Thursday, June 12, 2014. Manual of Wireless Telegraphy 1915. Steve Davis sent me some scans, and I cleaned them up in my usual obsessive fashion.

However, here are the four test pages we did, so enjoy! As always, you can click on the object to produce the largest version. Wednesday, June 4, 2014.

Rhymes and songs for early childhood. We love this song as it is so simple and short but with lots of actions to do. Here is the sea, the wavy sea, here is a boat and here is me.
