Like SO many of our great men,
George Washington came from a
little town. This particular little
town was named, Pope's Greek and
was near Bridges Creek in Vir-
ginia. Here he was born on Feb
ruary 20, 1882. His family was an
old, aristocratic one and his an
cestors knew where they came
from and when they came from
there, which is always sign Of
aristocracy. A certain John Wash
ington, came from England to Vir-
GINA in 1857, and that was the first
appearance Of the Washingtons in
America.
They soon moved to an estate on
the east side of the RappahannOck,
opposite Fredericksburg, Their
other house, the one where George
was born, gradually fell into decay.
When a small group Of influential
Americans went in 1878 to search
for the spot, SO as to erect a mem
orial, they could only find tho re-
mains Of the large kitchen chimney.
Liked Surveying Best.
1t was here on the Rappahannock
that George first went to school in
a little old school house where the
sexton Of the parish, man named
by the very interesting name Of
Hobby, was his teacher.
Then George went back to his
former home on Bridges Creek to
live with his half-brother. There
he attended a school which was
kept by a Mr.. Williams. Here he
was able to take a little surveying,
which he liked better than any Of
his other studies.
He left school when he was six
teen years old.
In all his copy books, he was
very careful to practice a neat,
clear and elegant handwriting, just
as If he foresaw that some day it
would be used to sign some Of the
most important papers that were
ever drawn up.
Gives Up Sea Life.
George was very active and took
part in every kind of vigorous ex-
ercise and athletic sports. He al
ways liked to play soldier, and
when the boys played this, he was
always determined to be captain.
Running, leaping and wrestling
were among his favorite pastiraes.
He enjoyed riding, too, and it is
said that no horse was ever too
fiery for him.
He was always a great lover Of
justice, even from his Arst school
days, and often acted as umpire in
the disputes of his comrades.
Life thus went on in rather mo-
notonous manner, until George be-
came about fourteen years old.
Then a crisis came in his life,
which almost took our first national
hero and made first class English
sailor out of him.
Lawrence, his half-brother, who
had served in the English Navy,
and who had noticed Georges lik-
ing for everything that was mill
tary, thought it would be splendid
for him to be in the English navy.
So Lawrence, in 1746, secured a
mid-shipman's warrant for Gorge.
Gorge was delighted and was all
ready to embark, when his mother
demonstrated with him 90 earnest
