SHRINE

rus. NllildIh IL. l'diId, a
daughter of Henry w. Long
fellow, has made a recent re-
quest which should. arouse feel
ings of gratitude in every true
American heart, SAYS the Bis
marCk Tribune. She aims to
make the historic Craigie house
on Brattle street, Cambridge, a
shrine whose significance will
be recognized from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, for in it will
center memories of the poet
himself. There the author Of
The Psalm of Life,' Excel
%sior,' "Evangeline,' 'Hiawa-
tha,.' THE Courtship of Miles
Standish,' and scores of others
whose titles are household
words throughout the nation,
will be given a fitting and most
dearly cherished memorial.
Also the house was the home
of Washington for almost a
wear and Martha Curtis Wash
ington, his wife, bore him com
pany there from December,
ITS to the time of the depar-
tSns Of Washington from Cam
bridge }SNew York in March,
1916. Within rus walls were
assembled at differenttin7res-2l-
most all-if not all-of the men
who were making history in
and about beleaguered Boston
in those stirring times. Add
ed to these is the fact that the
building itself is one OF the
very best instances of colonial
architecture in the country, so
there Is additional reason tor
national gratitude over Mrs.
Dana's generosity.

~S)et IN 1900, .l..I. was a nation
wide effort made by the school
children of Americ to purchase
land in front of the estate so
that there might be an unOb-
struCted view down to the river
Charles and, at the same time,
there was a quasi promise that
the place would be thrown
open to the people at some flu
ture time. Teachers and pupils
were admitted to see where the
poet read and wrote, and thous-
ands were enthused at the
sight. The gift promises much
to the boys and girls of the flu
ture, as we'll as to the adults.
1t will give to the CnitedStates
a Mecca something like that
which England has at STRAIT
ford-on-Avon, where the spirit
of her greatest bard has been
conserved to the literary lovers
of a later generation sthrough
the preservation .of his home
and the cherished relics of his
occupancy. In these : days,
when people worship at so
many false shrines, it is we'll
that u young people, as well
as their Seniors, should have
their thought directed to the
never-failing course of a great
inspiration, the home of a pure
and great man, who cultivated
and cherished the life of the
spirit.
