An encyclopedia designed especially to meet the needs of elementary, junior high, and senior high school students.

Learning is an education of itself. It wends itself through everything we see and do. Many have tried to find the best way to teach everyone. Aesop was good. Socrates tried. Plato, with all his faults, also tried. Shakespeare masked education in his writings. McGuffey tried with his little books. Arthur Miller showed us things. Parents, even with a very good education try to teach the children, and often times in vain. Because everyone is different.
