Mrs. Selden 5. Deemer, OF New Castle.
chairman OF the State Commission for
the Feeble Minded. now has associated
with her. In an advisory capacity. in
her work, Miss Elizabeth s. Kite, for
merly of Philadelphia, a talented wo-
man who now Is a member OF the staff
of the Nineland Research Laboratory
and the author OF an historical work
entitled "Beaumarchais and the war OF
human independence"
Miss Kite has been visiting the Deem
ers. incidentally, she has been inquir-
ing into the historical past OF that town
and its old families, especially the Rod
neys.
Since the present war started nearly
four years ago, there has been a gen
eral spontaneous movement toward in
ternati0nal comradeship, and this has
given place to a desire 20 forget all
former and more or less historical
jealousles and combine for the single
purpose OF putting down the Hun.
This state OF things, fortunately, has
been prOpitious for the telling Of facts
in our past history that heretofore
either were not understood OF failed
10 excite interest. Principal among
these was the vast debt we owe TO
France, and the debt. even now only
partly paid, which this nation owed 10
Beaumarchais.
II was with some such sensing Of
the nations state Of mind that Miss
Elizabeth :. Kite. formerly OF Philadel-
phia and now connected with the Vine
land Research Laboratory. has Just Is
sued a life Of the author OF The Mar
riage Of Figaro"
Miss Kite Is a psychologist. and nat
urally ought 10 be able 10 select the
sO-called psychologlcal moment for IS
suing her work. That she has done so,
there can be no shadow Of doubt.
Every American who desires 20 have
historic background for the renewed in
ternational antilles should read this alb
sorbing work. He Will find in II ro-
nance that is beyond fiction. an interest
that transcends the ephemeral en-
OF today.
Miss Kite tells the amazing story with
a transparency and directness that
makes for graphic recital and easy
reading. She has had access TO hiiher- |
10 unpublished documents Of many
kinds and the result Is an authority |
and an authenticity that are remark |
able. James NJ. Beck has written an
fOreword that in no way
overstates the value and the interest OF
the biography.
Americans will blush when they read I
how the generosity Of this great genius
was repaid by America. The petty hag-

10 TO US Delawareans. Miss Kite her
self is well known throughout the
State, owing 20 her close connection
with Mrs. 5. S. Deemer OF New Castle,
in her campaign for the feeble-minded.
More than this, Miss Kite points with

known Delaware family. Her ancestor
Michael Hall BOnwlll. OF French de-
scent, came 10 Delaware from the East

lie built several mills In the southern
part OF the State and u was at one OF
these. near Fredericka, that Miss Kites
mother was born. But perhaps the
most striking coincidence OF all is in
connection with the Rodney family.
As Miss Kite tells US In the preface,
she wrote the book more than a dozen
years ago, but withheld u from the
press because OF the indifference OF The
American public at that time. But her
interest in revolutionary matters never
tagged. When she came into Delaware
under the direction Of Mrs. Deemer. she
soon became aware OF the immense field
the State offered for historical re-
search. The story Of Rodney's daring
ride for freedom innamed her magma
tion so that that portion Of the old
Kings Highway which passes through
Deemer's grounds became her fayorite
place for exercise.
With Americas entry into the great
war. interest began so rapidly TO CEN
ter in France that Miss Kite judged
the time ripe 20 launch her book. on
taking up her MSS. again she was
surprised and delighted 10 find the
name Of Caesar Rodney. attorney gen.
eral OF the United States, figuring

courtesy OF the Rodney family OF New
