...industrial revolution which took place about 100 years ago when the steam engine was a new invention is compared with the achievements of modern industry by the general use of electricity. Comparison is made between our water power resources and our coal deposits, and it shows that there is enough coal used yearly to build a Chinese Wall entirely around the United States. Animated drawings demonstrate the operation of a steam turbine and the generation of alternating current. The story ends with the construction of a modern electric power plant and a glance into the future of the electric power...

Gradually, however, all socially minded people have come to see the social side of the question, and they have responded to appeals for voluntary contributions more and more generously. Millions of small contributions have come in. But the dry forces have never had funds enough to carry on as vigorous a campaign as the wets. At the present moment they are under the same old handicap. They must rely, as in the past, on the merits of their cause...
