ness general, and what Is the lesson?
You will find George Washington
coping with the same problems, much
the same conditions, the same oppor-
tunities, the same obstacles, the same
loyalty andenthusiasm which he
found at Valley Forge and at Stony
Point.
And furthermore, you will find him

same maneuvering, the same march.

case may be, that confronted our

human nature, and while there may
be surface changes, while :hae outer
shell may appear vastly different, the
child is but the father to the man.
Read carefully the life of George
Washington as a soldier. Read of
the masterful methods he employed
to so handle his organization that he
did business where his competitors
fell down time and time again. And
as you read Of George Washington,
the soldier rnd statesman, think OF
George Washington, the business
man. Every act in his fight for the
independence Of the colonies. is a1
lesson to business men. He realized
at the outset that big things can be
done only, by big organizatons-no
man is so big that he can undertake
great work single handed. He fore.
saw. what business men are only now
to see-that the one man
concern has run its course.
Washington knew that a hundred
different. armies under as many dit
ferents commanders could never whip
England. He knew that we could

Judge who had seen service in the
Confederate army followed me and he
started off with an emphatic and
heartfelt Endorsement Of everything
that had said. So it was everywhere
II had to take a hearty laugh with
an ex-Confederate at Little Rock. He
told me how that as boy he had
been taught one southern soldier was
as good as three northern, and he
went into the war with that notion
firmly fixed in his mind. But | tell
you, he said, before l got through
found one was all l wanted to take
care of. and I was perfectly willing
that if he'd let me alone, I'd let him
alone We had great meeting at
