ECHOES FROM NOTRE DAME
George Washington has always
been the ideal patriot of American
history with the pupils of Notre
Dame, and he is still more ardently
loved and admired since his masterly
iudgment and penetrating foresight
lid not die with him, for, with keen
discernment of what would be the
most agreeable legacy to leave to his
dear American children, he inspired
the nation to proclaim Feb. 22 a holi
day.
