Four American Inventors: Robert Fulton, Eli Whitney, Samuel F. B. Morse, Thomas A. Edison; A Book for Young Americans

Excerpt from Four American Inventors: Robert Fulton, Eli Whitney, Samuel F. B. Morse, Thomas A. Edison; A Book for Young Americans

The schoolmaster had left the high stool at his high desk and was walking down among the benches where the boys sat. Most of the pupils looked up to see what he would do.

There was one who did not look up. That boy's curly head was bent over an old book in which he was drawing something. He was so busy that he seemed to have forgotten where he was.
