WASHINGTON
The greotness of Washington is
appreciated more and more keen-
ly with each passing: year, as his-
torians) throw new light upin the
1* other cf his Country. Greotness
dan not be defined, but it is easily
recognized in the perspective of
time. The greatest men are those
whose lives and works have in-
fluenced the greatest number of
other persons. Measured by that
rule, George Washington towers
,as one of the greatest figures of
all history. He, more than any
other man, created toe new na-
tion which was to set Us impres-
sion upon the entire world. It is
r>tv! mere pseudo i§atriotis boast-
fulness to declare that the United
States is the world’s greatest na-
tion todla.yo greatest not only in
material things but greatest in its
influence upon all the rest of tine
World. And our national greatness
has been made possible by the
leadership of George Washington.
Politically, Washington estab-
lised one tradition which has been
largely responsible for the success
of our American experiment in
popular government. That was
that tne President, after bis term
of office wa& finished, sshould re-
tire Emm public life and take no
further active part in politics.
Only in two or three' instances has
this rule been violated. John
Quincy Adams served in tbs House
Of Representatives after having
been President; and in our own
time the political activity of
Theodore Roisevelt did not end
With; hi© Presideutall term. But
the tradition of aloofness from in-
terconference' with the conduct of
bis' 'Successors in office has guid-
ed u _ry other Px-President. In
the republics of " ton and Cen-
tral America, whore this has not
been the rule, nationol progress
has been impeded by revolutions
hbaded by the former presidents
in dozens of examples.
Washington as a young man

pied th'° eastern fring must be

any other nation. Historians sel-

You need not concern yourself
because your boy liked stories.
Btut are the stories he reads the

for good sories.
Centuries before there was any
writing, . story -tollers. drifted
about from village to village,
gathering the people together and
telling them stories.
The love of fiction is as old as
that—older than recorded history,
older even imam civilisation. It can
not be irooted out: its roots run
back too far.
And why should you want to
root, it out?
The greatest Teacher that ever
lived spent half His -time telling
stories to His disciples. “Without
parable (a story) He taught
them nothing.” These stories have
transformed' humanity.
One great story written in our
own country, “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin,” so stirred men’s Hearts
that they said /‘Slavery must go”
Good stories will not hurt your
boy: they may if he is the right
kind of boy, inspire him to real
achievement.
And they will do something else
for him, equally important. They
will develop nis imigination.
We have too little regard for
the high value of the imigination,
we Americans. We are too matter
of fact. We forget that all1 great
nventions, all great discoveries,
all great achievements in science
or business, came to pass because
some man first had imagination
enough to conceive them.
Many men have been hit on the

when the apple hit him, had im-

I asked you for one, how many would you have left?” Sandy
promplly replied: “SIX.”
They tell a good many stories about the Scotch »being a
bit “tight,” but just the same their habit of being frugal,
saving and economical might be followed by a lot of people
who poke fun at them. People should not only be saving, but
also keep their savings in a good B~nk—like ours.
