Annual Report of the Superintendent

Excerpt from Annual Report of the Superintendent: October, 1922 The Rights of Children: We hear much in these later days about the rights Of men - and Of women - and all this is hopeful and commendable. But there are still too few to proclaim the rights of children. And yet, children as well as adults possess rights, inalienable and irrevocable. It is the right Of children and youth to grow and develop; to acquire correct habits, physical, intellectual and Spiritual; and under the most competent guidance to be educated to the highest possible extent compatible with their capacities and endowments; to the end that as individuals and as members of society they may occupy those stations in life for which they are best qualified by nature and by training, and that therein they may discharge duties, perform services, and enjoy the blessings Of liberty, more abundantly than they could in any other place or sphere in life.
