Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Minnesota: Its Resources and Possibilities
S knowledge accumulates and Opportunity for observation (51 broadens, thoughtful minds are more and more inclined to look to the physical world for the causes of conditions among men. It is a fact, hard and rugged as it may appear to the sentimental mind, that man is a true child of nature. The warm days of a springtime are enervating. One feels a lethargy stealing over him as the high nerve tension of winter gives place to the greater indolence of the summer months. Resist it as he will, the body cannot respond to ambitious effort. The proverbial shiftlessness of the south and the shriveled and narrowed physiques and intellects of the high north are well attested facts.
The laws which direct the course of things extend to the human race and bind man down to the conditions which surround him, except so far as a touch of the divine gives him power to modify himself or to bring under his own control the surround ings under which he passes.
