Excerpt from The Junior Republic: An Address; Delivered Before the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Monday, November 22, 1909
So the next year I took two hundred, and the next year I took a still larger crowd, and the interest continued to extend through that section of the country, and so it went on for several years. We were drawing attention from the Penn sylvania line up to Lake Ontario. Everybody Seemed to think that a great work was being done, and the people were greatlv pleased. They thought that great good was being done the boys on account of the fact that we had an opportunity to hammer lots of patriotism into them and teach them to sing hymns, - religious, patriotic, etc.
