This book is intended to be used as a supplementary historical
reader for ... our public schools, or for any other pupils from
twelve to fifteen years of age. It is also designed for collateral
reading in connection with the study of a formal text-book on
American history. The period here included is the first fifty years
of our national life. No attempt has been made, however, to present
a connected account, or to furnish a bird's-eye view, of this half
century. It is the universal testimony of experienced teachers that
such materials as are pervaded with reality serve a useful purpose
with young pupils. The reason is plain. Historical matter that is
instinct with human life attracts and holds the attention of boys
and girls, and whets their desire to know more of the real meaning
of their country's history. For this reason the authors have
selected rapid historical narratives, treating of notable and
dramatic events, and have embellished them with more details than
is feasible within the limits of most school-books. Free use has
been made of personal incidents and anecdotes, which thrill us
because of their human element, and smack of the picturesque life
of our forefathers. ... In the preparation of this book, old
journals, original records and documents, and sundry other
trustworthy sources have been diligently consulted and freely
utilized. ALBERT F. BLAISDELL & FRANCIS K. BALL, 1903 Visit our

We have just learned that the pitch of sound depends on the
rapidity of the vibrations. This depends on the length of cords and
their tightness for the shorter and tighter a string is, the higher
is the note which its vibration produces. The vocal cords of women
are about one-third shorter than those of men, hence the higher
pitch of the notes they produce. In children the vocal cords are
shorter than in adults. The cords of tenor singers are also shorter
than those of basses and baritones. The muscles within the larynx,
of course, play a very important part in altering the tension of
the vocal cords.
This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for

an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the
digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books
may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading
experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have
elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.
