Book excerpt: Excerpt from "1915" Boston Exposition: Official Catalogue and the Boston 1915 Year Book Although Boston - 1915 came into being only at the end of last March, there are already two or three things that illustrate the function which this new movement is intended to perform, and the way in which its work will be done. These are the establishment of a series of athletic games for the boys of Boston who could not leave the city during the vacation season'; the introduction of a vocational bureau into the school system, so that the boy or girl who has to go to work shall make a start at bread-and-butter earn ing in the direction that will lead to the greatest success in life; the testing out of a theory that much of the contagious sickness among children can be prevented by careful inspection on the opening day of the schools, and the reservation of benches on the Common for the use of women during the noon-day hours. Boston - 1915 raised the funds and gave the prizes for the athletic games in order that the boys might learn by experience the importance of taking care of their health; that the gang spirit might be diverted from mischief to useful channels; that the value of playgrounds and their true purpose might be better appreciated; that a wholesome district rivalry might be started; and that healthful recreation might take the place of harmful idleness. It secured the co - operation of thirty of the best physicians in the city to make the medical examinations of would-be entries. Then it turned over the entire management of the games to the Playground Association. The size of the undertaking appears in the statistics of the games 1775 entries altogether for the 24 meets; 450 entries in the final meet; spectators at the last contest alone. This illustrates how Boston - 1915 proposes to carry out work which it initiates - by putting it into the hands of whatever organizations already exist and are expert in doing it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from "1915" Boston Exposition Official Catalogue and the Boston 1915 Year Book: Part I Official Catalogue, Part II Year Book, Part III Commercial Exhibits (Advertising) The people of Boston can have as fine a city as they want, provided they want it badly enough to be willing to pay for it. Nothing so good as a fine city is to be had for nothing. It will cost a great deal of time and energy and some money. If the people of Boston decide that they have not time to make their city what they would like to have it be, it will mean that they have other things which they would rather be doing with their time than improving their city. If they decide that they have not energy enough or money enough to make their city what it ought to be, it will mean that there are other things which they prefer and for which they would rather give their energy and their money. The whole question, therefore, is whether the people of Boston would rather have the finest city in the world or whether they would rather use for other purposes the time and energy and money necessary for the accomplishment of that purpose. - Professor Thomas N.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few American cities possess a history as long, rich, and fascinating as Boston’s. A site of momentous national political events from the Revolutionary War through the civil rights movement, Boston has also been an influential literary and cultural capital. From ancient glaciers to landmaking schemes and modern infrastructure projects, the city’s terrain has been transformed almost constantly over the centuries. The Atlas of Boston History traces the city’s history and geography from the last ice age to the present with beautifully rendered maps. Edited by historian Nancy S. Seasholes, this landmark volume captures all aspects of Boston’s past in a series of fifty-seven stunning full-color spreads. Each section features newly created thematic maps that focus on moments and topics in that history. These maps are accompanied by hundreds of historical and contemporary illustrations and explanatory text from historians and other expert contributors. They illuminate a wide range of topics including Boston’s physical and economic development, changing demography, and social and cultural life. In lavishly produced detail, The Atlas of Boston History offers a vivid, refreshing perspective on the development of this iconic American city. Contributors Robert J.

Book excerpt: If you take Boston's Blue Line to its northern end, you'll reach the Wonderland stop. Few realize that a twenty-three-acre amusement park once sat nearby—the largest in New England, and grander than any of the Coney Island parks that inspired it. Opened in Revere on Memorial Day in 1906 to great fanfare, Wonderland offered hundreds of thousands of visitors recreation by the sea, just a short distance from downtown Boston. The story of the park's creation and wild, but brief, success is full of larger-than-life characters who hoped to thrill attendees and rake in profits. Stephen R. Wilk describes the planning and history of the park, which featured early roller coasters, a scenic railway, a central lagoon in which a Shoot-the-Chutes boat plunged, an aerial swing, a funhouse, and more. Performances ran throughout the day, including a daring Fires and Flames show; a Wild West show; a children's theater; and numerous circus acts. While nothing remains of what was once called "Boston's Regal Home of Pleasure" and the park would close in 1910, this book resurrects Wonderland by transporting readers through its magical gates.
