Part 7
The home, the church, the school— They teach not wrong from right; And when the child must choose HIS is a sorry plight.
To him the wrong doth seem But childish prank and fun, And then we punish him Though harm he meant to none.
Some few there are, ’tis true By intuition bad Exceptions to the rule Unlike the normal lad.
But take them all as one— The boy is born for good, And if you teach aright Will do the things he should.
Six little children, friend, Were stamped with sign of shame; All innocent they were And ours alone the blame.

THE NEW SEMESTER
With these April numbers, THE SURVEY enters the second volume of the publication year 1912–13. Up to March 31, $13,531 of the $20,000 appealed for as necessary to carry on our educational work was in hand.
553 readers had enlisted as co-operating subscribers, out of the 800 we had set as our year’s goal.
* * * * *
The caliber of issues and educational work in spring and summer depend on our receipts and pledges for the next six months. Without capital stock or credit, we must pay our bills as we go. If we wait until money is actually in hand, the work of the staff will be cramped from week to week, and opportunities for constructive work will have slipped past.
The April magazine number illustrated how we feel the “pinch” in this direction. We had been unable to send a staff man to investigate the West Virginia coal strike. We were obliged to decline an offer of $500 from one of the interested parties to the conflict to pay the expenses of such a staff investigation.
* * * * *
It is not only in these larger undertakings, but in the every-week craftmanship of issues—appearance, paper, size—that the cramp is felt.
If you have not renewed your last year’s contribution, send it now—or send us word. If you have not joined in this co-operative enterprise, now is the time to do it.
A BIT OF EVIDENCE
From Alexander Johnson, Secretary National Conference of Charities and Correction
“On going, a couple of weeks ago, to the little village of Waterloo, Ind., to lecture on the Care of the Feeble-minded, l was agreeably surprised to find quite a large audience gathered to hear my lecture. Miss ——, who had arranged the lecture, told me when I expressed my surprise at the large audience: ‘You see we are getting quite socially-minded in our little village. We have eight subscribers to THE SURVEY here, and every copy is read by at least a dozen or fifteen people. It is THE SURVEY that has done it for us.’”
