sn organism united for the trial Of
strength, and when the strain is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child. and 8

There is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother of chill
dren, and indeed childbirth under right
conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty The unexplainable thing Is
that with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, womer
will persist in going gblindly to the trial.
It isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare. bui

and pay the penalty.

when Grant and Lincoln met on
that fatal last day of Lincoln's life
there came together in the persons Of
the patient, imaginative Lincoln and
the practical, silent Grant, the rep
resentatives at that time for all time
of American prestige and possibilities.
Different in physique, in personality
and in mental process, both were yet
alike in exhaustless faith and quench-
less maganimity.
"As the thinning ranks Of your i'm
mortal legions pass, with the valor of
old, down the years to come, would
live with you the thought that the
American idea sheds luster through

in war and unparalleled magnanim-
ity in peace.

unborn, will bless YOU"

Dean Cloyd of Highland Park college
has just completed, after months of
careful preparation, lecture on Five
Great Books by Five Great Amer
icans," illustrated by a very fine set
of expensive pictures made especially
for this lecture. This lecture is unique
in every respect and is most vital in
the presentation of types Of distinct
lively American life through most H.
Illuminating study of five of Americas
best books. The lecture is historic, lit
erary, pedagogical and inspirational.
Any one interested either as a stu
dent, parent or teacher, would find
satisfaction and profit in listening to
this lecture. To illustrate, one of the
books, Ramona, by Helen Hunt Jack
son, deals with the Mission Indians of
southern California, in exposing and
correcting the inhuman and ruthless
treatment of the American Indian at
the hands Of the early American pion-
GERS. The place given in this lecture to
each of the other books, as we'll, deals
with type of American history and
civilization. Prof. Cloyd has chosen
five books that could not have been
written any where in the world except
in America and could not have been
written by anybody but Americans.
The books and authors alluded to in
the lecture aside from Helen Hunt
Jackson were:
Little women" Alcott; Scarlet
Letter" Hawthorne; "a Boys Town."
Howells; and tom Sawyer" Twain.
Principal F. M. Hammitt Of the high
school will lecture this afternoon on
psychology.
