It 1 is true he did net have te struggle with gpverty, es. eo many of "oar Americans, who have obtained great- / ness have done, tor bia parents were wealthy for the tunes in whioh he ' lived. But his wealth did not, aa is < so generally the oaee, fasten npon 1 him idle and diaaelote babita. From 1 * the beginning of his oareer until its 1 close hie life was a boay and active 1 one, free from vices of evey kind. ' Indeed, Washington morality baa 1 ever bean held up as an example for : the youth and even the mousing hit- " torian has failed in bisattacka upofi it. His davotiop to his country Jn 1 times Of war aid peace ara conspicu- 1 ous features. His p.ublio services as - President were devoid of selfiahness and ambitious motive, free from party prejudices sad prompted by motives that he believed to be for the beit interests of the nation. In pur2 ' ity of character atid freedom from vices ef every kind, ^Washington stand* as a msdel for Am jrioan youth.. - (Us reply to his indignant r-.i k ?L . . .

It "as not his public.life 1 services alone that have given him i "> the oommanding positions he holds ; ib the affections of the American l people. His- personal character , his unimpeachable integrity, the 1 purity of bis motives sad the tenor of big whole private life have bad much to do with it. No better evidence of tbeypateem in which he , was held - jiff his contemporaries , oould be given him" than the fact . that the pobTlo observance ot his ] birthday began daring hia lifetime. | This has been true of no .--other ; Amerieen.
