THE STORY or "AMERICA.-
Where Written and When Frst

The history of a national hymn is worth
knowing, even though the hymn was Wrfffnn
under ordinary conditions. The author Oh
"America," Samuel F. Smith, had no idea That
his little outburst of patriotic feeling and loyal
ty to his native land woven into verse In his
early manhood would be sung throughout the
length and breadth of the land in his old ago
and in the ages to follow his own day. Indeed
no one was more surprised than was the young
poet at the popularity of his song. written ono

After leaving Harvard young Smith, who had
determined to become a minister, went to tho

still see in that interesting old town the house

ness Of it that in no part of the civil
lied world has human progress been
so marked with the last quarter Of the
last century as in the state of Kan

moreover, that this development has
been due not to vast deposits Of min
