TO THE PUPIL
1. Write on the following topics, using a paragraph for each: George Washington's early home; his school-training; George and his mother; the boy soldier; the young athlete; the truthful boy.
2. It would be well for you to commit to memory George's rules of conduct.
3. Give an account of the young surveyor's life in the woods out in the Shenandoah Valley. Imagine the two young fellows riding alone through the forest, and the scene in the woods when the Indians danced by the huge fire.
4. Trace on your map Washington's perilous journey to the French forts. What was the purpose of this journey? Travel in imagination with Washington on his return to Williamsburg, and tell, in the first person, some of your experiences.
5. What do you think of General Braddock? In what way was he defeated? This was one of the battles of the Last French War. What caused this war?
6. Find as many words as you can that describe George Washington.
James Wolfe.
