Sinopsis
Excerpt from The World and Its People, Vol. 12: Porto Rico: The Land of the Rich Port
During a brief period of time, now regarded as forming an epoch in American history, Porto Rico came into prominence as an important. Section of the island-world. Although it lies nearer to the United States than to any other of the great republics or empires of the globe, it was comparatively unknown to the American people. We knew its location, but not its physical features; its people, but not their domestic life, their daily tasks and pursuits. We regarded this fertile island as permanently allied with a European power, with no thought of possessing it ourselves. We had come to think of this Republic of ours as always to be confined Within continental boun darics, and not at all likely to embrace in her territory insular lands.
Five years ago our acquaintance with Porto Rico was of that general character as now marks our knowl edge oi Madagascar, Sumatra, or Borneo; it lacked definite detail.

Excerpt from The World and Its People, Vol. 12: Porto Rico: The Land of the Rich Port
Supplementary readers in all the varied lines of instruction are acknowledged to be an important part of the school equipment. Through them the pupil's reading is made to prepare him for his studies and to contribut directly to their enhanced value and interest. The text-book in geography can give little more than the essential outline; it cannot go into the details of the everyday life of the inhabitants of Cuba or of New Zealand - such details as make people and places real. The school history can give scant space to the physical aspect of a country, to the surroundings that influence a nation's development, yet without such knowledge the study lacks its true basis. In one way or another one constantly finds need of knowing the world and its people.
Under this title of "The World and its People" the publishers are offering a series of readers intended particularly to supplement the geography, and, in general, to contribute to the broadest education of young people. Our near neighbors, our antipodes, and the peoples that live between these extremes are studied in turn, so that the series as a whole gives a comprehensive view of the world in its geographical aspect.
