WAsHINGTON's BIRTHDAY

Washington's birthday gives splendid chance to public school teachers and all instructors of young pco- pie. They should make George Washington something than dull and shadowy figure of antiquity. which the children forced to learn about in books They should bring out all the marvellous of his char acter.
 As you read the salient facts in the story of Washington it almost unlikely the sensational stories you find in the old fashioned dime novel For he had to contend with obstacles that seemed impossible. He had to depend little ragged force of patriots, in harmonious quarreling with each other The soldiers often the point of quitting and going home.
 The country an impoverished group of frontier settlements Congress was cowardy and doubtful of it's authority and failed to give Washington decent support The army officers held this against their leader.
 Commanding but rag tag of an army. he yet struck conquering blow But most other great military lead CTS could not have done it. They would have lacked his superb gift for political cOncatiOn and organization. Somehow Washington took this impossible situation of chaos, and made cOnqnering army and nation of it.
 No other American, not even Lincoln. united all parties to the extent that Washington did, let his memory be kept alive and glowing in the hearts of the people, He of the great of the world Much of the security and prosperity of American life today is due to his genius.
