Excerpt from Transactions of the Illinois State Historical Society for the Year 1921: Twenty-Second Annual Meeting of the Society, Springfield, Illinois, May 10 11, 1921 It is the desire of the committee that this annual publication of the Society supplement, rather than parallel or rival, the distinctly official publications of the State Historical Library. In historical research, as in so many other fields, the best results are likely to be achieved through the cooperation of private initiative with public authority. It was to promote such cooperation and mutual undertaking that this Society was organized. Teachers of history, whether in schools or colleges, are especially urged to do their part in bringing to this publication the best results of local research and historical scholarship.
