Genet, the French minister, who
had attempted to appeal to the
American people over Washing
tons head, was sent home. But
by his wisdom Washington finally
settled all Of these questions to
the satisfaction of his own coun-
try and TO all of the world, and,
although at that time he had no
presidents to guide him, he passed
into American history as First
in war, first in peace, and first in
the hearts of his countrymen."
Not only did Washington gain the
approval of his own people, but
foreign nations respect and revere
his memory.
Washington's Farewell Address
left with us advice with which to
successfully work out our future
happiness. With the intention Of
injuring France, the British issued
two orders which threatened
American commerce and it
was then that Washington deliv-
cred to Congress the first message
for American preparedness, when
he declared:
There is a rank due to the

United States among nations
which will be withheld, IL not alb
solutely lost, by the reputation Of
weakness. IL we desire to avoid
insult, we must be able to repel 1t.
If we desire to secure peace, one
of the most powerful instruments
OF our prosperity, II must be
known that we are at all times
ready for war"
This doctrine was put into prac-
ice as late as during the time Of
Grover Cleveland and Theodore
Roosevelt and both Of these Presi-
dents were enabled by following
Washington advice, to keep the
country out of war.
In his Farewell Address Wash
ington besought the people to
avoid future entanglements with
foreign powers and In summing
up these dangers he said:
Against the wiles of foreign
influence, l conjure you to believe
me, fellow citizens, the jealousy
of a free people ought to con-
stantly awake; since history and
experience prove that foreign in
fluence is one Of the most baneful

CITIZENS SEEK
SCHOOL PROBE
Federated Civic Bodies Ask
That Education Board
Be Elected.

A Congressional investigation OF
the local public school system, as pro-
posed by Senator Harrison OF Missis-
sippi in the Senate yesterday. Is
favored by the Federation OF Citizens
Associations.
After more than two hours debate
on present unsettled conditions In the
schools, the federation, at a meeting
in the board room OF the District
building last night, voted In favor OF
such an investigation.
Delegate George Wales offered the
motion TO indorse Senator Harrison's
proposed probe. 1t was In the form
OF a substitute for resolution
brought in by the school committee
OF the federation, which also asked
for a Congressional investigation, but
dealt more directly with the night OF
the school board on Mr.. Thurston-
Split On Resolution
Following the reading Of the resoiu-
ton, the delegates divided into fac
tons. one favoring the resolution and
the other Directing to it on the ground
that the federation should not act on
the controversy between, the school
board and the superintendent, until
the question was brought into the
federation by a member association.
After a lengthy debate. Mr.. Wales
proposed as a substitute for the school
comittee's recommendations an in
dorsement of Senator Harrison's reso-
luton.
The vote was Is to 10 in favor OF
backing Senator Harrison's plan or
investigation. Delegate william
NICK. Clayton moved that the vote OF
the Harrison plan be made unani-
nous, and the motion was carried.

said:

she was an infant her parents took up
their residence in Zacualpan, Mexico,
where they remained for a number OF
years. During that time the little
girl learned TO speak Spanish well,
and It was only after her parents re-
turned to the United States that the
little girl was trained in her mother

breathing came heavily and fast, as
II she had been frightened by mon
strous demon such as only inhaoi's

Hazel was the little fairy queen
who was rudely aroused from her

sudden intrusion of the strange crea-
ture from the world of fact who
came to inform her that she would
receive 5000 for having written the
best George Washington essay.
Gasping for breath and searching
for something to say, the little girl
succeeded in finding words that might
approximate the bewildering thoughts
that went scurrying through her
mind.

Again, he said:

or q very remote, relation. Hence
she must be engaged In frequent
controversies, the cause OF which
are essentially foreign to our con-
Germs. Hence. therefore. II must
be unwise for us to implicate our
selves by artificial ties, In the
ordinary Vcissitudes OF her poll
tics, or the ordinary combinations
and collisions of her friendship or
enmities."
Then again, he said:
why forego the advantages OF
SO peculiar q situation? Why quit
our own TO stand upon foreign
ground? Why. by Intervening
our destiny with that OF any part
of Europe. entangie our peace and
prosperity in the tolls OF European
ambition. rivalship. interest, hu-
NOR, or caprice"
AS to dangers within the nation,
he declared.
"It Is important. likewise, that
the habits OF thinking in free
country should inspire caution in
those intrusted with its admins
tration, to conflne themselves
within their respective constitu-
tional spheres, avoiding, In the ex-
ercise of the power OF one depart
ment, to encroach upon another.
The spirit Of encroachment tends
to consolidate the powers Of all
of the departments In one, and
thus to create, whatever the form
OF government, q real despotism."
Today. the most pathetic part in
this immortal address are the
closing words uttered when Wash
ington retired from the scene and
left 1t to future generations to
work out Americas destiny:
In offering to you, my country
men, these counsels of an old and
affectionate friend, l dare not
hope that they will make the
strong and lasting impression that
I could wish; that they will con-
troll the strong current OF the pas
sions. or prevent our nation from
running the course which hitherto
has marked the destiny Of nations,
but II I may even flatter myself
that they may be productive of
some partial benefit, some occa-
sional good, that they may now
and then recur to moderate the
fury of party spirit, to warn
against the mischiefs Of foreign
intrigues, to guard against the i'm
pastures Of pretended patriotism,
this hope will be full recompense
for the solicitude for your welfare
by which they have been dictated"
What the country needs today
Is for us to 20 to the tomb Of
Washington, and from there take

The Relations Of the Leading Eu-
ropean Nations Toward the
United, States During Washing
tons Time.
HAZEL ]. SCAIFE.


George Washington was made
President of the United States IN
1889, being reelected in 1872.
The foreign relations at that
time were rather unsettled. The
Secretaries of State during Wash
ington's administration were
Thomas jefferson, Edmund Ran
dolph, and Timothy Pickering.
Later, owing to q controversy be,
tween President Washington and
Randolph, Randolph was forced to
resign.
Between France and the United
States there existed q very friend
ly feeling during Washington's
first term. During his second
term, France declared war on
Great Britain and Holland. Wash
ington, backed by the Cabinet, re-
solved to remain neutral. Mean
while. the French Revolution was
becoming a serious matter, caus-
ing a great deal Of misunderstood
ing and trouble.
Old differences and embitter-
ments between England and the
United States, caused by the Revo-
luton, were slowly subsiding, but
there was still a decidedly un-
friendly feeling between. the two
nations. Knowing the weakness Of
the Articles Of Confederation,
Great Britains refused to send a
minister to the United States, dis
trusting the Constitution. Gouver-
neur Morris was sent to settle the
differences.
Spain seemed to be on unfriend'
Iy terms with the United States,
too. At first, during the Itevolu-
tioh, Spain sided with the (clc-
MES, but later refused to help
them. After the war, the Spanish
officials feared the effect that he
democratic Americans would have
on the people of the Spanish
possessions in America. Spain
then owned Louisiana and Florida,
and strips Of land along the Gulf
of Mexico. The Spanish govern
ment withheld the rights IN navi-
gate through Louisiana from the
citizens of the United States. The
officials offered various excuses
for that law, but their secret hope
was that the Western inhabitants
would become dissatisfied, and
separate from the Union. Then
Spain could easily get control over
them.
During Washington's admins
tration the final treaty with Great
Britain was ratified after a long
and bitter political fight. and the
relations between this country and
France, which had so lately as
sisted us in gaining our indepen-
dence, became so strained that two
of the American representatives to
France were recalled, and M.
