from motives OF curiosity
Washington's dislike for slavery and
his humanity to his slaves are beyond
question. Nevertheless w find him
writing: And what sort of sickness
is Betty Davis? \ more lazy, deceit
full, and impudent hussy is not to be
found in the United States"
When Washington was elected pres
ident he wrote to Knox: In conf
dence, I tell you s. = = that my
movement to the chair of government
will be accompanied by feelings not
unlike those OF a culprit who is going
to the place of his execution"
Washington kept his hot temper un-
der iron control. He abhorred pro-
| family. And here are two touches of
| nature that make us all akin: At Mon
| mouth, finding the traitor Lee in re-
treat, he galloped up to him at full
| speed and swore at him until the
leaves shook on the trees y =
like an angel from heaven" In a cab
met meeting some one handed him a
cartoon representing him a being
publicly executed by the guillotine.
Jefferson thus writes of the scene:
"The president was much inlamed,
got into one of those passions when he
cannot command himself, a on to
,he personal abuse which had been
bestowed on him, defied any man on
earth 10 produce one single act OF his
since he had been in the government
which was not done on the purest mo.
tives; that he had never %repented but
once having slipped the moment OF
resigning his office, and that was
every moment since; that by God he
would rather be in his grave than III
his present situation"
Washington was no freak OF genius
springing to life full-armed for TIE
work to which he was called. lie was
a consistent continuance of the fam
lily pattern. He Increased in wisdom
and stature, ard in favor with Coo
and man" He grew, just as we al
grow.

house OF Burgesses that he could no

Washington's place in history has

This dedication of Washington is a

but rather gains in greatness, while
we gain a human Father of this Coun'

Of history, was as human as any sor

The proof that Washington was very

HOW TO BE AN INVENTOR.
One Must Approach Problem With ar
Open Mind.

a retired professor of mechanical en-
cheering was called upon to deliver n
few lectures on invention To the senior
engineering classes. His first injunc-
ton was that when one attempts to
devise n machine To do n certain thing
one must consider directly the funda-
mental operations TO he performed and
must wipe from the mind all existing
methods and all preconceived notions.
He stated that one so called inventor
attempted, I'm the days of the scythe.
to invent u moving machine Being
familiar only with the scythe. he de.
signed a horse drawn machine which
would swing n scythe. He simply re-
placed the man by n mechanism. II is
needless to say that his invention did
not survive. The problem of efficiently
cutting hay and grain was not success
fully solved until II was attacked by n
man with an open mind, and he de.
vised the knife Of the modern moving
