I grew up with a few decades of this magazine, bound, on the bookshelf. I would look at them as a child, almost fifty years ago, in wonderment at what life was like fifty years before. posted by kozad at 4:05 PM on June 11, 2007
OH YEAH!
I have been bored by the filter in the past few weeks, but you have found something wonderful, something that I would not have found on my own. Great post. posted by caddis at 4:52 PM on June 11, 2007
Reminiscent of Arthur Mee's Children's Encyclopedia and Children's Newspaper in the U.K.
I grew up with the 1930's version of the Encyclopedia (by then a fund of obsolete information on a wide range of topics) and enjoyed it enormously. posted by speug at 6:14 PM on June 11, 2007
It would be cool if it was still published today, but what would it look like? posted by parallax7d at 6:17 PM on June 11, 2007
Very cool - thanks. posted by Rumple at 7:43 PM on June 11, 2007

One thing that puzzles me: the second link has a list of "other frequent contributors" that includes Emily Dickinson, but when I searched for her using the search box in the third link there were no results. She couldn't possibly have been a "frequent contributor," but I'm curious about whether she even had one poem in the magazine. posted by languagehat at 6:07 AM on June 12, 2007
