Foby's "Girl"
Told All Thatt SBae Iftimew
ONE <.r the If. td^rs nt the Red Cross Si i■• -v
whose labors are world-wide, has a favorite
story.
Once, when she was called upon to pive an outline
of the scope of the work of the organization with
which she was connected, she concluded with these
words: "I have tried hard to make this subject clear,
and ho]>e I have succeeded. At any rate I have told
you all that I know."
This is apropos of the story The late Dr. Ward.
husband of Julia Ward Howe, conducted an institution
for the development of backward children. He had
under his care many who wen- am* st deaf and dumb;
bul by infinite care and patience he succeeded in im
proving this condition One beautiful little girl who
had entered the place almost dumb finally bad suc
ceeded in lisping a few sentences. One of these was:
"Good morning How are you this morning' '
One day the doctor was showing a visitor through
his unique house when this little one ran after the
stranger and recited her lesson. The .visitor did not
notice it, and was leaving the room. The child was
ready to burst into tears with vexation when Dr.
Ward, noticing her. turned to the stranger and said
impressively:
"Please listen to her; she is telling you all she
knows."
