FILM Of MOOSEHEART

Guest speaker at the Wednesday
meeting of the Laurel Kiwanis club
was c. l.. Swan of Helena, state
director of the Loyal Order of
Moose, who spoke of the Moose pro-
gram for the care of dependent chill
dren of its deceased members in its
center, Mooseheart. Also, he showed
a motion picture designed to ex-
plain the operation of the center
and care given to the children who
live there.
Mooseheart is a city within it.
self, producing its own power, main
tanning its own utilities services, and
producing 60 percent of the food it
consumes. On the 1900 acres
within Mooseheart, there are many
acres of fine farm land, large dairy
and beef herds, more than 100 build
ings, and all the other things neces-
sary to make it largely self suf-
ficient and self contained.
The dwellings for the children are
of family unit size, each with a
house mother and the equipment
needed to produce the environment
of normal home life. R%ecreational
facilities are located convenient to
the homes and are quite adequate to
provide for the needs of the children.
The dwelling units and Fairgrounds
are so designed as to teach team
work and sportsmanship.
The schools at Mooseheart are CO.
educational and provide not only
the usual training received in good
schools, but because they are in
session almost all year, provide
much not found in ordinary schools.
High school students are given
training to meet all ordinary col
.ege entrance requirements and also
receive training and experience in
trade for which they have an
interest and are qualified. All the
children are guaranteed at least a
nigh school education, and those who
~iesire, and are qualified, are able
attend institutions of higher
earning.
Religious training is provided by
/ Roman Catholic priest and a
Protestant minister who are in
'esidence; the children being placed
Il the faith prevailing in their fam
ly. Aside from regular church SER
-ice, each child receives one hour
,er week in religious study and
anticipates in a weekly religious
period in the dwelling unit.
AS a part of their training for t
ife, the older children work at the !
maintenance of themselves and the !
enter. All are encouraged to earn J
money with after-school jobs, and ]
ach child has an account in the |
student bank. When a child grad G
ates from Mooseheart he or she
as been taught the requirements
f good living. The records of
raduates indicate that the system d
f training is thorough and that the a
hildren are truly taught how to get n
long in life. D
