ment of history at Trinity, has prac-
tically completed the manuscript for
his study Of the negro problem In
the national capital. II deals with
the status of the negro in the District
Of Columbia and will be published

study of the negro problem In the
district at first hand, and the thor
oughness which has characterized all
OF his research work Is assurance
enough that the latest work of his
pen will be valuable contribution
to a problem which has engaged the
minds Of great many OF Americas
historians and economists.
DIR. Laprade's studies OF English
politics during the French revolu-
tionary period which were published
last year has received high praise
from the critics and reviews on &C
count of the impartiality and thor
oughness with which they are con-
ceived and executed. He has be-
come known as a productive writer
of the first quality on historical sub
jects, and the appearance Of his lat
est work is watched for with good
deal OF interest. The past summer
was spent by him in research work
in the British museum which. 1t is
hoped. will take form In another
volume of studies in English history.
