...address by Mr. Rhodes, which commanded such close and pleased attention in Sanders Theatre last June, is preserved in its pages. Mr. Rhodes finds in the steadfastness, humility, and humanity of Lincoln during the dark days of our Civil War an example which may be of value to present European statesmen. The picture which he gives of Lincoln is intimate, kindly yet critical, and suffused with a genial humor.

America has always been weak in accurate knowledge of her own material and social condition. Indeed it is a significant fact that our economists frequently have to go to European countries for statistical evidence. This they must then attempt to apply to American conditions,-a task which will become more difficult, if the United States succeeds in remaining the only first class nation not devastated by war. At present most economic data in this country is collected by government bureaus, which, as Professor Bullock points out, are always liable to political influences. Particularly do those more fundamental fields of study...
