Caiing for a rededication to the
principle* of "the just pride of
Patriotism." Miss Gertrude S. Car.
raway. President General, National
Society, Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution, has asked for na
tionwide observance of February as
American History Month.
"Americanism," said Miss Carra
way, "is faith, belief that man. with
God's help, la capable of self-rule.
Based on eternal principles of free
dom and justice, it is timeless?just
as essential in this age as in the
past. Only by a thorough under
standing of the principles on which
this nation was built, can we un
derstand the spirit of America and
pass on to our posterity 'Freedom's
Holy Light'."
The National Society, DAR.,
Miss Carraway declared, does
everything within Its power to keep
green the memory of George Wash
ington. whose birthday falls this
month, and that of the other patri
ot* who helped make this country
free.
The Memorial Bell Tower dedi
cated by the DAR. at Valley
Forge, Pa.. In 1953, to proclaim
DAR faith in America, has a fine
statue of George Washington by
Sculptor C. Paul Jennewein and a
beautiful Rose Window depicting
Washington at prayer. A nine-foot
bronze statue of George Washing
ton by Pompeo I.uigl Coppini. the
first in all Texas, has been erected
by the Texas State Society. DAR,
on the grounds of the University
of Texas.
A noble portrait of George Wash
ington by Rembrandt Peale hangs
in the D.A R. Library, one of the
three largest genealogical libraries
In the United States. Many other
Washington and Washington family
items are in the D A R Museum
at 1776 D Street, NW, Washing
ton. D. C.
What is probably the most fam
ous personal letter George Wash
ington ever wrote, a detailed in
struction on how the education of
his stepson. John Parke Oust is.
should be conducted, is in the
permanent collection of the D.A.R
Museum DAR Archives have a
valuable and hitherto unpublished
letter of George Washington deal
ing with the surrender of the Brit
ish.
"But more important than any
of these physical reminders of
Washington." Miss Carraway said,
"is the D.A.R. effort to keep alive
the principles of George Washing
ton?honesty, integrity, loyalty, and
unswerving devotion to duty."
"That is why the D.A.R. has as
a special project the encourage
ment of history teaching in the
fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
grades Last year, the D A R gave
2426 Certificates of Award to
schoolchildren and 2750 History
Medals for special excellence in
American History, besides many
other prizes."
