is going. He has an objective. There is an air of controlled energy, directed into definite channels. There is no waste time, no waste effort. Nobody knows how to dawdle at MOOSE-HEART. If he does he soon forgets. It is a breathless town. Going to it from New York, the city where all faces are strained and all feet hurry, I found it hard work to keep up with MOOSEHEART. There everybody is busy and nobody is overworked.
The children arrive and bestow themselves in their accustomed part of the big׳ hall. The littlest children sit in the middle. The elder sit on the iers. On the high, wide plaform a big band waits. The band is composed of students. The band plays something soothing or inspiring. The matrons glance at their ;group of girls, the proctors at their assemblage of boys, to see that all is decorum. Then all eyes turn to the broad-shouldered man with earnest, kindly face, who stands between the children in the amphitheatre and the band on the stage.
He askes for reports. This is the time for confession. Each home has its clerk. That clerk must report misdemeanors. He rises. The culprit arises. The offender squares his shoulders. He lifts his head. A red tide rises in his cheeks. “I left something■ lying on the floor in my room.” The louder, less embarrassed tones of the clerk rise. “Johnny Graham left an article of wearing apparel lying on the floor in his room. Two demerits.” Two young women sitting at either end of a table between the audience and the band make a record of Johnny’s preoccupation. It is written there Johnny must pay a penalty. He must work out his salvation.. Some extra work is alloted to him, some extra study. Or he. may be sent to bed early. Or not permitted to play with the other children that evening. Or he may have to stay at home and study on the Friday evening. The scene of the confession is also the scene of the weekly student dance. It depends upon the matron or the proctor. The kind of punishment is determined by the matron or the proctor. But no heavy hand shall be laid upon the child. MOOSEHEART does not believe in corporal punishment.
Progress Hall has seven reports. The girls who escaped the public confession hang their heads with those who suffered it. All had hoped that Progress would have no report that night. Alas for the fraility of human resolves! Two of the girls had been impertinent. Two had been disobedient. Three had been tardy in their housekeeping assignments. But they determined one and all that Progress should not again backslide.
“East Legion.” No answer. “Any report from East Legion?” The Superintendent waits. In this instance silence is glory. The children beat their palms. East Legion has been without fault since the last meeting.

else where these children can receive the special care and attention which they need. Not to call it Mooseheart *.or any other name. Not to say much about it, nor publish much about it. riot necessarily have it known as a part of the Moose; but a place where these children could be cared for, and he said there would at no time be more than a hundred or a hundred and fifty of them. A place where these children could be trained for the service which they are mentallv qualified to perform. This place should be near enough to some city where medical and other necessary attention could be secured.
When children enter MOOSE-TTEÀRT they are separated from the others until it has been accurately ascertained that they are free from contagious or infectious diseases.
During the recent World War the Government selected MOOSEHEART as a vocational school in which to train soldiers. Two groups of one hundred soldiers were sent there to be trained in concrete construction work. Thus was another object lesson in patriotism furnished to the children in their age of pliancy and receptivity. The children who watched these men of war in preparation for their duties at the front will never forget 1 he khaki clad figures nor for what they stood.
There is building an edifice of worship which will be called the House of God. In this House of God Protestant, Catholic, Jew or those of other sects will worship according to their understanding of The Truth.
MOOSEHEART sends forth a boy or girl doubly equipped for life. The bov or girl who is graduated from ]MOOSEHEART is equipped to earn a living by hands or head.
The Loyal Order of Moose takes care of its own. If gathers within its defending circle the children of its deceased brothers. For instance, two girls will be graduated from MOOSEHEART this year who want to go to college. They will not go without funds for they will have been employed all summer in an office in the Administration Building. They will have to work their way through college, but the Moose and their-wives in that college town will aid them in finding work and will have an eye single to their health and welfare. MOOSEHEART is the antithesis of the average orphanage. The school of which the late Jean Webster wrote, and which Ruth Chatterton depicted on the stage, in Daddy Long Legs, is an unlike MOOSEHEART as night is unlike day.
No uniforms. No fear. No suppression of the normal ego, the little soark of self which will blaze into a bénéficient individual flame.
MOOSEHEART is a spot whence love an dlight 'radiate in hundred power intensity.
The Children’s Republic
It is five o’clock at MOOSEHEART. Children pour out of the halls and cottages. From Garden Cottage at one end of the town, the cottage which faithful Matron Phillips has not left for three years lest something inadvertent happen while she is gone to East Legion at the other, and from all intermediate homes come boys and girls. Their steps are turned toward a common center, the huge xlssembly Building.
They hasten but thy do not run. Thar is characteristic cf MOOSE-HEART. Everyone you meet, is going somewhere and knows where he
older and the other children got to notice the difference between them they would soon call these defective ones such names as “boob.” “simp,” etc. They would be the butt of jokes, etc., and would make the work of training the normal ones harder.
The next one would be to segregate these mentally defective children in a row of houses built at Mooseheart but he pointed how this segregation would bring humiliation on these children through no fault of their own.
Neither of these plans he favored.
The one he favors is to build another small institution somewhere
