No truly great book needs an ex-
PLANTATION of its aim and purpose. a
great book just grows, as has this
Book of Wonders.
It began with the attempt of a
father to answer the natural questions
of the active mind of a growing boy.
1t developed into a nightly search for
plain, understandable answers to such
questions as What makes it night?
Where does the wind begin?" why
is the sky blue?" why does It hurt
when I cut my finger?" why doesn't
it hurt when 1 cut my hair?" why
does wood f1oat?' why does iron
sink?" why doesn't an iron ship
sink?" on through the maze of thou
sands of puzzling questions which oc-
cur to the child's mind. II has grown
until the answers 10 the mere ques-
tons cover practically the entire
range of everyday knowledge and
has been arranged in such a form
that any child may now find the an
swer to his own inquiries.
As the mind of the child natures
the questions naturally drift toward
the things which the genius of man

pleasure. We have become so accus-
toned to the use and benefits of these
wonders produced by men that we
generally leave out of our books the
stories of our great industries, and
yet the mind of the child wonders
and inquiries about them. We have
so long worn clothes made of wool or
cotton. that We have forgotten the
wonder there is in making a bolt of
cloth. Every industry has a fasct-
mating story equal to that Of the silk
worm, which moves his head 65
times a minute while spinning his
thousand yards of silk.

How glass IS made2 How the music

others that embrace the captivating
tales Of how man has made use of the
wonders Of nature and turned them
to his advantage and comfort? The
Book of Wonders does this with iltu-
minating pictures which stimulate The
mind and give birds-eye view of
each subject step by step.
Where should such a book begin?
Should It begin with the Story OF How
Man Learned to Light a Fire?-he
could not cook his food, see at night.
or keep warm without a fire; or
should it begin with How Man
Learned to Shoot-he could not pro-
tect himself against the beasts OF the
forest, and, Therefore, could not
move about, till the soil, or obtain

shoot or destroy.
to know before he could really become
civilized? Some means OF course. by
which the things he learned-the
knowledge he had acquired-could be
handed down to those who came after
him so that they might go on with the
intelligence handed down to them.
This required some means OF record
ing his knowledge. Man had TO learn

be no Book of Wonders, and the book.

Of How Man Learned 10 Write.

of its exceptional useful
