Interesting.

OF PENDING BILL

By Senators Curtis
And Phipps.

II was on a pleasant afternoon
in the summer when We undertook
an excursion to Mount Vernon. the
home of Gen. George Washington,
who is and forever will be known
in every Americans heart. The
excursion was composed of Mrs
Herman and Sirs. McClintock.
teachers, and about twenty-five of
the students of the Americanization
school.
We took the car at Twelfth street
and Pennsylvania avenue. The ride
on the car to Mount Vernon took
one hour and was fine and healthy,
because the windows or the car
were open and a draft with balmy
air went through the car. The
deep breathings of the air was a
good exercise for the lungs. 1 was
very interested to see plantations
and forests as we passed by them
on the car. But l could not see
much. because 1 stood on the plat
form of the car. The car was very
full, and went so swiftly that
hardly could keep open my eyes in
the swift draft
Then by 2:30 o'clock we passed
on. by the town of Alexandria.
Alexandria reminded me that 1 had
studied of the church in Alexan-
dria in which George Washington
used to worship. Then by 3 o'clock
we reached Mount Vernon and by
a short walk the home of George
Washington. We entered it happily
and with great interest. The gar
den was very beautiful and with
many beautiful flowers planted.
found everything in the home of
George Washington distinct as had
studied about 1t. We examined
everything closely. and when the
clock struck 5 We made our way
back. We came on n boat back
and had better comfort than on the
car. The trip was enjoyed by
everyone. We were glad that we
went because we learned much
about George Washington. and in
addition, became acquainted with
many.people from different parts of
the country and with different po-
sitions and ranks. which also mean
a great deal to US because we prac-
tice our English speaking and it
helps us much. Ever since we are
loking at the pictures which we
took at Mount Vernon and on the
boat.
