Changes in educational methods around the turn of the century created a demand by schools for reference books like this encyclopedia to supplement the textbooks used by students. The testimonials in this work appear to have been solicited from Michigan educators and then compiled by a resourceful agent prior to canvassing the work to local teachers and school boards. The success of this approach is revealed by the one hundred and sixty-one subscriptions entered in the subscription pages of this outfit.
