chia pet - WHY did you remove the post on "MORANG'S MODERN GEOGRAPHY - PART 1 -- OUR HOME AND ITS SURROUNDINGS" -- where this so-called educational book published in 1905 - states This book must not be imported into nor circulated in the United States of America or Great Britain -- Entered, according to Act of Parliament of Canada, in the year Nineteen Hundred and Four, by MORANG & CO., LIMITED, at the Department of Agriculture.
I was trying to show you WHAT they taught in schools in those days -- the PROPAGANDA [not that things have changed since then] -- and I find it suspect that the AUTHOR of this book spelt the world labour as labor -- OMITTED the "u" in that word, among other words like "favour". In the early 1900s, according to a lot of dictionaries of those times -- the US started to drop the "u" in a lot of words. ONLY CANADA kept the English version of keeping the "u". Here on onehand the author states NOT to show this book to the USA and here he writes like a Yankie Doodle Dandy -- omitting the "u" in the word "labour", amongst other words.
