In the homes of America are born the children of America and from them go out into American life, American men and women. They go out with the stamp of these homes upon them and only as these homes are what they should be, will they be what they should be.

The faculty of self-help is that which distinguished man from animals that it is the Godlike element, or holds within itself the Godlike element, of his constitution.
