for every community, a country homestead where that child can go, who needs special
encouragement. It will not be a penal place, nor even a place of reform, but it will be held out,
rather, as a dear delight and a reward. But when society values the child enough, and realises what
the child means to the State, and what the home means to the child, it will provide even better, for
then the child will have, in its own home, all that a home should give.... There will be safety. There
will be the chance to be well, to be pure; room to grow and breathe in; the sacred privacy of the
home circle"all those things that are the birthright of every child. And there will be, in some way,
beauty, to which the soul of the child naturally turns, as does a plant to the light."-Albion Fellows
