WASHINGTON Washington is the city no patriotic America can visit without a better realization of his citizenship, a city not of manufactures and commerce, yet a hive of industry. There is not the hustle and hurry of industrial activi- ties. Only a calm serenity rests about all as if such quiet were needed for the serious responsibility of great decisions. The location and plans for the nation's capital were decided by the man for whom it was named. These plans were drawn up by Peter Charles L'Erfant and were so elaborate that they called forth ridicule from many of the great men who saw them. It was Washington who looked beyond the immediate present and saw the need for the city portrayed in L,Erfant's plans, thus he ordered these plans executed. L'Erfant took as a piwot Capitol Hill, and from it all of the streets radiate as spokes from the hub of a wheel. These streets are intersected with cross streets and liberally sprinkled with beautiful parks. The streets and avenues are named after the states in the Union. The city grew slowly. When the government was moved there it was far from completion. lt was not until after the Civil War that the country realized the need for a beautiful and pretentious capital. Then trees were planted, parks laild out and new and beautiful buildings were erected. Thus we see Washington as it is today, with all its beauty and splendor.
