Re th Horace Mann, an educator of a few 4
years ago of national reputation, built,
Or caused to be built, school for in
corriQible boys over in Massachusetts,, t
costing 100000. In the dedication of +
tha school, he remarked that eff that O
school should be the means of reform l
<ing just one boy and thus giving to $
\his country life of service, the school G
kwou1d have paid for ITSELF" An audi
tor took Mr. Mann to task and asked h
If he was not little too high in his '
estimate Of reformed boys life. In s
stantly the reply was hurled back, c
No, d that boy was yours OF mine. =
n health nurse should be the s
means " causing just one defective Y
boy or girl to be restored to perfect a
health, thus saving to the country /
life Of service, her salary will be paid Il
for many year. Douglas " Dowd.
