children what schools, sermons, companions, and 

 even home sometimes fail to do, develop the 

 power to think. No boy or girl can become inti- 

 mately acquainted with the ways and works of 

 these primitive folk without having the eyes of 

 observation opened, and acquiring a permanent 

 interest in the wide world in which we live. A 

 race which can produce mothers and fathers as 

 noble as those beaver in the Grand Canon who 

 offered their lives hoping thereby to save their 

 children is needed on this earth. The beaver is 

 the Abou-ben-Adhem of the wild. May his tribe 

 increase !
