Magnetism is a fascinating subject--it affects everyday life so greatly that I thought those boys who are interested in Gilbert Toys would like to know more about it. So I have endeavored to compile information on magnetism in many of its forms that will be interesting for you to know. A thorough study of this book will, I am sure, give you a much better understanding of what magnetism means to all of us. The boy who knows about different kinds of engineering--electrical, chemical, structural, etc.--the kinds that are covered by Gilbert Toys, is the type of a boy who will be a leader among his fellows. He is the one to whom the rest of the boys look up, and they do it because they appreciate his knowledge of different things which they don't understand. You can be a leader among your friends, and you won't have to study and work hard to become one, either. You don't have to do that at all. You can get all kinds of interesting information about sciences and other things right while you are playing. This book is only one of many of its kind that I have had compiled. Used in conjunction with the Gilbert Toys they describe, they offer you the best kind of an opportunity to have all kinds of fun and at the same time put you up among the leaders.
