his interview with the French commander he
started for home. The journey back was
worse than going, for the rivers were exceed
ingly treacherous The French governor re-
fused to heed English commands and continued
to build forts, so George Washington APP
pointed to command soldiers to march against
the French in the spring. This was the begin
ming of war between the French and English
which lasted seven years. Gen. Braddock was
sent over from England and George was made
a colonel and commanded the Virginia troops.
Though Braddock was a capable general, he
did not understand the art of fighting the In
dams and refused to heed young Washington's
advice. The general was shot in one of these
engagements. With this the Redcoats began
to run, but Washington tried to call them back.
All day he was in the midst of the fight. Four
bullets went through his coat and two horses
were shot under him.
The war at an end, Washington returned
home. He was anxious to see his mother, whom
he had not seen In some time. Though Mrs.
Washington was not brilliant woman, she
had plenty of good judgment and common
sense, and was always ready to give her son
wise counsel Proud though she was of her
boys energy and desire to serve his country
she was careful not to spoil him by excessive
praise. She loved to hear of the hazards of
war but she emphasized the dangers more
than her boys success.
Hardships and long-fought campaigns had
done much to impair his health, and he went
to Williamsburg to consult a physician, On
this trip he met Mrs. Martha Custis, widow OF
Daniel Parke Custis, one of the wealthiest
planters in the colony They were married
some five months later. Very little Is known
of her except that she was petite, pretty and
exceedingly devoted to her husband, She was
very proud of his successes and used all her
energy to make his trials as easy as she could

il was in 1920 which scorns to connect itself
with old world titles and abhors royalty, there
remain many liberal souls among us who do
not grudge to one who was acknowledged first
in war and first in peace a share in the homage
accorded the first family of England.
Edward |. was himself mighty warrior and
first in many wars; his prowess was early exer-
cised on the Turks, during the last crusade
ever embarked on by England's kings, and
when the throne became his own he success
fully carried out his project of uniting England,
Scotland and Wales. He brought the famous
stone OF Scone to Westminster abbey, and
under him England became mighty nation

he had little leaning toward democratic govern

That this direct line of descent has not until
now been established may seem a bit surpris-
ing In view of the exhaustive research that has
been devoted to the Washington ancestry The
reason Is, however, not difficult to understand
when one reflects that such research has been
concerned exclusively with the male line while
this royal blood is introduced into the family
by Margaret Butler. who married Laurence

Mr. Worthington Chauncey Ford and others
who have made special study of the Washing

exercise ana HllIe SCHOOLING. GEORGE loved to
tramp across the fields forests and to swim
in the streams His education was gained at
a country school where he was taught for three
hours day. Limited as his education was,
he was fond of reading and he had q book
into which he copied everything he wished to
remember In this book he put many rules
which he himself had formulated. These are
only few of the many:
Labor to keep alive in your breast that lit

Lawrence one of the half-brothers had been
sent to England to school, and the parents
had planned the same for George, but the
father died suddenly, and Mrs. Washington
realized she could not afford to send him across
the ocean. The boy had spent considerable
time on the wharf and talking to seamen had
awakened desire for adventure. These sto.
ries created desire to earn living as sail
or and he suggested II to his mother. Mrs.
Washington did not like the idea of having
George leave home nor did she approve of his
career He was sent back to school to study
surveying When not studying he was training
his company of boys to become soldiers, and he
often got very impatient when they made mis-
takes.
Shortly after his brother Lawrence had mar
ried the daughter of Lord Fairfax a member of
this family took a great interest in the boy.

not really important that this question
be decided. Destiny planned a certain
line of work for both men, and they did
that work well. Their innate ability is
only partly responsible for their sue
cess; 1t was their unselfishness and de-
sire to do well whatever they under
took which helped them to succeed
where others might have failed. If Lin
colin deserves praise because necessity
spurred him on to greatness, Washing
ton deserves as much credit because he
became great without being driven on
by necessity. Destiny demanded a
double role of Washington-she made
him soldier and a statesman, and he
performed both well. His trials as
president were almost as great as those
he encountered as commander.n-chie
