world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person in a year. Now some countries use as much
as 100 kilograms of paper for each person in a year. The amount of paper a country uses shows how far
advanced the country is, some people say. It is difficult to say whether this is true: different people mean
different things by the word "advanced". But countries like the United States, England and Sweden certainly
use more paper than other countries.
Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper
was not very commonly used before the year 1400.
The Chinese first made paper about 2,000 years ago. China still has pieces of paper which were made
as long ago as that. But Chinese paper was not made from the wood of trees. It was made from the hair
like parts of certain plants.
Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia-which now makes a
great deal of the world's paper-did not begin to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who
found out that trees could be made into the best paper. After that, the forest countries of Canada, Sweden,
Norway, Finland, and the United States became the most important in paper making. Today in Finland,
which makes the best paper in the world, the paper industry is the biggest in the land.
