Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of Chicago and National Development 1534-1910 This little book has been prepared by several hands as a text to be used by educators in teaching the things of the middle West, particularly Chicago. Mrs. Atkinson, the author of the original, produced a charming story for boys and girls and won many friends in their ranks as well as among educators all over the United States. We have had many requests for the story in book form. In response to repeated requests we ran the story a second time in our magazine, The Worlds Chronicle. Now we meet the further demands and present it in book form. The editors of The World´s Chronicle have worked over most of the details in an attempt to bring the story down to date. The whirl of events in the city are such that ink hardly dries on an article on Chicago before the writing becomes out of date because of the march of events. We have almost despaired of giving figures for anything in this book because the figures of good things grow so rapidly over night. Yet we have persisted in giving them, trusting to our ability to revise as time goes on, and believing the schools need the figures of this year now and that orders will come for revised editions every year. We plan to sell out our editions fast enough to keep the story ever new and true. Special thanks are due to The Chicago Association of Commerce for data supplied, to the city archivist, to the librarian of the Chicago Historical Society, and to many individuals who have assisted us in making the work as accurate and interesting as it now is. Suggestions from educators using the work will be gladly received and thankfully, for we know such suggestions will come in time for an early revision. When a city grows 10, 000 a month no set of writers can keep pace with all its progress. So we invite the help of our friends. A statement of the main fact regarding the present state of the city is being carried forward from week to week in the Illinois Teachers Edition of The Worlds Chronicle with a view to issuing a second book or of adding pages to the original in its next edition. The city government, city hall, fire department, police department, health department, the county government, that of the state, the parks, water supply, sewers, care oi streets, transportation, gas and electric lighting, tunnels, and plans for improvement of the city, are all proper subjects for more complete treatment than could be given in the present limits of the work. The industries of the city, such as the Stock Yards, the rolling mills, the grain trade, the manufacture of agricultural implements, the lumber trade, machinery, electrical supplies, furniture, books, musical instruments, boots, shoes and clothing, are all to be given close attention as a supplement to the present work for the use of teachers and pupils who desire to know them minutely and accurately. Chicago is a great subject. We trust we have laid enough of it before our readers to give them a better appreciation of its greatness.
