N2  - "Washington the Model of Character for American Youth" by J. N. M'Jilton is a motivational address written in the mid-19th century. This book, presented as a discourse for young American boys, aims to instill values and character rooted in the example of George Washington. It emphasizes the importance of patriotism, social virtues, and religious faith in the development of a well-rounded American citizen.  In this work, the author presents Washington as the quintessential role model for youth, outlining the qualities that defined him as a character—his dutiful nature, patriotism, and integrity as a Christian. M'Jilton argues that American education should not only focus on knowledge but also on character formation, drawing specific lessons from Washington's life. The address encourages young men to adopt traits such as obedience to parents, affection for siblings, loyalty to friends, and a strong sense of duty to their country and God. Through systematic education and a commitment to character development, the author believes that the youth can emulate Washington and contribute positively to society, ultimately ensuring their personal success as well as the wellbeing of the nation.
