WASHINGTON S GREATNESS
Perhaps no other heroic figure in history stands
out in so many different views as George Washington.
Connected with his life and works there are many dif
ferent identities, all of which contain absorbing inter
est. In one sense his greatness consisted of his com-j
bined talents and qualities.
There is the George Washington who was “first
in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his
countrymen.” This quality of leadership stands for pat
riotic devotion to the cause of American liberty.
There is the Washington as an aristocratic colonial
citizen. The Washington as a land owner, highly res
pected and a leader; the Washington, a citizen in a try
ing period, capable and industrious; the soldier Wash
ington, brave and enduring; the statesman,, sincere
and diplomatic; the President, an ideal of his time.
As time passes and the backward perspective be
comes keener, one such figure as Washington becomes
more inspiring. There is little doubt but that as the de
cades come and go, Washington’s part in history will
become more the" subject of heroism and romance,
probably to the point of building around his activities
something of the mythological, as we believe has been
done in the cases of the Greek, Rome and other heroes
of antiquity. Tradition is full of romance.
Fortunately, Washington’s life is sufficiently re
cent to admit of little error in its chronicling. It will
be a long time before the facts concerning his activi
ties are swallowed up in the glamour of fiction. The
glorification of him is still attended by truth.
Washington was great because he was possessed of
the fine quality of modesty; and humble as he was in
attitude, he was able to rise to great occasions. Again,
the period made his greatness inevitable.
