OF the Father of His Country"
The list Of memorials is impressive.
First, there is the city of Washington,
which flttingly bears his name. For 1t
was during his first term as our first
president that congress selected the
site of the nations capital.a And It
was due to Washington more than TO
any other man that the capital is
what II is today, with the promise of
the future. For IT was Washington
who set Maj. Pierre Charles L'Enfant
at work laying out the capital under
his direction. It Is the judgment of
the present that no letter job Of the
kind was ever done. Daniel H. Burn
ham. Augustus st. Gaudens. Charles
T. McKim and Frederick Law Ohm
: sted-and who can name four higher
authorities on town-planning, architec-
ture and beauty ?-once sat together on
the plans Of Washington and L'Enfant
and decided that they could not be
bettered.
Second, there Is the Washington
monumen. 1t Is worthy of its name
and purpose.
Third, there is Mount Vernon, with
its sacred tomb-so close to Washing
ton as to be of It. Mount Vernon Is
both a national and international
shrine.
Fourth, there Is the George Wash
Ington National Masonic memorial, the
corner stone Of which was laid last fall.
II is said that this will be the grandest
memorial ever constructed In honor of
a human being. 1t Is being erected IN
Alexandria. just over the Virginia line
from the District of Columbia.
Fifth, there is the National cathedral
on Mount st. Alban, with its majestic
apse complete and its foundations laid.
Il is IN no sense memorial to George
Washington. Nevertheless, Ii will al
ways be intimately associated with
him, for he specifically provided for
its construction In his directions to

which the foundations are nearing
completion.
