GEORGE WASHINGTON
_and_
OTHER HEROES OF THE REVOLUTION

INTRODUCTION: (Told by pupil).

We are now going to tell you the story of George Washington and other
heroes of the Revolutionary War.

George Washington was the first president of the United States and
was called "The Father of His Country." As a boy he was a skilful
horseback rider and liked to go into the forest with his dog and hunt.
He had a very good mother. His father called her "The Rose of Epping
Forest"--a place in England.

(Maps are used and pupil points out the places on maps with
pointer).

The first act will be George Washington talking to his mother.

ACT I.

education. According to these old Virginia days the oldest son in the
family, when the father dies, receives a plantation and your brother,
Laurence, has received a plantation on the Potomac.

WASHINGTON: Well, mother, if I give up my plans of going to sea and
go back to school, what shall I do?

MRS. WASHINGTON: You will receive a plantation on the Rappahannock.

WASHINGTON: Well, I shall give up all my plans and go back to school
and I will try to excel in all my work.

MRS. WASHINGTON: You must excel in both work and play and remember
the Golden Rule--"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

(Several boys knock and enter--boys bow and speak to Mrs.
Washington).

BOYS: How do you do, Mrs. Wa
