which my father knew and loved, the
America Of Lincoln and Grant and
Roosevelt and Howells, an America
to which I can never return except
upon the wings of memory or of
dreams. The America in which my
children must work and suffer and
rejoice is another world, a more in
tricate world. a polyglot world. a
world which is not America as l

that it is to be q greater world, a

a mere compilation OF entertaining

made of II a highly suggestive dis

more interesting because it is not
presented from any lofty scientific
altitude. It's strongest note is sym

and appreciate what the animal Oh
