No historic love. no Romance. no genius. except perhaps just the genius for helping humanity, the kind anybody may develop. That Is no doubt the reason so few people do develop It. Among the very few American women who have shown really superb qualities. let me call your attention again to the fact that two were Indians squaws.
 Of the four monuments to great American women the three already finished have been dedicated within the last four years. Two of them were built by the generous state of Illinois. One. that of Frances F. Willard. is in statuary hall at the capitol in Wash ington. But In all the 13O years since this republic was started, Frances Will lard Is the only woman who ever got there.
