self-education. Less than a dozen
books as a library; an unconquerable
determination to get knowledge, and
keen observation comprised the span
of Lincoln's opportunity for educa-
ton, yet his biography, writings and
speeches are quoted today and turned
to more than any others for guidance
and authority in settlement of diverg-
ent problems.

be asserted that the National Capital

It is her autobiography filled with

with the sturdy spirit of the pioneers

What America needs, Mrs. Wilson
believes, is :. return to higher re-
