Présentation de l'éditeur
We have a great deal of interest in tlie personality behind each one of the Children of Other Lands Books but never more than in that of the stalwart young man who has placed in our hands this straightforward account of his boyhood in the Holy Land. Mousa J. Kaleel was born at Ram A llah, ten miles from Jerusalem, a little more than twenty years ago. An older brother, Jacob, had received and much appreciated some instruction in an English school, and when Professor Elihu Grrant, now of Smith College, opened an American training school in his native village, Jacob interceded for his younger brothers until he secured admission for Mousa. Professor Grant sexperiences were extremely interesting.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
