Стр. 60 - Heaven is not reached at a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, 20 And we mount to its summit, round by round.
Стр. 5 - Education is a broad and comprehensive term. It has been defined as " the process of developing and training the powers and capabilities of human beings." To educate, according to one of Webster's definitions, is " to prepare and fit for any calling or business, or for activity and usefulness in life.

As to the economic gain to the property interests of society in being freed from the depredations of so large a fraction of jail convicts, I shall make a statement which will appear startling and extravagant, but it can be fully vindicated by positive figures at my command — the saving to the community, computed in actual money, resulting from the reclamation of eighty per cent...
Стр. 55 - Preach to them." " Love them," says a third. "Show them they are on the broad road to ruin. Call to them : * Turn ye ! turn ye ! why will ye die ?' Christ will wash away all your sins, and make you whiter than snow." No person knows better what to do with bad boys than those who never had any experience with such. What wild and mistaken notions some good people have of what they could do with this class of boys! Dr. K. was visiting our school on a mission to try to do the boys some good. He had...
