GEORGE WASHINGTON’S EARLY
LITE—AN ORIGINAL ESSAY
1- -
The following is the best essay
written by the Grammar grades;' *,*
George Washington
By Ulah Murphy
George Washington was born at
Bridges creek, Virginia, on the Po
tomac River. Soon after he was
born, his father removed to nn
estate on the Rappahannock River.
On the old homestead at Bridges
creek, a stone slab marks the site
of the house. It bears this inscrip
tion: “Here, the 22nd of Feb.,
17.'**2, George Washington was
born." Difference of reckoning
now makes the 11th the 22ml.
When he was a boy, he wanted to
be a sailor. But his mother thought
she could not let him go away from
home. So George remained with
her.
He w ent to school and studied
mathematics and surveying, and
later became a skillful surveyor.
It made him acquainted with the
woods and he knew every Indian
path.
He excelled in athletics and
horsemanship. Ho knew all about
life in the wilderness, and was very
daring. His name may still be road
on a lofty limestone cliff of the
natural bridge in Virginia, where,
when a lad, he climbed up higher
than nnv of his companions dared
i t
to go, and cut it with his hunting
, •
knife.
When only twenty-one years did
Governor Dinwiddie sent him as) a
messenger to a French fort, to ufsk
them to give up the Ohio Valley.
He had to travel three hundred
miles on foot and cross rivers as
best he could. Washington per
formed the journey successfully.
Perhaps this first brought him into
public notice.
By the death of Lawrence Wash
ington, (an elder brother) George
came into the possession of the
estate of Mount Vernon.
In 17”>9 he married Mrs. Martha
Custis a wealthy widow.
He was the commander-in-chief
in the Revolutionary War, and has
been called the greatest general in
history. At the close of the war, he
was unanimously elected the first
president of the United States. He
stands prominent in history ns
“The Father.of Our Country.”

WINTER
fi • '■ «t 7
An Original Poem
(By Meryl Towle, Age 11 yrs.,
Grade sixth.)
Winter is full of joy
For every girl and boy;
When the snow falls thick and
V*
fast,
It is coasting time at last.
And at the gate there stands a m^n
as white as snow,
I watch and watch and wonder
when he will go;
Like a sentinel he stands at the
gate, . f
Like i sentinel he stands, tall and
t • • * • .. , r
straight.
But when summer come* he will
grow small and fade away,
And we shall forget the old snow
man and go and play.

THE VOIC E OF CONSCIENCE
Once 1 was walking through a
park when I.saw a frog. 1 picked
up a rock and was about to let it
drop on the poor ainmal when
somebody called me. I turned
around, buc seeing nobody I ran
home and asked mamma if she had
called me. She said, “No.”
After a while 1 told about what
happened to the frog. Mamma
said, “That was your conscience
telling you not to kill the poor
animal.”—By- Joe Garza, Johnson
school, San Antonio, Texas.

k* *»
Once there was a little boy who
had two little soldiers. , And he
wanted a leader to lead his two
little soldiers. Just then his little
dog tame into the room and the
little boy said I will have my dog
for the leader. So he fixed his dog
up for the leader.
Then he put the gun in the dog’s
paw. Then he took his drum and
the two sticks to beat the drum.
Tom Madsen Age 9
Once there was two little soldiers
and a boy and a dog. The boy had
a hat and a drum. The dog had a
gun. The boy was captain. The
drum says one two, march in line.
The soldiers had read coats.
Walter Blue, Age 7
The wind said one day, “come
over the meadow ami play with me.
Put on your red dresses. Summer
has gone so you better fly to the
ground.” So the little leaves went
to the ground. They went to sleep
and the* snow covered them.
C oncerning Teeth
The following happened in Miss
Root’s primary room:
Teacher (in conclusion)—“So we
must keep our mouths clean or our
teeth will decay arid have to be poll
fed. ' ■ / r
Little Bright Eyes — “My papa
prills his tee^h out lots of tiiries.
Tricky all come out together and it
doesn't" hurt him any.”
