This is a rare school book for North American children, explaining aspects of Africa to them. Please note the content of the teacher's page:

This Page Is for Your Teacher: The vocabulary used in this book has been carefully selected, using as far as possible only words appearing in Dolch's list of the 2,000 commonest words for spelling. The authors have tried to develop certain important concepts as simply as possible. It is difficult, for instance, to make understandable the meaning of colonies and colonialism. As we have learned from happenings in the Congo, the effort of Africans to become free and independent can affect the United States.
