FEBRUARY

FEBRUARY D-WASHINGTON'S
BIRTHDAY.
AS / sit in my room, a prisoner be-
cause of severe weather, and hear the
boys yelling and rushing up and down
the street because there is no school
today, on account of Washington
birthday being a school holiday,
feel provoked that our young people do
not devote the holiday to a study of
General Washington's life and charac-
ter.
The legislators who succeeded in get
ting the 22nd of February set apart
for this recognized purpose, never sup
posed that there would be so little
attention given to the study of General
Washington
Our young people should not only
learn of his youth-his early manhood.
but his patriotism-and especially of
his farewell address to the people of
the United States, whom he had served
so long and loved so well. Somebody
with influence and official authority
should make it understood that this
holiday privilege shall be withdrawn
if there is so little interest displayed
in the schools.
There are two names that will ever
be held in reverence and veheration
by the southern people-and both are
Virginians, namely, General Washing
ton and General Lee. They are much
alike in many phases of character, and
both were so careful of their own high
characters that they could stand erect
without fear and without reproach, in
the highest company. and be recognized
as men of Immaculate patriotism, who
never made their public regulations
subserve to their private gain.
General Washington has been recog-
nized for hundred years, at home and
abroad, as one of the few truly great
men, in any country He might have
been king in America when the Brit
ish troops were overcome, If he had
been a selfish or ambitious man. He
was the supreme leader for seven years
after the colonies revolted. In the time
of deepest gloom he could have worked
for his ambition with free hand had
he been so inclined.
The first president in office for eight
long years when this government was
emerging from a chaotic state, he
might have prolonged his authority al
most at will.
Shall we not emphasize the patriot
ism of Washington, and in this era
Of graft and worship of money, IA
miliarize the youth of the land with his
great name and services?
Why is it that the birthday of Wash
ington is not made a public festival,
not to eat or dring or carouse, but to
mediate on the greatness of his SER
vices? Are the good and great so soon
forgotten?
1 have visited Mt. Vernon several
times, and have been in the room where
General Washington died, and where
his wife also later died, where she
