Author of Abraham Lincoln:
 The War Years just published by
 Harcourt, Brace and Company.
 Lincoln research. As a boy he knew Lincoln's neighborhood and men who remembered Lincoln. In the last twenty years he has travelled Amer lea from coast to coast dozen times ransacking more than hundred libraries for their Lincoln material. and talking to the sons and daugh- ters of people who remembered Lin- coin. He has studied Lincolns own writings, his printed speeches and letters Ca great volume of material than the complete works of Shake- speare), and he includes in The War Years some hitherto unpublished and uncollected items of Lincolns utterance. Aside from this basic Lin- colniana, there were hundreds of books about Lincoln and masses of newspapers and magazines of the period to be examined. He searched the notes and papers of generals, ofiicials, diplomats contemporary with Lincoln; the marching and battle orders in the l33 volumes of the Official Record Of the Rebellion; the files of the Congressional Globe from 1852 to 1878. Every scrape of the essential record has been faith fully examined. It is probably safe to say that the reader need look no further than this book for any now known and authentic Lincolniana.
 To this formal research was added study of the civilization which shaped Lincoln and his contempo- raries-the songs people sang, the poems they recited, the proverbs they spoke, their clothes, their jokes their amusements. And there was the study of the world beyond, the things happening outside of Amer lea that influenced Lincoln and American politics. Thus to the tools of scholarship have been added the workings of a vital historic imagina- ton.
 The Living Lincoln
 Abraham Lincoln: The War Years will be called the greatest life of Lincoln yet written, and 1t will re- main standard for many years, but these facts do not begin to suggest the immense appeal, the marvellous readability, the true genius of the work. It is a great book from a scholarly point of view, for no other biographer has gone so deep into the thousands of historic facts about Lincoln, nor cast so far and wide for the thousands of other related facts to portray Lincoln and his America. But this is a greater book from the average readers point of view, for heer is presented to him the living Lincoln. This is Lincoln rescued from the historians, the Lincoln who lived. not the great man now dead. This is Lincoln whole, every thing that happened to him and to the people who surrounded him. In its biographical sketches of scores of major figures of the period. in its thousands of stories and its masses of Americana, 1t utilizes the material of dozens of books. And in its re- markable method of making the reader live with Lincoln and his time, it provides a completely dif- ferent experience from any other biography of Lincoln or, for that matter. of any man of any time. The following excerpts from sand.

Parents Urged
To Watch Polio

The present day parent can send
his child to school knowing that
there are projections for him which
will prevent some of the scourge
Of the pastLdiphtheria and small
pox. In addition to this he can give
his child a chance to start his school
life free from impeachment. A health
examination before entering school
is a necessity in order that the child
will not be hampered by physical de-
fects which will make him miser-
able and unable to cooperate in
this adventure OF learning.
Parents who have neglected to
have heir children protected
against diphtheria and small pox
should realize that the greater num-
Der of children with whom his child
will be brought in contact means
greater exposure to diphtheria. DR..
Henry F. Vaughan. commissioner of
health. reports that an increasing
number Of Detroit parents have be-
come conscious Of their obligations
to their children who enter school
for the first time Each year larg-
er number OF these children report
10 school with physical eXamina-
ton blanks recording the health
status OF the child. DR. Vaughn
states that for those parents who
have neglected this responsibility,
the present time is the one to cor
rect this neglect.

ports total OF 377 cases Of polio

Der 8, 1899 OF which 81 are active
