ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ROUND-UP mvi'nn a Copyists: Barbara Burke and Lloyd Moore. George Washington. Before the iron gates of the old mansion on the knoll at Mt. Ver non lay the tombs of George Wash ington and Martha, his wife. George Washington is called the “Father of His Country" and was the first president of the United States. He served two terms, and was one of the greatest presidents of all time. Washing-ton was also a commander of the American armies, statesman, and patriot. George Wrashington was born in 1732 and died December 14, 1799. His birthday is a legal holiday in all the states of the Union; and in 1932 nationwide celebrations were held to comemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth. But George Washington’s place among the great heroes of history does not depend upon memorials created by law. It rests upon the affec tion and appreciation of his coun try men. —Douglas Owenby.

Habits That Make a Kood ^^em There are many habits th make a good citizen, some of whan are honesty, friendliness, kindness, good health and true happiness. The first thing is honesty.
