Excerpt from Seeing the Far West The five-year-old found her way to her father's desk, pushed aside the maps and manuscripts over which he had been poring, climbed to his knee, and said, "Now tell me a story about Colorado." The story was told, and the request that Colorado be pointed out on the map was complied with. Then she said, "Take me to Colorado some day!" Another day the request was for a story about California. As before, the map was brought into play to satisfy childish curiosity, and the plea followed, "Take me to California some day. I want to see El Cap-i-tan." Day after day father and daughter went through with the program, and the ceremony was always completed by the confident assurance that some day they would see together the beauty spots of which they had been talking. Finally, when Colorado, California, Arizona, Washington, Montana, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and New' Mexico had been represented in stories, there was the final assertion, "Some day w'e'll see them all, won't we?" Every American should have that child's impartial interest in the natural wonders of the Far West and her determination to see not merely one or two of the states that present to the sightseer programs so varied and alluring. There will be time to have favorite spots for wandering when a general view has been taken of all the regions a bountiful Providence has so wonderfully endowed.
