Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Proceedings of the Twentieth Annual Convention of the American Humane Association, (Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Children): Held at Cleveland, Ohio, September 23d and 24th, 1896
To be sure the grand total of results is not startling. We shall not be proclaimed to the world as the greatest of organizations, but we have steadily and persistently kept at the work of creating public sentiment, of hiding the leaven in the meal of human society. More than this, we are the only organization that gives to the world year by year a summary of what is being done throughout the United States in the interests of protection to animals and children. It is not a perfect summary, but it is approximate and valuable in its teaching. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
