By HARRY HANSEN 3 Books for White House. New Tomes on Economics. Mills Views with Alarm. Child Life in Pictures. WHEN President Roosevelt looks over today's new books he may or may not want to add one of three titles tog the White House library. First his eye will light upon "What of Tomor- row?" by Ogden L. Mills. Then he will see "Labor, Industry and Government," by Matthew Woll. And then, perhaps, he will come to a P.P.F. book of photographs of school children called "Will- ingly to School." If he feels the way I do about these tons of books on economic subjects he will welcome "Willingly to School." Here is a book with a jacket and end- papers practically inviting itself into your home. A book about happy, carefree school children getting an education in the things with which they come into contact in their daily lives. In the words of 9-R John Dewey:-"Education can connect school with life. This book proves it." "Willingly to School" describes, in splendid photo- graphs, the work of the children of the Fox Meadow School. The title page gives credit first of all to Wendell MacRae, photographer, as it should. Com- ments are made by the school staff. Claire T. Zyve has directed the book and William H. Kilpatrick, of Teachers College, Columbia, has written an apprecia- tive foreword. Carolyn Macdonald has also pro- vided comment. The photographs show children meeting the milk- man, playing games, observing birds and beasts and fishes, bartering, drawing, feeding animals, engag- ing in activities of all kinds and discussing them in school. The photographs must interest every edu- cator, for they tell more than many pages of de- scription. Contacts are important-getting ac- quainted with others and understanding how they live and meet their problems. This has a definite influence on the bearing of the child in school. The educators call this "the integration of school with life." (Round Table Press; $3.) BINGHAM, Hon. Robert W. Louisville, Ky. Jan. 23,1935 President wrote that only the other day he discovered that very wonderful rod and reel and he is deeply grateful for them. Hopes to get off at the end of March to do some fishing.

My dear Miss Meredith: The little volume of Lincoln addresses, which you acknowledge under date of February 14, was addressed to President Roosevelt but marked to receive Mr. Early's attention in view of the fact that he had been the inter- mediary between the White House and myself in a transaction which this book closed. The President had been good enough to acceed to amsuggestion of mine that he write and sign a tribute to Lincoln for permanent display in our Lincoln Library. By his further permission the tribute was given to the Press on Lincoln's birthday. The action itself was all graciousness and the expression in exceptional taste. The little book, reporting a delightful occasion, participated in by Ambassador Dodd among others, was sent the President in some small acknowledg- ment of his fine courtesy. I shall, accordingly, appreciate it if someone in the office will take occasion to drop it quietly on his desk in passing with a brief word of our gratitude.

Mills. Then he will see\n\"Labor, Industry and Government,\" by Matthew\nWoll. And then, perhaps, he will come to a\nP.P.F.\nbook of photographs of school children called \"Will-\ningly to School.\"\nIf he feels the way I do about these tons of books\non economic subjects he will welcome \"Willingly to\nSchool.\" Here is a book with a jacket and end-\npapers practically inviting itself into your home. A\nbook about happy, carefree school children getting\nan education in the things with which they come\ninto contact in their daily lives. In the words of\n9-R\nJohn Dewey:-\"Education can connect school with\nlife. This book proves it.\"\n\"Willingly to School\" describes, in splendid photo-\ngraphs, the work of the children of the Fox Meadow\nSchool. The title page gives credit first of all to\nWendell MacRae, photographer, as it should. Com-\nments are made by the school staff. Claire T. Zyve\nhas directed the book and William H. Kilpatrick, of\nTeachers College, Columbia, has written an apprecia-\ntive foreword. Carolyn Macdonald has also pro-\nvided comment.\nThe photographs show children meeting the milk-\nman, playing games, observing birds and beasts and\nfishes, bartering, drawing, feeding animals, engag-\ning in activities of all kinds and discussing them in\nschool. The photographs must interest every edu-\ncator, for they tell more than many pages of de-\nscription. Contacts are important-getting ac-\nquainted with others and understanding how they\nlive and meet their problems. This has a definite\ninfluence on the bearing of the child in school. The\neducators call this \"the integration of school with\nlife.\" (Round Table Press; $3.)\nBINGHAM, Hon.
