Hardcover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. How Do We Know?, a science reader for young children published by Scott, Foresman and Company in 1945 as part of its Basic Studies in Science, a title in the publisher's Curriculum Foundation Series. Bound in rust red cloth with a colour pictorial label of two children feeding a squirrel in the snow, it is a handsome example of the illustrated American schoolbook of the war years. | BIBLIOGRAPHIC DETAILS | Title: How Do We Know? | Publisher and place: Scott, Foresman and Company, Chicago | Year: 1945 (copyright page) | Edition: 1945 edition, Basic Studies in Science, Curriculum Foundation Series | Illustrator: Several artists credited on the acknowledgments page, among them Walter A. Weber, E. B. Comstock, Leon L. Pray, Else Bostleman, Gregory Orloff, Christine Chisholm, John Merryweather, Raymond E. Craig and Helen Noel | Binding: Hardcover, rust red cloth with a pasted colour pictorial label on the front board | Dust jacket: Not present | Language: English | CONDITION | Good. The rust red cloth boards are sound, with rubbing, a few small dark spots and soiling to the rear board, and light wear to the edges and corners. The pictorial label on the front board is bright, with rubbing and scuffing across the brown title band and a small surface mark near the upper left of the picture. The spine is straight. The pages are evenly age toned, and the acknowledgments page and the facing colour plate are clean and free of markings. No dust jacket. | ABOUT THE BOOK | How Do We Know? belongs to Basic Studies in Science, the science readers Scott, Foresman produced for the early grades of elementary school within its Curriculum Foundation Series, the same family of schoolbooks as the publisher's well known basic readers. Library records list it as Book C of the science series, following All Around Us. Books of this kind introduced young readers to the natural world through short, simply worded passages set beside full colour pictures, encouraging them to look closely and to ask how a thing can be known. | The book took care over its facts. Its acknowledgments thank O. D. Frank, instructor in science at the University of Chicago High School, together with Karl P. Schmidt and other curators of the Chicago Natural History Museum, for checking its science, along with the classroom teachers who commented on the manuscript. The illustrations were drawn from a strong company of nature artists, including the wildlife painter Walter A. Weber and Else Bostleman, and the colour plates are a pleasure in themselves: the front label shows two children in winter coats coaxing a red squirrel with nuts, and inside a small owl peers out from the hollow of a tree. For a reader today the book is both a charming period picture book and a record of how American children were taught to observe nature at the end of the Second World War. | COLLECTOR AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE | The copyright page reads Copyright, 1945, by Scott, Foresman and Company, with a separate Philippine Islands copyright of the same year, a reminder of the publisher's reach in the period. Illustrated mid-century schoolbooks from Scott, Foresman are collected for their colour plates and their place in the history of American primary education, and this copy keeps its pictorial label bright. It is offered unsigned, without a recorded printing or provenance. | HOUSE OF GENEVIEVE CATALOG STATEMENT | From a carefully curated catalog emphasizing collectible, decorative, and historically significant editions selected for condition and presentation.
