Excerpt from Our Wonderful Progress, the World's Triumphant Knowledge and Works: A Vast Treasury and Compendium of the Achievements of Man and the Works of Nature The educational qualities of the work have been kept prominently in mind from the first planning of it. Never before was there so great a demand for the knowledge which is power. What the world wants is the man who knows. This is the age of universal education. There is no excuse for ignorance to-day. The demand for men of broad mental equipment is never wholly supplied. The positions demanding such men are much more numerous than qualified candidates to fill them. The men whose energy and ambition prompt them to strive patiently for mental improvement in spare hours, are few in number, compared with the vast majority content to stagnate, year after year, in poorly paid subordinate positions. Those who pay court to knowledge by systematic home study, eventually secure the choice places. The field is open, the opportunities were never more numerous. It is believed that the volume in hand is a storehouse of such essential information as will assist the ambitious reader to take advantage of the manifold opportunities, by acquiring the methods of modern progress which lead to pros perity and success. Here are arrayed those marvelous facts which make modern life and methods supreme in interest and importance. The fairy tales of the past, told to while away an idle hour with mysterious impossibilities, are outdone by the realities of the present. Here the true relations of all phases of human activity are shown, in their bearing upon the affairs of the world of to - day, so that the work becomes, in the highest sense, a book of new, fresh and accurate information. To make more readily available such a wide variety of matter in a work of such extensive scope, it has been subdivided into five comprehensive books, all contained in a single volume.
