Some Stray Thoughts on Our People. 97 



Old Pestalozzi's words still apply to us though spoken over a 

 century ago. " If we desire to aid the poor man," he says, " the very 

 lowest among the people, this can be done in one way only, that is by 

 changing his schools into true places of education, in which the moral, 

 intellectual, and physical powers which God has put into our Nature 

 may be drawn out, so that the man may be enabled to live a life such as 

 a man should live, contented in himself and satisfying other people. 

 Thus and only thus does the man, whom in God's wide world nobofly 

 helps and nobody can help, learn to help himself.''
