    The characteristic of a well-bred man is, to converse with his inferiors without insolence, and with his superiors with respect and with ease.

    Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.
    —Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
