public instruction of Mis-
souri,, who welcomed the educators to
st. Louis and to the exposition. A sec
ond address Of welcome was made by
G.. NJ. Woodward, president of the ST.
Louis Board of Education.
The next speaker was L. Louis Sedan,
superintendent of public instruction Of
st. Louis While Mr. Sedan was speak
ing Mayor Rolla Wells and President d.
r. Francis entered the hall. Mayor
