. Just. to 'Ourselves. ,;.
It Is hard to ho really just to our
selves. A greut many of us lire mort
lenient with our own fnults than with
those of other people, while not a few
censnre themselves far more harshly
for a false step than they would thjnk
of censuring another. What we should
strive for Is to he neither too exacting
not too lenient where our shortcomings
are concerned, but to give ourselves
Iho benefit of simple Justice.
"Mother of Presidents."
Virginia bus sometimes been called
mother of presidents because she has
furnished so many us compared with
other states. Since the foundation of
the government eight of our presidents
have been nntlves of Virginia und no

were born In Virginia, six In Ohio, two
