MARGARET BANCROFT.
take their place among normal brains.
She has one little boy for whom she
hopes all normal possibilities in about
three years. She might have hoped the
same thing with reason of girl Of II
but that she came under her tuition
when her mind was set in its infirmity.
Every child that opens its eyes to the
world is put among us for purpose,
and simple minded children have grown
with assistance and good care to be
world geniuses. There are famous ex-
amples adjoining our present day.
Besides very excellent business wo-
man, whose brains, hard worked, have
brought her to her present position,
regard Margaret Bancroft as philan-
thropist and public benefactor. The
proper education of children, be they
what they may. is the one way to save
future generations the mistakes and ills
Of the present. In addition to the curse
of i'll assorted marriages and bad habits
Miss Bancroft attributes idiocy to the
fact that not enough care is taken with
the diet of growing girls-they are not
given food containing sufficient brain
nutriment.
My subject is member of the Amer
lean Society For Backward and Feeble
Minded Children and strong supporter
OF the movement for smaller state
schools. She believes that schools of
1000 could be practically supported if
divided into five smaller ones. In large
schools the good accomplished is little
and the harm and failure a defeat of
their very purpose. my school, said
my hostess, "is large enough, but I
have started fund to cover the ex.
penses of a few poor children whom I
wish to have under my care. As it is. I
care for and have been caring for at
least one child whose parents cannot
afford to meet the expenses of my train.
ing. l want to care for more"
Margaret Bancroft is a Daughter Of
the Revolution and can also lay claim to
being Colonial Dame. Her father was
cousin to John Bright. So the reform,
blood is in her. Her school has not oplv
become an object of admiration, but lust
what she has intended--a public inceu
tive to work in smaller channels.
