Start the new-born mind on any highway and see how it hurries along.

You can do more, working a little while over the cradle, than all the preachers under heaven, after its occupant has grown beyond your ministry.

I tell you, sir, the world is indifferent to its children.

Neglected by their parents, subject to hired tenderness or none at all; left to the care of ignorant or depraved nurses, and often taught little but selfishness and greed of gain, the children of men are surrounded by destructive agencies.

Can we wonder that the human mind loses in infancy so much of its native power?
But so the generations of earth are growing up, bearing embittered fruit and sowing its seed to the four winds.
Who cares for the mind and body of a child has the highest possible mission--the most sacred of all trusts.
