Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Real Things in Nature: A Reading Book of Science for American Boys and Girls
The children who read this book ought to know before they read it what use it is going to be to them. Let us see. The book is owned by an American school boy (or school girl) who was born ten or twelve years ago and who expects to live in this world fifty or sixty years more. Fifty years is a very long time - think of all the things that have happened in the last fifty years - and then think forward what may happen in the next fifty years - things that may happen in the world, in this our country, or to you.
