HAS INSPECTED HOMESTEAD

Il regard as peculiarly appropriate
the projected reproduction of Mount
Vernon as Virginias exhibit at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition" said T.. s.
Winston. member of the board of
visitors OF Mount Vernon, yesterday.
such an exhibit, in my opinion. Will
be far moro distinctive than any in
dustrial or commercial display that
could he assembled and transported
across the continent with the limited
appropriation that the State has made
for this purpose"
With the other members Of the
Mount Vernon board of visitors Mr..
Winston visited Washington's home
on Wednesday,. and made an inspection
OF the homestead. 1t WIS the first
Official visit OF the board since it's ap-
pointment recently by Governor Stuart.
II was particularly impressed with
the stewardship of the women OF the
Mount Vernon Association who adj
minister this patriotic charge said
Mr.. Winston. They have left moth
ing undone to reproduce faithfully at
Mount Vernon the very atmosphere
which one feels must have surrounded
1t when ii was tho home OF Wash
ington. They are continually adding
to the store OF relics and are acquiring
articles Of furniture and wearing ap-
pnrel used by Washington as fast rs
they arc offered for sale.
INSPIRATION TO SET FOOT
IN THE HISTORIC HALLS
ut Is nothing less than an inspira-
tioa to set foot In the halls which
century ago echoed to the footsteps
of the Father of His Country. The
furnishings arc the same that Wash
ington knew. and everywhere are per-
sonal relics intimately associated with
his long public life
while l do not believe that It IS
possible to create another Mount Yer
non or to transmit it's hallOwed atmos-
phero to the other side OF the CONT
nent, do believe that faithful re-
production of the Washington home
stead-a}ready known to every Amer
lean through picture and storv-will
be welcomed by the country at large
as the most distinctive contribution
Virginia could have made to Il national
exposition. To thousands OF Arncrl-
cans who must live their lives away
from virginia, visit to tho replica of
Mount Vernon at San Francisco will
bring the same thrill OF reverence and
patriotism that we ourselves feel when
we behold the shrine on the Potomac"
Nj. winston expressed his deep graf
itudc TO the patriotic women who have
watched over Mount Vernon and pre-
served II for tho nation. Tho WORK,
they have done, he said could hardly
have been accomplished through n dt-
rect administration by either the State
OF Virginia or the Federal government.
There would have been lacking. no
thought, the immediate personal Inter-
est which has bound the Mount Yer
non Association to Its great activity
