HIGH LIGHTS or THE
CLASSICAL MEETING

Dir. Crossheld gave hearty Ell
dorsement of the classics, declar-
ing that they, especially Latin
should be retained as elective
courses in High Schools and Col
legcs. He cited as an example OF
their practical value, his visit to
Lloyd George, of England, during
which he had been impressed
with the fact that the great Pre-
mier had supplemented his cduca-
ton by a detailed study OF the
classics as a means TO the attain
ment of his ambitions. This train
ing he obtained with the aid of All
aged uncle during spare moments.
Following DR.. Crossheld's ad-
dress, the Hon, George Colvin,
Superintendent Of Public lnstruc-
ton, state of Kentucky, made 4
most vigorous address on "Why
] Recommend the the Study OF
Latin" He stated that as a
teacher, Latin was his favorite
subject and that he had secured
better results from it than any
other. Mr.. Colvin further dcclar-
ed that he thought High School
children incapable of wise cleo
tion and he therefore recon-
mended that Latin be a required
subject in High Schools. Democ.
racy, he said, was one idea
achieved only through leadership

Washington Type of
Highest Citizenship

In the formal observance of the an
niversary Of the birth of George Wash
ington. it is well to pause to reflect
upon the character of the man TO
whom the American people the
utmost debt of gratitude. His serv-
ices were rendered in the supreme
hour of trial and in the dark days of
national birth. AS soldier and as
Statesman Washington stood supreme
" the leader Of the people.
Putting aside all speculation as to
what Washington would have done in
This or in hat specific situation of
modern days, it can and should always
be borne in mind that he would as
suredly have been for a strong gov
eminent, for the highest type of citi-
zenship. for a devotion to a single al
legiance, and for the broadest possible
spread Of education. He could not
have favored or fostered a spirit of
revolt against the established institu-
lions, save by the legal and definitely
appointed means. He had rebelled
against the tyranny of British rule.
He had led the American cOlOnists in
to a victorious independence. But he
could never have sustained a move
ment of mere dissent, conducted out
side the pale of law or employing the
weapons of sedition.
George Washington was a patriot in
the truest sense, true 10 his c0nvic-
lions, true 10 the institutions that had
been set up here in substitution for
the colonial administration which Of
Tended the sense of justice even of
Britons of that day. He guided the
new government capably. without a
chart. finding the way carefully and
sagaciousIy. He felt that though this
new government had been set up in
revolt, it must be conducted in a spirit
of universal acceptance by the people
of the principles that had been adopt
ed as its foundation.
There is no support for the radicals
of today in the fact that George Wash
was q rebel against the rule OF
King George. His example will never
serve to justify sedition or intrigue or
class alignments seeking to
overturn that which has been reared
through nearly a century and a half
of painstaking, consistent develop /
based upon the principle of the
general welfare and the cooperation
of all the people.

His Fondness for Children

While Washington had no children
of his own, he was blessed with many
nephews and nieces, who, looking up
to him as the head of the family, re-
ceived many favors from his hand.
His sister Betty, Mrs. Fielding Lewis,
had several boys, Washington, when
nineteen, standing godfather to the
eldest. Two of her boys, Howell and
Lawrence, made their home with their
famous uncle at Mount Vernon at diff
ferent times. Another nephew, Bush
rod, a son of Washington's brother,
John Augustine, was an especial ia
vorite. His career as a lawyer was
helped by Washington, who followed
it with the greatest pride and interest,
and frequently consulted him on legal
matters. The Mount Vernon mansion,
its library and private papers and
1000 acres were left to this nephew.
OF his brother Samuel's chill
dren Washington helped educate the.
three boys, and gave their sister Har-
riet a home under his own roof for
nine years.-H- A. Ogden in st. Mich

Remarkable HonOrs
Paid Washington on
His Inaugural Trip

At the time he was unanimously

fame were known to the entire civ

and dinners. Every person who was
able to reach the roads along which
he was to pass, or the cities selected
as stations on his slow journey north

his trip the most triumphal procession
this continent had witnessed. To those
thousands who lined the roads from
Virginia to New York, the great. seri-
GUS figure of the Father of his Coun-

al hopes.
On April 6, 1889, both houses of
congress met in New York city, at
the time the capital, and elected
George Washington President of the
United States. No other name had
been proposed. For Vice President
there were eleven nominations. John
