of nature and producing a normal
growth and physical fitness. From
all efforts to put the children into a
natural and healthful state, combined
with the excellent and instant medi-
cal care and nursing provided for all
tn echildren, MOoseheart has health
record which cannot be excellent even
among families having the ebst medi-
cal and hospital opportunities.
Il think the chief glory of the work
is that no pay students enters Moose
heart, that only those are admitted
who, by reason of death of father or
financial adversities are deprived of
the advantages of environment, edu-
cation and training.
1.-THE children have very comfort
able conditions, housing, food, cloth
ing, school and amusements. They
are free from any fear of poverty and
suffering.
"One of the main objects of the
Mooseheart plan is vocational train
ing, that is making the boy or girl
proficient in some useful vocation,
trade or calling. Mooseheart has
from the beginning made vocational
training its aim There are now in
the school 30 useful vocations, trades
and crafts, including agricultural
pursuits. The children select the vo-
cation they are interested in.
Another important element at
Mooseheart is the moral training. If
nothing else has been accomplished,
this alone would be worth all the
effort. AT Mooseheart every boy and
mir hot aal
period, are given individually and
collectively the most careful instruc-
ton in sex hygiene and knowledge of
themselves.
Every boy and girl at Mooseheart
has an opportunity for religious train
ing in the faith of his or her parents.
One thing can be said of the city of
Mooseheart that perhaps cannot be
truthfully said of any other city in the
United States or in the world, that
on each Sunday every child who is
physically able attends Sunday school
or divine worship. On Sunday, June
20, 1920, there happened an event
which was unique In the history of
the wide world. There was dedi-
Gated site upon which will be erected
great building to be known as the
House of God, under whose roof will
gather in peace and harmony the adj
herents of every religious faith rep
resented by the children to worship
God according to thir understanding
of His divine will.
There has never been corporal
punishment at Mooseheart. The STU
dents govern themselves through as
semblies. Pupils are punished by be-
ing given work and are also deprived
of amusements.
Every boy and girl in Mooseheart
is given an opportunity for training
in music, both vocal and instrumental,
not that they become professional mu-
sicians but as a part of their train
ing and development.
"This, my friends, is only small
part of the story of the work of the
l.. o. o. nj. for the salvation of help
less children. How sordid, narrow
and weakened must be the soul of
the man who sees nothing but his own
selfish, individual benefit and adven-
ture and has no interest in the well
fare and happiness of those about
him. | am satisfied that the most
perfect way to be happy and to keep
happy is to do and keep doing some
thing for others, or to express in diff
ferent language-the place to be hap
ply is here, the time to be happy is
now, and the way to be happy is to
make others happy. Make the chill
dren at Mooseheart happy by joining
the Moose if you are not a member.
1t will cost you four cents week to-
help care for and educate child at
Mooseheart."
