VII THE LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE The Loyaj Order of Moose is an international fraternal society consisting of more than sixteen hundred lodges in the .States׳ Canada and throughout the English-speaking worid, navmg an aggregate membership in all these lodges of more than five hundred thousand men. Most of the lodges provide for sick benefits and funeral expense funds for their members. Each lodge is a complete unit in itself, with full local autonomy. ״ .A•; a means for the better accomplishing their purposes the lodges have organized a central agency called the “Supreme Lodge of the World, Loyal Order of Moose,” with headquarters at Mooseheart, Illinois. All the general activities of the Order center there and the Supreme officers in active charge have their offices there. MOOSEHEART THE SCHOOL THAT TRAINS FOR LIFE Mooseheart is an estate of one thousand twenty-three acres of land, thirty-five miles west from Chicago on the Fox River, between the cities of Aurora and Batavia, Illinois.

You describe how this is a result of co-operative effort, “one for all; and all for one”—“Light is the task when many share the burden.” You describe how this is a result of co-operative task when many share the burden. You outline the state building program started by Philadelphia’s generous and unprecendented gift, a Memorial Hospital at MOOSEHEART, built and equipped at a cost approximating a quarter of a million dollars. You suggest that what the Philadelphia Lodge has done, under the leadership of J. W. Ford, P. S. D., that any Lodge can do if they develop a leader, with the combination of “fraternal vision” and “executive capacity,” who will be everlastingly backed by a loyal, working membership, which spends their time planning for new achievements, instead of bragging about old endeavors.

BLOCH Albany, N. Y. SAMUEL G. HART New Orleans La. Supreme Secretary RODNEY H. BRANDON Mooseheart, Illinois What One Does Others Can Why? Because there is something in this׳ “SCHOOL-HOME-CITY” more important than THREE MILLION DOLLARS; bigger than a THOUSAND ACRES; more significant than POWER HOUSES INDUSTRIAL SHOPS, DAIRY BARNS, PUREBRED HOLSTEINS; and spacious, beautiful, permanent CONCRETE BUILDINS with red tile roofs. More Than a Thousand THERE ARE TO-DAY AS THIS MARCH ISSUE OF THE MAGAZINE GOES TO PRESS 1010 CHILDREN AT MOOSEHEART. BOYS AND GIRLS From every state in the United States, some provinces of Canada and the islands of the sea they come. Alaska, too, is represented. There is a “SPIRIT” at MOOSEHEART that CANNOT be described. It is elusive! It cannot be caught and put into words. There is no way to put it down in cold type, and put it before you on the printed page. The spirit of brotherhood, of unselfishness, of mutual helpfulness, each child having enough, and none too much—the ONLY city in the wide world, where on Christmas morning there was not a SINGLE stocking EMPTY, and not a SINGLE heart BROKEN. Do you realize what it means ? Do you know that it is a symbol of a better day ? Does your mind grasp, and has your heart caught the import of this mighty movement for the conservation of childhood and the salvation of the world ? Start With the Child 64TF WE ever permanently change the world for J|_ the better—we must start with the child,” says James J. Davis. “I appreciate the great work MOOSEHEART is doing for children,” stated President-elect Harding. We Want to Bring the World to Mooseheart Senator Arthur Capper wrote the following:— “ALL GREAT MOVEMENTS SPRING FROM THE PEOPLE, AND SO MOOSEHEART COMES FROM THE BRAIN AND HEART OF THE MASSES, AND IS DESTINED TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF AMERICA.” What the World Needs YOUR LODGE must know MOOSEHEART! YOU drop a hint concerning the various state buildings now going up at MOOSEHEART, and that what one can do, every state can accomplish. You mention Rochester, New York, Lodge in the Philadelphia class, as far as spirit is concerned. Rochester is giving a building without aid from any other Lodge. You write down Rodney H. Brandon’s classic for your friend: “Better bodies by play; better hands by work; better minds by study; better souls by prayer—this is the Heart of Mooseheart.” Your friend on the train puts this brief but complete philosophy of our “City of Childhood” in his pocket. He says: “Brother, I am interested in your story, but it doesn’t seem possible that there can be a place like that.” And we must agree that it doesn’t sound true. It’s too good to be true. Because— MOOSEHEART is an oasis in a desert of selfishness; a guiding star pointing the way to a higher road; a paradise-city of childhood, happiness and peace in a world of bickerings, and srtife. You Have To See It ND to understand—you must see! You can’t describe color to a blind man! You can’t get MOOSEHEART into the heart of a man whose eyes have never seen it. A׳ St. Address City ------ Lodge No... JAMES J. DAVIS, Director General, Mooseheart, Illinois. I want to help you In this great work for children and am sending $-------------------------------- for "Mooseheart Endowment Fund.” Count me in the first hundred thousand as a “Foundation Builder.” ------- State. Legion No.-_. COLOR TO A BLIND MAN H‘ fOW would you describe color to a blind man? To a man born blind ? Of course if you have seen at all, you would have a memory of the color and the word we use to label it. But to a man blind from birth, how would you do it? There is no way! There are no words, no line of description, no method yet known to give such an unfortunate an idea—any idea—of the various colors that we have to please and fascinate and thrill us. Difficult to Describe SOMETIMES the Editor of the “Mooseheart Magazine” feels, that it is just as difficult, to describe the “City of Childhood” to those, who have never seen it with their own eyes. The world is filled with schools, institutions, orphanages, hospitals, sanitariums, homes of one kind or another. Various fraternal societies and churches have attempted, and often, with a measure of success, to found and maintain “homes” for the young or old, or both. The Man On the Train YOU say to a man on the train: “Have you ever heard about MOOSEHEART?” And he replies, unless he has actually seen the Miracle City: “Oh, yes, I’ve heard about it. There is where the Moose have their orphan’s home.” Then you try to tell this man, whose own eyes have never beheld the “Shrine of Moosedom”, about this “SCHOOL-HOME-CITY,” as Percy MacFaye, the great dramatist, calls it in a letter to Dictator General Davis. A Thousand Acre School A THOUSAND acre farm; over four million dollars expended; twenty-two trades and agriculture taught; one thousand children there today; each receives a high school education and a trade; the high! school accredited at the University of Illinois; only seven years old, and Mooseheart graduates already enrolled as students in ten of America’s leading universities. You tell him about the beauty, utility and safety of the place—buildings, schools, dormitories and cottages of concrete with Spanish red tile roofs. Ten Million Dollars YOU speak of the Ten-Million-Dollar Endowment Fund to safeguard MOOSEHEART against any possible or probable misfortune, catastrophe, Industrial depression or financial panic.
