IX PUBLICATIONS. One of the most important functions of The State Historical Society of Iowa is publication; and to this end a library is maintained and scientific research and investigations are initiated and directed. THE IOWA JOURNAL OF HISTORY AND POLITICS. This is a quarterly magazine of history and politics which was established in 1903 to succeed The Iowa Historical Record, which was discontinued in October, 1902. During the biennial period under review The Iowa Journal of History and Politeis has been enlarged from 136 to 160 pages per number. This publication is an effort to bring to the study of Iowa history a critical and scholarly attitude; for it is evident that the time has come when the study of State and local history should be characterized by the same scholarship and the same critical methods as stamp the best efforts in the field of general American history. The leading contributions which have appeared during the years, 1904 and 1905 are as follows: THE FIRST ELECTIONS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, By Charles Oscar Paullin. SOME IOWA MOUNDS-AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL SURVEY, THE ORIGIN AND THE HISTORY OF THE IOWA IDEA, By George Evan Roberts. SHELBY COUNTY-A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY, By John J. Louis, THE IOWA DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, By Caroline Clifford Burbank. THE AMERICAN POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION, By Paul S. Reinsch.
