My Dear Children:
This is indeed a wonderful month we’re beginning. February ha
many holidays that we hardly finish our celebration of one before a rot}., -
on the way. Lincoln’s birthday, Washington’s birthday—to say rothir •
St. Valentine’s day! Often we are much too concerned with the fun w,. 6
having to remember, the glorious messages the lives of these two countrymr
of ours hold for us—Washington’s courage, loyalty and steadfastness; Li^
coin’s magnificent devotion to a sublime cause. Even Saint Valentine, thou/-
a legendary character, teaches thoughtfulness for others. So think of these
messages, children, while you’re having fun with heart-shaped candies anc
cunning toy hatchets or little cherry trees.
Write and tell me about all the good times the month brings to you.
And if any of you can write a nice little story of some incident in the
lives of these great men, send it in quickly so we can use it before February
leaves us.
My love to you all,
SISTER MIRIAM.
And here is the essay that won second prize in our “State” contest.
You remember it was sent in by Harry Goldzar, of Macon, Georgia.
“The Settling of the Colony of Georgia”
At the time when colonies were being founded almost everywhere in the
United States, there came a new king to England, George II. He gave per
mission to a certain General James Oglethorpe to make a settlement in the
new world as so many others were doing. Now Oglethorpe had asked for this
permission because there was a very cruel law in England which said that
everyone who could not pay his debts must be put in prison. General Ogle
thorpe wanted these people to have a chance to start life anew.
In November of 1732, he and his little band of 116 landed on the Savannah
River, and at once began the building of a settlement. This was the present
city of Savannah. The people made a peace treaty with the Indians and s
were exploring the surrounding country. The settlement was named “Georgia,"
in honor of George II. It grew and grew and soon became what is now a
beautiful state.
Children it may interest you to hear about a great tree that still standi
near Darien, Georgia. Its great branches extend far in every direction and
are so heavy that they have to be supported by great props. Under this tree
General Oglethorpe and 500 men once took refuge during a severe storm. I
have seen it, and it is really large enough for this to have happened.
And now for a lovely poem. Carolyn Wallace, who is quite a poetess
herself, sent this in for one of her friends. Carolyn also sent in a charming
little legend which you will see soon.
“ROBERT E. LEE”
To the hero of Virginia!
To the hero of the South!
Nothing could describe him
That comes from any mouth.
In war he was a valiant general,
At home he was a valiant man,
Nothing could be said against him,
No matter from what stand.
In ways he had no equal,
He could hold his own abroad,
Nor was he easily angered,
Of his own free will and accord.
Virginia was his native state,
He was proud to call her thus,
In life she guided his decisions—
In death she gathered up his dust.
