He believed our political institu- lions were superior to those of other countries but he never preach ed hatred of all things foreign and he made large concessions in the negotiation of treaties for tho set clement of disputed questions which were for the advantage of foreign nations, He believed that obligations were mutual, that what we expect ed 10 receive we should be ready to give, both in the field of citizenship and In tho larger domain of inter- national relations, He clung 10 the realities. That was his greatness.
 Washington has been known as one of the most practical of lead CTS. He was not emotional. He was possessed of that broad com prehension of situation which made his judgment eminently sound. With the possible exception of the field of Monmouth, when disobedi- ence Of his orders amounting almost to treachery was losing the day, his- tory always reveals him as calm, cool and collected.
 He wished 10 see his country not only materially prosperous and poli- | tically successful, but beyond that, l and above it, he wished to see the | intellectual, moral and spiritual life of the people developed. This is the side Of Washington 10 which too lit tie attention has been given.
 "In his farewell address he sol emnly warned his countrymen that these are the foundations on which rest all American institutions. More than that, they are the foundation on which all civilization must rest. It is as an expounder of these great principles that he performed the greatest service for the world"
 Tracing the development of edn- cation In the United States, the president declared "the country at large had not failed to follow the precepts of Washington" and con- tinued:
 From the three institutions of higher learning in existence at tho time of his birth, the number has grown 10 91S, with a total enroll mont of over GG4,000 students and over 5G.000 teachers. an endowment of nearly $S15,000,00O and q prop crty value of over $.000, ,000,000 Our elementary and secondary schools have expanded until they provide for more than 26,o0o,000 pupils and require over S22,00O teachers. Tn 1912 the total amount expended yearly for all educational purposes was about S706,00O, ,000 This has been increasing with great rapidity, until in 1921 it reached $2,4Oo, ,oo0,000.
 This represents the result which has been secured by the carrying out of some of the most important policies of our first president. IL should be noted that these are tho policies of peace. They are based on D desire for intellectual and nor al enlightenment. They are the only means by which misunderstood. ings, suspicious, hatreds and war' can finally be eradicated from tho earth"

THIS FATIGUE S
THE REAL
THING

It seems needless to impose
hardship on motion picture actors
to intensity emotion for the screen
but that Is exactly what was
done to get genuine realism for
certain scenes in What Price
Glory" now being transferred to
the screen by Fox Films under
the direction OF Raoul Walsh. and
1t was done with the full consent
OF the players.
In the story Captain Flagg's
company Of veteran marines are
sent to the front lines five times
without sufficient rest. The last
call for action finds the hardened
soldiers in state bordering on
exhaustion. To get a real con
trast between these battle-scarred
veterans and. the fresh new re-
placement troops Director Walsh
required super acting on the part
Of the men.
Try as they might the boys
could not register That tired
feeling" Finally one of the drill
sergeants suggested a plan which
presented solution. He sug.
gested four hours OF hard march
ing and drill. The film soldiers
unanimously consented and the
firing process commenced. All
morning the company trudged up
and down the streets of the Fox
Hills studio-over rolling coun.
try and barren hills without letup.
When the men returned to the
set for scenes in the French town
Of Bouresches they were tired
real tired.
