Présentation de l'éditeur
How THEW orld is Clothed is the second volume of a series of school readers intended to give a personal and living knowledge of the great world of commerce and industry. In How the World is Fed the children, accompanied by the author, visited the great food centers and saw for themselves how the chief food staples are produced and prepared for use. In How the World is Clothed they travel in the same way over the globe investigating the sources of their clothing. The journeys are along geographical lines, and while studying the industries the children are learning about localities, trade routes, and the other features of transportation and commerce. In these travels the personal element is never absent. The children themselves make the imaginary journeys, and that to learn about the clothing they themselves are wearing, and about articles which are necessary to their own comfort and pleasure. The author advises that this personal feature be stimu lated, as far as possible, by having the pupils bring into the class room specimens of the various clothing materials, as the chapters relating to them are read. For instance, in the study of cotton, a cotton boll with the seeds in it or even a bit of cotton wool and some cotton cloth will make the subject a live one. The plan of the book is a simple one. The children start out first to those parts of the world which produce the vegetable fibers of commerce. In our Southern States they learn how cotton is raised; and, traveling with the white lint to the great factories, watch it made into the cloth which they wear and use every day.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a fascinating journey through the global cotton industry, tracing the transformation of raw cotton into the garments we wear. The author provides a comprehensive overview of cotton cultivation, from the planting of seeds to the harvesting of fluffy white bolls. We learn about the history of cotton, its origins in Asia, and its spread to other parts of the world. The book explores the intricate processes involved in ginning, where the fibers are separated from the seeds, and bale pressing, preparing the cotton for transport. The author delves into the technological advancements that have revolutionized cotton manufacturing, from the invention of the spinning jenny to the power loom. We witness the establishment of cotton mills in the American South and the rise of Lancashire, England, as a global center for cotton production. The book also examines the labor challenges faced by the industry, including the use of slave labor in the early days of cotton cultivation. By presenting a global perspective on cotton, this book offers valuable insights into the interconnectedness of world economies and the impact of this versatile fiber on human history.
