" One evening Prof. Newcomb found his daughter Anita, now Mrs. 

 (Dr.) McGee. poring over an algebra which he thought too abstruse for 

 a beginner. ' Put it aside,' he said, ' I will write you something to 

 study.' Be began at once and wrote a lesson for her, and after this 

 wrote every evening her lesson for the next day. A complete algebra 

 was the result. This was finally published, and a whole series of Mathe- 

 matical books followed." — New York Tribune.
