| Summary |
"Harper's Young People, July 27, 1880" by Various is a periodical publication targeted at children, produced in the late 19th century. This collection features a variety of stories, poems, and educational pieces designed to engage young readers with entertaining narratives and informative articles. The content reflects the societal values and interests of the time, focusing on themes of adventure, moral lessons, and various aspects of daily life. At the start of this issue, readers are introduced to a story titled "Poddie and Dick at the Free Bath," where two boys are excitedly waiting for their Uncle Fritz to arrive and take them to one of New York's free swimming baths. The narrative highlights the boys’ impatience, their curiosity about the amenities of the baths, and a discussion on the significance of these facilities for less fortunate children who find joy and relief from the summer heat. This opening sets a playful yet reflective tone, inviting readers to consider the varying circumstances of childhood experiences in urban settings. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
