“George Washington.”
(This Essay was written by Miss Sa
rah Joe Roberts and took first prize in
the George Washington Essay Con
test. 1
AMONG the multitude who in differ
ent lands and times have won fame
in varying degrees, a few stand out so
distinct, so far above the rest, that
they mark the eras of the world’s
progress. By them we measure our
growth, by them we test our advance
or decline! An age in which they hon
ored is glorious, a generation by which
they are not esteemed is contemptible.
Among the few thus truly great is
Washington. A thousand times has
the story of his noble life been told
vet we are still eager to hear it.
George Washington, the father of
his country, was born February the
twenty-second, seventeen hundred and
thirty-two. From early childhood
he developed a very noble character.
He was always rioted for frankness,
fearlessness and moral courage. He
is the ideal of every girl or boy who
knows the story of the cherry tree.
When his father and mother bore him
to the baptismal font, and called him
George, little did they dream that his
name would become one of the most
memorable in the annals of time.
At the age of ten, George and five
'other children were left fatherless, but
ills mother was equal to the task this
imposed upon her. To the day of her
death she had a great influence over
her son.
At the age Of sixteen, then a man in
character anil almost a man in stature,
he left school. He had given most of
his time to mathematics and practical
surveying, us It was then his intention
to become a civil engineer. He had
formed his character upon the right
model. Everything he did, lie did well.
When he left school he went to Mount
Vernon, where lie met Lord Fairfax,
a man of large fortune. He engaged
Washington to survey a vast territory,
which extended over the Blue Moun-
tains. So well did he do Ids task that
a year later the stall* of Virginia em
ployed him as public surveyor. For
three years he was engaged in these la
borious duties, which introduced him
to scenes of romance and adventure.
On the sixtli of January, seventeen
hundred and fifty nine, he married Mrs.
Martha Custis. Mrs. Washington and
George Washington were both w ulthy
and now the beautiful estate at Mount
Vernon had been descended to him by
inheritance. After the tumultuous
scenes of his youth, he retired with his
wife and her two children to the love
ly retreat of Mount Vernon, where he
spent fifteen years of almost unalloyed
happiness.
But during these years of peace and
prosperity an appalling storm was gath
ering. All Americans sprang to arms,
called a congress and chose Washing
ton commander-in-chief. Just as- all
soldiers hate to leave home and wife,
he hated to leave his wife, the object
of his most tender affection, but duty
called, and he must obey. In seventeen
and seventy-six he made an address to
his soldiers, just before the battle of
Long Island. It was in this address
that he said. “Liberty, property, life
and honor are all at stake. Upon your
courage and conduct rest the hopes of
our bleeding and insulted country. Our
wives, children find parents, expect
safety from us only and they have ev
ery reason to believe that Heaven will
crown with success so just a cause.”
Asa father slaves for a child, Wash
ington slaved for his country until in
seventeen hundred and eighty the rev
olution came to a close. America was
free and independent. Washington was
tlie savior of bis country.
April the thirtieth, seventeen and
eighty nine he was inaugurated pres
ident, For two terms he remained in
the presidential chair. At the close
of his administration he again retired
to the peaceful shades of Mount Ver
non.
He was taken sick December the
fourteenth, seventeen hundred and
ninety-nine. About ten o’clock the next
tdght lie died at flip age of sixty-eight.
Four days later his body was buried in
th<- tomb at Mount Vernon.
February, the twenty-second. May
it ever le remembered by American
hearts. His memory is first and most
sacred in our love and till the last
drop of blood shall freeze in the Amer
ican heartp, his name shall lie a spell
of power and might. First in war,
first in peace and first in the hearts of
his countrymen. It was the daily
beauty and towering and matchless
glory of his life, which enabled him to
create his country, and, at the same
time, secure an undying love and re
gard from the whole American people.
