to any course she embarked upon.
The course she chose was partly a
matter Of environment, partly a mat
ter Of heredity, wholly a matter Of
her own choosing. The spirited ado
lescent doesn't exist who at the age
Of Is doesn't exclaim, Il want to see
everything, want to be everything,
I want to feel everything, I want to
experience everything" These large
desires, however, are curbed by life
and experience. coupled with an &C
quired knowledge of right and wrong,
and aided by the assumption Of re-
sponsibilities.
Bertha expressed these desires and
at the age Of Is set out to satisfy
them. Her training and heredity were
not such as to inculcate conventional
ideals Of morality and social be-
havior. Her physical build and men,
tai slant were over-sexual, her main
objectives were excitement and dan
ger. Life for her was typified not by
achievements in the fields of art. sci
ence or commerce, not by family or
civic relationships, but by "jungles, -
jails, brothels and saloons. Although
educated and intelligent enough to
work occasionally as laboratory
technician and as a social worker
(and who should qualify better for
such a job than she?) she did not
have character enough to hold any
legitimate job for any length Of time.
Although she professed to want her
baby in spite Of the fact that it might
have been sired by any one of Is men,
she would not assume the RESPONSE
bility for its care. Although she pro-
fessed to love her mother, she did not
love her enough to stand by when
her help was needed. There is some
talk Of . moral awakening ut the end
Of the book, but the reader is left with
grave doubts of its authenticity.

oughly documented. beautifully bound

story Of its own. The Virginia
History Committee. feeling the need
for q modern, complete book on the
State, commissioned Dr.. Andrews to
prepare it. He had been engaged in
research work on the subject for some
time. Other historians contributed to
the cause. Every one of the 80 chap
ters was printed separately long be-
fore this book appeared, and sub
mitted to various authorities all over
the world for close review and verifi-
cation. The chapters have all come
back and here they are.
1t Is, Of course, impossible for the
amateur to pit his routine knowledge
OF Virginia history against such q
formidable array of specialists. But it
Is easy to believe that this book is, as
far as is humanity possible, accurate
and unbiased. Certainly there is avail
able nowhere else so complete a his
tory OF Virginia before the Revolution.
DR.. Andrews has uncovered much new
material and his conclusions are orig
inal and frequently daring, although
he never stoops to "debunking" The
nearest he comes is in his revaluation
OF Capt. John Smith. This schooIbook
hero is presented as rather weak man
whose exploits have been exaggerated.
Much more to DR.. Andrews liking Is
John ROlfe whom he calls III. 6r.t
great American inventor.
But this is book about a State and
personalities are minimized. The
temptation must have been great to
digress when the great names Of Vir-
ginia appear, but Dr. Andrews holos
steadily to his course. The result is an
admirable, readable book. The Vir-
ginia Committee wanted q history
without emotionalism, yet with SYM
pathetic understanding That seems
to be exactly what it got.-E. Z.
