four lives.
A Wisconsin boy makes candid confession:
“When I came here I hadn’t the slightest idea what trade I was going to take up. So I tried several different classes and then went into the printing class. I like this work and think I will stick to it.
“MOOSEHEART has gotten me very much interested in athletics and I ■can hardly wait for ball practice. When I came to MOOSEHEART a year ago I could not swim five feet. Now I can swim with ease fifty yards or more.
“MOOSEHEART has awakened my patriotism. I often wished during the war that I were eighteen so that I could have enlisted and helped Uncle Sam win the war.
“Another thing which is very important that MOOSEHEART has taught me, is to look after my own things. When I was at home I would go into the house and throw my coat or hat down wherever I happened to take them off. My mother tried to break me of this habit but she couldn’t. I soon learned that a person must not do those things here.
“I have broken myself of many habits which I couldn’t break at home.”
A youth from Pennsylvania acknowledged his debt before he enlisted as a Red Cross ambulance driver.
“MOOSEHEART, with its vocation-, al, moral, physical and mental training, can within a short time make a change for good in the life of anyone that comes within its fold. Its whole environment and the good care of its students bring about a change almost unbelievable.
“When my father died I lost most of the moral suasion that had kept me leading a clean, wholesome life. My mother seemed to have no control of me and I fell in with a lot of rough necks who taught me to smoke and swear.
“My mother, hoping to make a man of me, sent me to MOOSEHEART. The change is hardly conceivable. I am receiving a High School education, learning a good trade (garage work), and feel that I may make a mark in the world yet.
“The Sunday School has undeniably uplifted and strengthened my morals; ׳school has trained my mental capacity; work and exercise have built me up physically.
“Athletics have worked a great change in me. I am no longer the undersized and pasty-faced boy I used to be. Three years of football, baseball, and athletic meets, skating, swimming have built me up.
“MOOSEHEART has given me a splendid education, a good trade, and has made me a God-fearing citizen of the United States.”
A boy from Leadville rises to remark :
“When I came to MOOSEHEART in July, 1914, I was about four feet nine inches tall and weighed about eighty-four pounds. The first years of life at MOOSEHEART I grew gradually until Mr. Adams got Mrs. Clark from Aurora to cook for us boys at Lake Shore cottage. It was then you could almost see us grow. We grew so fast we were all sick from ‘growing pains.’ During this time I have gained almost sixty pounds and a foot in heighth.
“I have had instruction in all kinds of scientific farming, wood mill, floral and nursery work, of which I knew nothing when I came to MOOSEHEART.”
A gentle maiden from a Pennsylvania town places laurel on the brow of theMOOSEHEART-idea-come-true:
“When I came to MOOSEHEART I knew very little about sewing, but now I can make all of my own clothes. I surely do appreciate what MOOSEHEART has done for me in the sewing line.
“I had wished so long that I could, take violin lessons and MOOSEHEART has granted that wish.
the students work when they are not running machines.”
“We have the Honor Roll system at MOOSEHEART,” he continues. “When boys or girls do something to deserve punishment they are kept off the Honor Roll. In the summer the boys that get on the Honor Roll have the privilege of sleeping out at the camp by the lake. We have a swimming instructor and a life guard corps.”
A square-shouldered, square-jawed, merry-eyed boy of eighteen was presented to me. He was a student of the life saving corps. He had saved

eooking and could take the cook’s place when her day off came round.
“In doing this cooking I learned something that I hadn’t learned at home. If I should need a job any time I won’t have to worry about not being able to get it. Cooks are always needed.
“The trade that I am taking up is that of machinist. I have been in the machine shop for nine months, during which time we put up all the shaftings, belts and pulleys. We also placed all the machines and we are now putting up the benches at which
