that bunch would have made a pin
drop like a bomb! Some Teacher!
Who else would have thought of it or
would have dared the doing? 1t lay

by love that embraced the II know" of

the cheek of Judas had burned red un-

ers clinging to his feet to stay them
from the path in which they were set,
in which all the emotions possible
played across the stirred minds of
those scholars in Christ's school. Peter
protested, but he didn't offer to take

to the Virginia leader, George Wash
ington.
The appointment of Washington was
agreed upon. George Washington was
well started to become the Father Of
the Country"
He was a capable insurrectionary
leader, driving the British army out
of Boston for John Adams merchant
clique, and then plunged into prepa-
rations for further fighting.
On July 4, 1875, came the famous
meeting at Independence Hall in Phi
ladelphia, where the Declaration of
independence was signed. The revolu-
ton from then on took the form of
open, armed instruction, a civil war
for the complete overthrow of the gov
eminent on American soil.
A combination of circumstances
were favorable to the revolution. Eng
land was involved in a much bigger
war with the French empire and com
munication with the scene of the col
onial war was slow and difficult. Eng
land gave up the struggle-the reVolu-
ton had won.
The American revolutionary war shot
a great flame into the sky-a flame of
revolutionary reality, which was seen
in all countries where the bourgeoisie
groaned under feudal restrictions. It
gave acceleration to the fast develop
ment of the great French revolution
which broke out within "a decade, the
successful slave revolution in Haiti.
and the Napoleonic wars which open
ed the continent of Europe to modern
bourgeois production. 1t is little to
be wondered that its ablest leader in
action should stand out big in history.
But Washington hadn't yet finished
his job of becoming the Father of his
Country"
Within few months after signing
the peace with England the American
big landlords and merchants turned
about and with brutal force suppress
ed the small farmers who looked for
something for themselves out of the
revolution as against the exploitation
by the big land lords and city mer-

chants. The class struggle Of the
small farmers showed frightening pos
sibilities to the wealthy classes. and
the chaos of economic breakdown
turnout the colonies seemed hopeless.
At the same time in the state of
Georgia where the slave population
vastly outnumbered the white ruling
class, an insipient slave revolution
was considered to be at the point Of
outbreak.
The revolutionary ferment had gone
further than the Revolutionary faith
ers" wanted it to.
A unifying force and symbol had
to be found. There was serious
movement, more or less secret, for
the unification of the thirteen colonies
under a king. A German prince was
to be imported as the founder of an
American dynasty. Many Of the Am
erican revolutionary fathers" were
involved in this movement. If this
movement had succeeded, George
Washington would never have been
known as the Father of the Country"
but some German prince would have
become the Father Of the Country"
The common danger drove together
the leading figures of the propertied
classes of the thirteen states. Again
they assembled in 1887 at Philadel-
phia in long secret conference which
had for its purpose the solution of the
crisis. This conference resulted in the
adoption of the constitution of United
States which for it's first time de-
clared an end to the separate national
existence of the thirteen states and
declared all to constitute a single ma
ton united under the name of the
United States of America.
The final solution of the question of
civil government had been reached.
The idea of the German prince was
laid aside and George Washington
was selected as the best unifying
figure to hold the torn little country
together. Washington was elected
president.

llets on Liberty, Equality and Fra
ternity."
George Washington seemed rather
immune to the philosophical side of
it, perhaps partly because he had very
little education, reading was hard
work for him, and for any finished
writing he had to have assistance.
Nevertheless he was a good revolu-
ZIONIST in his way and caught some of
the spirit of his time.
Washington attended as delegate
to the first Continental Congress in
1774, where he made no speeches and
generally gave the impression of be-
ing rather "dumb''-but he showed
some understanding Of coming events,
for when he did open his mouth it was
to say that blood will be spilled"
AS events moved forward more to
action and less to oratory, Washing
ton played a more distinct part, The
second continental congress came to-
gether in March 1775, and here George
served very capably on committees
for fortifying New York, for collect
ing ammunition, raising money, and
for working out rules for a revolution
airy army. Otherwise he did little but
to strut about in the only military
uniform at the congress. This is more
significant than it sounds. Under the
conditions of the time, it was by no
means certain whether the wealthy
leaders Of the different colonies were
really going to. hang together in the
fight resistance to the government. 1t
was not yet decided that a revolution
airy war for independence would be
undertaken. The fighting was going
on in Massachusetts, and the COM
mercial bourgeoisie of that colony was
not sure that the slave cologies would
come into the fight and stand together
with them. John Adams, the leader of
the Massachusetts delegation to the
congress. wanting to ensure the agree
ment of the leading southern colony
with the northern merchants. made
the shrewd motion that the appoint
meat as military commander be given
