CHAPTER II 



THE WONDERFUL HOUSE THAT JACK HAS 



EVERY one has read of the ' l Wonderful House 

 that Jack Built," but very few know what they should 

 about the Wonderful House that Jack Has. What 

 makes it all the more interesting is that James, Howard, 

 Mary, and Estelle, in fact, all of us, are house owners 

 of the same kind. And such a wonderful house it is ! 

 Vastly more interesting than Spain's splendid palace, 

 the Alhambra, and certainly more curious than Italy's 

 far-famed Leaning Tower of Pisa ! In fact, you might 

 carefully study all the architecture of the world with- 

 out finding anything half so wonderful. 



How does it happen that many know so little 

 about their bodies? Largely because the knowledge 

 is so easily obtained and its importance has not been 

 fully realized. It is said that many people living in 

 Philadelphia have not visited Independence Hall, 

 and residents of Buffalo who have not seen Niagara 

 Falls are by no means few. Thousands travel miles 

 to visit those celebrated places ; and yet many living 

 near have not had their interest aroused. We 

 should not show such lack of enterprise in regard to 

 our bodies, but should let the fact that they are not 

 distant make their wonders of even greater interest.
