Description

Do you know what people mean when they speak of "Our New Possessions"? What are they? Where are they? Why are men, in the streets, in the shops, everywhere, talking about them? Why are the newspapers full of articles in regard to them? Why are our lawmakers at the capital devoting so much time and attention to them? Can you tell?


Some of these things you can easily ascertain for yourselves. Others we will speak of here.


The new territory which has lately come into the possession of the United States, consists of the islands of Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines. Cuba is not included in this list; it is soon to be an independent country.


Since Puerto Rico and these other islands have come to be parts of the United States, everyone is anxious to learn something more of them.


The best way to learn the geography of a country and the customs of the people is to visit the country and see with your own eyes.


That would be a difficult thing for most of us. The next best way is to make the journey in imagination, and that all of us can do.


The island nearest us is Puerto Rico, the most eastern island of the Greater Antilles. Let us visit that first and the other islands later on.


We must find out something of the climate, however, before we start on this journey. This may not be the right season of the year to go. We must know, too, what kind of clothing to take with us.


In order to plan our route wisely, we must know something of the geography of the island. We should also know the past history of Puerto Rico, in order to understand the customs of the people and the conditions that exist there.
