Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Chicago Need and How to Meet It
A visitor to northern New Hampshire, noting the thin soil, asked of a farmer, What do you raise here? The prompt reply was, We raise men. The true test by which to measure any community is the quality of its manhood. Happy it is if it may say, We raise men. Not only this, the progress of a community in civilization is measured by the ideal of manhood it cherishes. If it chie?y regards what one has, the posi tion he occupies, the house and street wherein he dwells, its aims are material. If it mainly esteems what he is, its ideals are spiritual.
