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 world, having 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.
.. Aa 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.

SUPREME SECRETARY, MOOSEHEART, ILLINOIS
MOOSEHEART boys and girls have received an education; have been given opportunities; have the backing when they go forth into life that most men and Women never have.
We pray that our ambassadors from the “City of Childhood” will make all cities of Men in the great world lovelier, cleaner, better and happier places to live.
"If you want to reform the world you must start with the child.”—James J. Davis.
FIRM FOUNDATIONS
We have at MOOSEHEART, as this Magazine is printed, one thousand and thirty four children.
We have a gigantic work to do.
And our foundations must be firm and lasting.
Every great university has an Endowment Fund.
Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas says that all great movements spring from the brains and hearts of the masses, and that MOOSEHEART coming from the people is destined to change the entire educational system of America.
Surely this unique School-Home-City must last forever to serve the dependent normal children of the Moose.
To insure the permanence of MOOSEHEART, regardless of pestilence or famine or war or financial panic or industrial depression, Director General Davis proposes to raise a ten million dollar endowment fund.
Every good man gets immortality—every good institution deserves it.
In order that MOOSEHEART may live foreveiy you should act today!
Cut out the coupon!
Wrap your five dollar bill around it!
Address the envelope “Mooseheart, Illinois.”
Do it now!
You will never regret it!
And the Moose will never forget it!
. It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide what to do.— Elbert Hubbard.

education, and taught a trade.
At MOOSEHEART we train the “Head, Heart and HAND.”
Every day is Christmas at MOOSEHEART, because the Christmas spirit of loving service, consideration of others and mutual helpfulness is in every child’s heart at MOOSEHEART.
I am never afraid of what young people will do to the world but I am ever fearful of what the world may do to young people.
THE CHILD’S CITY AND MAN’S CITY
MOOSEHEART is a City of Childhood.
It is the world’s only city of, for and by children.
It was founded and is maintained around just one idea, and that is the training of the young, the formation of character, the conservation of childhood.
It is the “City Beautiful,” the “City Fraternal,” the “City Beloved.”
It is a city of Friendship and Service and Peace. It is the city by the side of the road, where the race of men pass by.
It is different and apart from the outside grownup world of hate and war and sin.
But it is very near to this big world!
The boys and girls at MOOSEHEART come from this great world when their father was summoned by Death, and they must go back to this real world, after they have been trained for life.
And it is our hope that, imbued with love for God and man, and faith in the ultimate triumph of right, that our MOOSEHEART boys and girls may change the world more for the better, than the world may change them for the worse.
Man’s city, where these MOOSEHEART graduates will fight the battle of life, will not be like the “City of Childhood.”
Man’s city is big and cruel, and black with smoke, and cold with hunger, and there are great crowds, where there is not one familiar face or friendly eye.
We hope the training of MOOSEHEART will give them stout hearts, capable hands, clear brains and clean souls for the high tasks of citizenship.
We have faith in these young people, and it comforts all of us who have helped to know, what

MAY DREAMS
THERE is a stir in the air.
All around there are manifestations of life. Growing, budding, blossoming, hungering, striving things are aglow with the vital urge.
The law of nature, the rule of creation, the hunger to get, and the reciprocal impulse to give, we see all about us.
Action and re-action, motion and emotion, give and take, think and act, hunger and service—in plant and flower and grass and grain and animal and man, nature’s primal instincts and life’s immutable ways.
And after the high surges, of active, restless day endeavors come the dreams of May nights.
Twilight with its meditations; dusk with its memories; night with its soliloquies and wonder-ings and hungerings, and thinking back, invoicing our selves, appraising the present and forecasting the future.
May twilight at MOOSEHEART is a wonder time.
Dusk shrouds the walks and drives and dormitories and cottages and buildings and groups of children in shadowy, half-real, half-phantom shapes.
Night comes on, and stars come out and fickle thought, changing fancy takes you back thru the years, and May dreams absorb you and thrill you and inspire you.
You think of life and love and hope and struggle and sorrow and death, and life again in another world, where all men and women are as happy and as comfortable and as well cared for, as the children at MOOSEHEART in this present world, of some uncertainty, much unemployment, unsolved problems, hate, prejudice, disease, injustice, selfishness and starvation for many thousands today in lands beyond the sea.
And you are more convinced than ever that— “MOOSEHEART is an oasis in a desert of selfishness; a guiding star pointing the way to a higher road; a School-Home-City of childhood, happiness and peace in a world of bickerings and strife.”
The World marches forward on the feet of children.
MOOSEHEART CHRISTMAS
MOOSEHEART was the ONLY city in the world, where on Christmas morn there was not a SINGLE stocking EMPTY, and not a SINGLE heart BROKEN.
Where every child had enough, and no child too much.
Where every bov and girl is given a High School
