Veouiaury, us we understand it, proposes uo so-called, institution, proposes to be hampered 1 by uo precedent but instead proposes lo stop out into a held of constructive [ thought that opens up possibilities I that will most surely mean a cluing) ot mental attitude toward uplift that will mark an epoch in every line oi all such endeavor. It it not in popular thought and almost universally so. that institutional philanthropy adopts the unfortunate, maintains the unfortunate and ulti : mutely graduates the still uufortuu ate? Is it not in popular thought that the beneficiary is unfortunate to the end of the chapter? Isit not in pop pilar thought ihat such a one upon thf so-called successful completion o! | such ministry rarely exhibfts With conscious pride the diploma of hit iltga mater? Or does popular though: | grant him tiny particular distinction - . . lias it not too frequently been the attitude unconsciously, perhaps, as l sumed both upon the part of donor.land of those who actively are engager I in carrying out such activities, to take a superior attitude toward the so called unfortunate? In plain English lias not philanthropy stubbed her toi because she considered an object o I charity an inferior being? If we understand it rigfcL-'jwAimen ry rises to a conception far <sferent Yeomanry proposes to take' si-called unfortunate and convert hini lito the most fortunate. If we understand to graduate it beneficiaries into those who shall hi called 'the salt of the earth." Ilow Yeomanry proposes to d( this? By building tip a real com mu n ity.

To house comnunity gatherings, to garden, to arm, intelligent recreation facilities tnd every effort made to develop alents. To take off the tag ‘unfor unate'’ and replace with the glow ng one of “fortunate.” Who are the fortunate of this vorld? There it but one answer, lamely: those who aro so situated nd are given the opportunity that | hey may develop their God-given taints least restricted by limitations. Vhat is meant by that? Perhaps we nay convey our thought in this way: teal America is ‘Main street.” Not he so-called “upper crust,” not the ;o-called “submerged." It is the great iverage family, the family that is well to do, that is enlightened, progressive nd Christian, that entertains ideals nd expresses them. The fathers and withers in this great army of familes are the principal moulders of the houghts and career of their children A’hat has been the results of their eivorld.

What Yeomanry's children may lose in loss of parents no doubt all would say would be I impossible to replace. Yeomanry is I /going to try and largely bridge that gap. Yeomanry will teach no liinita 1 tions. Yeomanry will teach only de velopinent. Every child will matricu ate into this plan even with the world They will start clean-thoughted in .heir race of life.

the old line of thought That Yeomanry has discarded. It may be rightly maintained that Yeomanry's conception has quickened into higher conception the thoughts i of thousands just by the simple outlining of her purposes. What will the actual demonstration be? if high and right conception meets honest reward, then is there cause for fear that these i ideals will not lie manifested? We 1 think not. We are confident that ■ with the world -seemingly a world of jazz/ the hatreds and the negatives of I life so constantly emphasized, the hungry heart of humanity seeing such endeavor will gloriously welcome it and this wonderful project shine j brighter by the contrast and will mark j a real epoch in examplifying the pure teaching of the “Man of Galilee.”
