world. More often it is a noisy, busy, crowded place where language grows, and social skills develop, and where perseverance and attention-span expand.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the character which draws them.”
