France has had a richer legislative experience in matters of nationality than any other country. Scarcely a decade has passed since the Revolution in which some project for legislation has not been proposed, and during the intervals between these projects the subject has been kept alive by very intelligent discussion on the part of statesmen and writers. A resumé of French legislation will indicate the trend of thought in France and throw light upon the policies behind the present law. In so brief a summary as is here presented it will be impossible, however, to refer to the numerous proposals which never passed beyond the stage of debate. We shall confine ourselves to the laws as adopted, and these will suffice for our purpose.The law existing in France immediately anterior to the Revolution conferred French nationality on persons (1) born on French soil; (2) born in a foreign country of a French father who had not established his domicile in that country nor lost his intent to return, provided the person so born returned to France.

In the contest of the western powers of Europe to colonize the New World, France, owing to a mistaken policy, failed completely and saw her flag and sovereignty practically driven back from this hemisphere. The early attempts of Admiral de Coligny to colonize the Huguenots first in Brazil and then in Florida, were, owing to the indifference and even opposition of the French crown, abortive. And in the later effort of the French crown to colonize in Canada and Louisiana, the attempt to bring over the remains of feudalism as opposed to the strong individualism that characterized the English settlers, reinforced by the Hollanders in New Netherlands, the Swedes and the Germans in Pennsylvania, and the Huguenots in Virginia and the Carolinas, doomed the French settlers, in the valley of the Saint Lawrence and at the mouth of the Mississippi, to defeat in their effort to extend their language and supremacy over the continent of North America.

The League of Women Voters of Texas is a non-partisan organization that works to promote political responsibility through active informed participation of all citizens in their government. In 1919, the Texas Equal Suffrage Association evolved into the Texas League of Women Voters, and today is recognized as the League of Women Voters of Texas. Their hallmark activity is the circulation of Voters' Guides through newspapers prior to elections; locally, regionally, statewide, and nationally. The League's intent is dissemination of information on political candidates, and the objective promotion of "political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government." The organization's efforts, however, are by no means limited to politics, but also address issues on water, health care, hazardous wastes, education, energy, and such international concerns as the United Nations. ; The records of the League of Women Voters of Texas also reflect socio-economic changes in the United States with the active organizational membership drives of the mid to late 1970s in response to American society's evolution into a two income family. Collectively, the materials provide researchers with invaluable insight into politics and political concerns on an international, national, statewide, and local basis. ; The collection consists of materials from national, state, and local files, financial materials, photographs, and publications of the National, Texas, and local leagues, as well as other state leagues. Also included are a study of the national league, scrapbooks, memorabilia, vice-presidential program files, and printed materials. The focus of the collection is on state committees and local units. ; Highlights from the donation include the original 1919 minutes from the Texas Equal Suffrage Association authorizing the organizational conversion to the Texas League of Women Voters, films produced by the group on legislative processes, the 104th Congressional recognition given and signed by Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison on the 75th anniversary of the League of Women Voters of Texas, and the flag that flew over the Texas capitol on that day.

The Dawes plan for recovering the reparation debt of Germany to the Allies under the Treaty of Versailles was accepted by all of the interested parties at London on August 16, 1924, and certain agreements necessary to enable the plan to be brought into operation were drawn up and initialed.Formal signatures to them were attached on August 30th after the French Parliament had approved the work of the conference on August 24th and 26th, and the laws for carrying the plan into effect had been passed by the German Reichstag on August 29th. The process of putting the plan into operation was thereupon promptly started. Immediately after the signatures had been attached on August 30th, the French Government issued instructions for the evacuation of a section of the Ruhr, and the Reparation Commission on the same day announced the appointment of the principal officials who are to administer the plan, namely, the Agent General for Reparation Payments, Mr. Owen D.Young of the United States, ad interim,(the appointment of Mr. Seymour Parker Gilbert, formerly Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury, as the permanent Agent General was announced September 4th); Trustee of the Railway Bonds, M. Delacroix of Belgium; Trustee of the Industrial Debentures, Signor Nogara of Italy; Commissioner of Controlled Revenue, Mr. Andrew McFadyean of Great Britain. Two days later, namely, on September 1st, the first instalment of twenty million (20,000,000) gold marks, due from Germany under the plan, was paid to the Agent General for Reparation Payments, and the second instalment was promptly paid ten days later. On September 4th,the restrictions placed upon the movement of persons, goods and vehicles between occupied and unoccupied Germany were removed, and four days later the eastern customs line between the same territories was abolished. On September 10th, the first of the Ruhr political prisoners were set at liberty.

This volume takes favorable position among the publications of the Southampton Record Society. It will be followed by a second and final volume. Because.of the rarity in America of the publications of the Record Society, it is well to draw the attention of Romance scholars and students of law and customs to this valuable book. The MS. which Mr. Studer publishes has been preserved at Southampton for six centuries. It derives its name from being bound in oak. The editor identifies this MS. with one frequently mentioned earlier under the name of the Paxbread." The first portion of the MS. appears to date from about 1300. The oldest entries are in Norman-French; others are in a medieval Latin which is but thinly disguizd French; only a few later notes are in English. The text offers a clear impression of the government of the town, of the powers and privilèges of the Guild Merchant. The language, of course, is of interest to the filologist, and adds not a little to the volume of publisht Norman-French. An idea of the value of the text may be obtained from an article which Mr.Studer has recently publisht in the Modern Language Review, vol. VI, pp. 174-82: Etude sur quelques Vocables Anglo-Normands.

A two-page letter from Frank B. Wilson to Frank N. Seerely, dated May 24th, 1916. In this letter, Wilson tells Seerley about what he is doing in Canada. He also informs him that he intends to keep in touch with his friends at Springfield and send news later on. ; Frank B. Wilson (1889-1969) was born in Kingston, Ontario. He attended school in Ottawa, where his father opened a bicycle store which ultimately developed into one of the city's first automobile sales outlets. Frank attended Stanstead College (Class of 1908) and later enrolled at Springfield College (Class of 1916). Wilson went overseas in World War I as a captain in the 2nd division, being attached to the Canadian YMCA war services. In 1917 he was promoted to the Adjutant of the Overseas War Services. On his discharge he served for a year with the National Council of YMCA and, prior to his return to Montreal, studied education psychology at Columbia University. It was in 1928 that he first became associated with the Mutual Life Assurance Company. At the outbreak of World War II, he volunteered for overseas duty but was turned down. Instead he chose to contribute his services by organizing entertainment for the armed forces, becoming chairman of the Auxiliary Services Entertainment Committee for the Montreal Military District No. 4. In 1941 he was appointed personnel superintendent of the D.I.L. shell-filling plant at Bouchard near Ste. Therese, which post gave him the opportunity to boost the morale of hardworking employees there. After 2.5 years he was able to return to his insurance post. He passed away on May 27 1969. Frank N. Seerley graduated from the International Young Men's Christian Association College in 1890 and began working at the college as an instructor in the same year. He served as a member of the Springfield Board of Education from 1896 to 1912. In 1907, he served as an official lecturer for the American Society of Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis. From 1917 to 1918, he gave lectures on sex hygiene in encampments for the War Work Council. After World War 1, he served as Dean of Springfield College from 1918 to 1934. Seerley was awarded the Tarbell Medallion in 1942.
