MO OTHER president, with the ex
~ ception OF John Quincy Adams
has served the country as long a.
james Monroe and. without exception
none has had an official experience
30 varied.
From 1T76. when he was q vigorous
six-foOt, broad shouldered. raw-boneG
boy OF eighteen, and left william anG
Mary's college to enter the Revolu
ton, Monroe remained In the public
service until 1925, when he retired
from the White House a wrinkled
care bent, impoverished old man. II
those 40 years, he had been a mino,
military officer under Washington; re
peatedly member of the legislature
4 member Of the Continental congress
and Of the national senate; twice gov
ernor of Virginia minister to France
England and Spain; secretary of state
and war at the same time and finally
president for two terms.
without wealth or family influence
with slow, commonplace mind, with
no gifts as speaker; with a modest
awkward presence and plain. unpOl.
ished manners, this very ordinary man
plodded up the ladder Of ambition to
Its tOpmost rung. HOwf BY sheer
force Of his rugged. courageous. In.

Using pamphlet as drawing
card to our community? People
riding through get the same inn

school grounds. So isn't it worth
, while when we stop and consl-
der that 1860 hours of our child
ren's time each year is spent at
these school houses and the inn
pressions received at that time
of life stay with them. Let's

hFONROES administration was
AVx the most serene and yet one Of
the most important periods in the life
OF the nation. 1t was an eight years
crowded with glorious and lasting vic
tories Of peace, such victories as
swords never can win.
BY mere exchange Of notes be-
tween the United States and England,
those two Jealous neighbors pledged
themselves to disarm forever on the
great lakes. BY cOmmon-sense bust
ness transaction. Florida, which was
Of little use to Spain. but Of much
use to the United States. was bought
over the counter In 1920. a peaceable
conquest that ranks only second to
the Louisiana purchase. BY civil no
tice to the old world, in 1923. the
whole new world was set aside under
the Monroe doctrine as an immense
preserve Of international peace. BY
give-and-take in the Missouri cOmpro-
mise In 1920, North and South were
bound together anew. though with
false ties.
Monroe's two terms cover what is
known as the "era of good feelings"
The old Federalist party having given
up the ghost. he succeeded to the pres
idency as the last Of the Virginia dy-
nasty almost as easily as an heir ap-
parent receives the crown Of his IA.
Their. Washington's second election
would have been entirely unanimous
had not New Hampshire elector cast
one dissenting ballot.
Yet that "era Of good feeling"
really was filed with many bitter
feelings aroused by personal ambi-
tons and the quarrels Of factions
But Monroe formed one of the strong
est cabinets In history. and, with John
Quincy Adams, William II. Crawford.

dustrious. honest. loyal characters
triumph Of the hOmely virtues.
Although he failed in some Of his
most important tasks, MOnroe's fail
ures were forgiven because they wers
honest mistakes. The ridicule and the
disgrace brought upon him by the most
spectacular episode Of his undramatit
life would have buried forever a mar
more brilliant and less sincere.
This remarkable scene was enacted
on the highly theatrical stage Of the
national convention at Paris directly
after the Reign Of Terror and the fal
Of RObespierre, when France was the
Outcast among nations. At that mo-
ment, Monroe appeared as the envoy
Of the only sister republic and. to lei
all the world see that the Revolution
had at least one friend left on earth
the president Of the convention melo
dramatically folded the rustic Virgin
ian In his arms.
After two years. he was recalled FOR
his zeal. and came home In a rage Of
indignation. Passing by the gate OF
Mount Vernon without paying his re
spects to Washington. he paid then
instead In 500 pages which he pub
lished In defense Of himself and in de
nunciation Of the administration. New.
ertheless, the discredited diplomat wa.
sent to Paris again by President JET
ferson In = few years, when he came
away covered with success and with
the treaty for the purchase Of Louisi
ana under his arm by fitting prelude
to the Monroe doctrine. 20 years later
There IL most interesting souve
mir Of Monroe In Paris. Like Madi
scn. he had fallen in love while y
member Of congress and had married
Elizabeth Kortright Of New York. Two
children having been born to them
one Of the girls was placed In the n,
nous French school Of Nine. Campan
where she formed q friendship with
Nortense Beauharnals that cutlastet
the many vicissitudes OF Josephine's
daughter.
