One wonders whether he would offer the same counsel today in response to the absurdly large number of books published about him over the last few months, climaxing earlier this week with the celebration of the 200th anniversary of his birth on Feb. 12th.

• Hawaii's Aloha to the 16th President ; Principal's Gift to School Inspires Generations of Students

Diamond Head, outrigger canoes, Waikiki Beach - all are icons synonymous with the 50th state.

Thanks to a dedicated educator, Lincoln has a special home in the Aloha State, a place that brings him garlands of leis every Feb. 12. "Lincoln the Frontiersman," the work of prodigious American public sculptor Avard T. Fairbanks, has graced the entrance plaza to Ewa Elementary School since 1944 and is the school's beloved mascot.
