The Mooseheart boys are not selected students.

They come from the humblest families, from homes that have been wiped out early.

But the training at Mooseheart is so well adapted to human needs that these orphans soon outstrip the children of the more fortunate classes.
They become quick in initiative, sturdy in character and brilliant in scholarship.

Visitors who come from boys' preparatory schools where the children of the rich are trained for college are amazed to find these sons of the working people so far ahead of the young aristocrats.

The Mooseheart boys as a group have the others beaten in all the qualities that go to make a young man excellent.
