axiomatic that genius does not transmit Itself and tlmt the sons of great men rarely If ever turn out to be great Certainly that has been as true In America as Iri other nations although we have had a few fam Hies which over a period of years have contributed aevernl in Idlvlduals of distinction Two of these Which come readiest to mind nre the iLees who during the Revolution produced a statesman and a soldier both of more than ordinary ability and dur Civil war a really great milng the litary leader and the Harrisons who produced a Revolutionary war states lnn and two Presidents Rut if It Is necessary to And an ex eeptlon to prove the rule It may be found 'perhaps In the statement made by some one that "American history Is all cluttered up with Adamses" For "In America there Is one fnmily and only one that generation after genera tlon has consistently and without terruption mode cohtrlbutlons of the highest order to our history and civThose are the words of ilization” James Truslow Adams (who by the yray Is a Virginia Adams and not related to the Massachusetts family of whom he writes) la the prologue to his book "The Adams Family” published recently by Little Brown and company of Boston The Adams family was established In America about 10110 when a certain Henry Adams probably because of a combination of religious and economic reasons decided to leave Englund and try his luck In the New world By lmnce he settled at a place called Braintree In Massachusetts He married and had children who In turn taarrled and handed down the family mine This went on for four generations without producing any man of until we come to John distinction Adams a farmer and shoemaker In Braintree married Susanna Itoylston daughter of a family prominent In the medical history of the colooy “With the fifth generation In the person of John Adams historian publicist diplomat President of the United Stntes the family not only suddenly achieves national and International position but maintains It In successive for two centuries Was It generations due to some mysterious result from the combination of Adams and blood far beyond the ken of science even today or to some unfathomable synchronism between the peculiar qualities of the 'Adamses and the whole social atmosphere of the next few generations a subtle Interplay of unknown forces or (o mere chance In a universe in which atoms rush and collide chaotically) Fascinating as Is the problem It Is Insoluble All we shall see Is that without warning like a ‘fault’ la the geologic record there Is a sudden and Immense rise recorded in the psychical energy of the family" The stage was set lor the first great Adams John to play his part lu American history when the dispute between England and her rebellious colonies sent him to the Continental congresses where clear heads were headed to see that Indeiwndence was evitable and union of tbe colonies While most Americana think of the Revolution mainly In terms of Thomas Jefferson George Washington Benjamin Franklin and a few others of spectacular deeds the true history of those times could not be written without the name of John Adams It was he who had much to do with fringing congress to the point of debis was the claring Independence master stroke which caused the adoption of the New England troops around Boston as a Continental army and Intercolonial

Quincy 1th him to begin his Adurns going education In European schools and after a brief stay there and a brief return to this country he went back to England as one of the commissioners to arrange the terms of tits treaty of peace and later to become Amerl' can minister at the Court of St James Ills career as vice president and finally as President completes the pattern of the life of this first great Adams In 'John Quincy Adams the second generation kept up the standard set hy the first and even advanced It Be fore he waa seventeen years of age he was prlvnte secretary to the minister to Russia and to his own futher In Paris and In London On his birthday after his graduation from Harvard President Washington solit him as minister to The Hague and later to Portugal Prussia and

the Monroe doctrine though It has come down In history bearing the name of the Virginia Pres Like Ida father be failed of re dlenL election to the Presidency but hi great years cante during his service as from the Plymouth din congressman trlct when lie stood almost alone In defense of constitutional government during the period of the slavery dispute Finally he died at his desk worn out In the service of the republic The third generation of Adamses did not produce another President but It did keep up the family tradition of diplomatic service to the nation and If there were any way to evaluate comparative worth of national and lu ternatlonal service It might show that the contribution of Charles Francis Adams was Just as great as were those of John and John Quincy Originally a Democrat he turned Whig lu defense of freedom and union After a career as editor and congressman his great opportunity came when Lincoln and Seward sent him to the post his father and hlg grandfather had held — minister to England There he checkmated the Confedsuccessfully erate attempts to recognition and when his firmness forced Lord Russell to forbid the t rams to leave the shipyards for Confederate service he sealed the doom of the southern cause And as a member of the Alabama claims commission his conciliatory spirit tempered sent to THE 8T0RY Linda Haverhill's fathor dies when she
