TWO BOOKS ON VITAL QUESTIONS FOR THOUGHTFUL AMERICANS

THE NEGRO AND THE NATION

By GEORGE S. MERRIAM

Probably the first complete history of the negro in his relation to
our politics, _2d printing_ 436 pp. $1.75 net. By mail $1.92.

The Rev. EDWARD EVERETT HALE in "Lend a Hand": "Sensible people who
wish to know, who wish to form good sound opinions, and especially
those who wish to take their honest part in the great duties of the
hour, will read the book, will study it, and will find nothing else
better worth reading and study."

"Admirable, exactly the sort of book needed.... Enlightened and
persuasive discussion of the negro problem in its present phases and

there is philosophy of national and political life back of it--a
philosophy which not only furnished interpretation of past events, but
offers guidance for the future.... Impartial and informing.... There
is much that tempts quotation.... Mr. Merriam has given us an
excellent, high-minded, illuminating book on the problem of the
American negro."--_Chicago Record-Herald._

"A deeply interesting story.... An exceedingly readable volume,
especially valuable in its analyses of conditions, causes, situations
and results; and against his main conclusions no sane person can
contend."--_Boston Transcript._

is a substantial contribution to our knowledge of trad
