We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Education Up to Date
By E. T. SMITH
I didn't use to like my school
A teeny, weeny bit, And history and g'ography
Gave me an awful fit.
But there has been a mighty change —
I go to school all day — 'Cause all those things are taught us now
Just like a Picture Play.
It's funny what an interest
A fellow seems to feel In seeing ancient Kings and Queens
A walking 'round like real.
And g'ography is lots of fun When you can see the scenes
From Africa and India Upon the picture screens.
So that's why I don't play hookey
To go skating on the ice, For since there's pictures in our school
There's nothing half so nice. 104
