“It is a fascinating romance of real life in our country, and will prove a great pleasure and inspiration to the boys who read it.”—The Continent, Chicago.
THE BOY WITH THE U. S. CENSUS
Through the experiences of a bright American boy, the author shows how the necessary information is gathered. The securing of this often involves hardship and peril, requiring journeys by dog-team in the frozen North and by launch in the alligator-filled Everglades of Florida, while the enumerator whose work lies among the dangerous criminal classes of the greater cities must take his life in his own hands.
“Every young man should read this story from cover to cover, thereby getting a clear conception of conditions as they exist to-day, for such knowledge will have a clean, invigorating and healthy Influence on the young growing and thinking mind.”—Boston Globe.
