Sinopsis

Excerpt from Prairie Years

To one who knew her intimately through many phases of her development and activity, even these contrasting interests are but fragmentary revelations of her depth and delicacy of feeling, her liveliness of imagination, her spirited and eager enthusiasm, her fidelity of memory, her fortitude, her intellectual grasp and scope, - a richness of endowment all too rare in the history of human nature.

The scientific papers of Leta Stetter Hollingworth are to be collected in accessible volumes so that all who read may know them. This booklet may, in addition, record for those who knew her best some of the more relaxed and perhaps more playful moments of her spiritual activity.

Excerpt from Prairie Years

As for me, I think I could care above all things to have my life absorbed by human beings-just to give as much as I have to people. I believe that they are as willing and eager to absorb one's life as lawns are, or kettles or hats. I conceive of it as terrible to lie at the end of the world on one's death bed, and look back only upon rows and rows of shining kettles or "good investments" or medicine bottles, emptied in the interests of one's "health." I have that sinking feeling when I think of it. Such things seem to me so pitifully futile, but there is more comfort in the thought of life being absorbed by life again. So I should prefer to give what I have to human beings, since give it somewhere we all must.
